I do not get why people think this!
They released the Verizon iPhone as soon as the exclusivity was ended with ATT. Thats why they did it! They didnt want to wait another 6 months and watch many Verizon customers adopt Android. No reason to wait when they can expand their presence.
Then wouldnt Verizon be pissed if ATT had a better phone before them?
It is just stupid to think that the next iPhone wont be Verizon compatible. The only question is will they integrate all the technology into one phone so they are compatible with both or manufacture two different phones.
You're missing the point.
Those VZW users that flocked straight to the iPhone when it came out for their network won't be able to get the new phone unless they pay full price for it, because they would already be locked into the iPhone 4 that they got when it first came out for them. So taking advantage of it then would screw themselves over for when the new one comes out, unless VZW changes its terms (which I don't see happening).
