Verizon iPhone to Come After CES?

since april of 2010.... there have been well over 50 posts on macrumors all pointing to either january or Q1 2011, all rumors posted here since april of 2010, have been pointing to that same date.... and before valentines day is january/q1
It never seemed likely that Steve would have Verizon make the announcement. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Verizon iPhone announcement during WWDC or even it's own event sometime later in Jan. or earlier in Feb.
I just dropped sprint a few weeks ago and finally got an iPhone. What have I encountered? Fewer dropped calls, better sound quality, an awesome phone. I'm happy. What's with all these whiners?
thats good where you live.... but not everyone lives by you. Here everyone loves the ipod touch! but hates the iphone since it is on at&t, which seldom can make a phone call here.
...everyone being a exaggeration meaning several people around where I live,
I'd be rich if I counted the amount of times we had sources. . .
No doubt it'll happen eventually but can the hype die down a little? Please?
T-Mobile's version most likely.
Not really, many of us rather have our known consistency. Also, thats for people where coverage of AT&T is best. Like in New Orleans

I guess, this is a "controlled leak" by apple because of the recent rumors of verizon unveiling new android devices.
Nice move, so people will think twice of getting an android on verizon this january.

Unsurprising.
I 86'ed Comcast in 1999 as an ISP. I had them from 2006-08 as a cable TV service provider. Never again.
They could not pay me to come back to them. Adios, dorks! I voted with my dollars. You guys get nothing.
well...
i think its pretty obvious statement that an announcement will happen some day/month/year after the 2011 CES. captain obvious at your service

Why do people continue to compare the United States to every other country in the world?
The US is the 3rd country in the history of the world to reach a population of 300 million and depending upon where you measure, the US is anywhere from 3000 to 4000 miles wide.
Comparing mobile network service with an island country or some EU nation of 11 million people is ludicrous. Overlapping a few thousand network towers is a little less complicated than 250,000+ towers spread across 4000 miles. And don't tell me that doesn't effect performance.
The same as using my home WiFi solution as the baseline for state wide WiFi service. Pretty stoopid.
And I'd love to hear the excuses why people don't think geography and population doesn't play into it.
+1
My service will most definitely improve once everyone swings to Verizon. Not like I really have any problems anyways. Then we'll start hearing all the Verizon network sucks and AT&T is better threads
But will never happen in the foreseeable future.

At least it's not a rumor about the iPhone mini... Anyways, I believe in the Verizon iPhone 2011. It would most likely be released in the summer as usual regardless of when they announce. So whether that be at CES, in February, or whatever, it doesn't matter.

It does.
Why does Scandinavia have better mobile telephony and broadband Internet systems with largely the same approximate population densities as the U.S.? At much lower pricing?
Actually, much of Europe is this way, particularly the larger former Eastern Bloc countries. America's laggard behavior is not justified by population density statistics. Note that American per capita income is much higher that most of those places. A close comparison (population density, income, etc.) would be Sweden, yet Sweden's technology infrastructure blows doors on the U.S.
Explain that.
I will remind you that Canada deployed their HSPA+ networks about 6-12 months before the U.S.
Now explain that one. Yeah, you can't.
Looking at the bigger picture, the U.S. needs to be compared with the rest of the world since technology knows no boundaries. The United States had the greatest landline telephony system, the first big cable TV installation, and yet they have let most of the world surpass them. Including little countries like Malta as well as big countries like Indonesia. If America is to be a world competitor, they must assess performance against the rest of the world.
No more of this bubble crap that you assume. It's almost 2011. We don't live in a fishbowl.

I like the idea of announcing in January that the Verizon iPhone is coming in June. Six months of reading about everyone ready to dump AT&T might make AT&T do something for the rest of us left.
I welcome the choice...
...however, AT&T has good coverage/speed where I live (Chicago area). My Verizon friends have slower access here....and no concurrent voice/data. Also, whenever we meet at the popular restaurant chains / coffee bars, I get free wifi....they do not.

If this excites you, go have fun on Verizon. I loathe that crooked company after buying a Verizon MiFi and having to deal with their shady billing practices. I'll stick with ATT. No problems here in Southeastern Michigan and at least they don't try to steal from me.
