all i know is that i talk on my iphone for more than 2 minutes once a month and during that call, the signal drops at least 3 times no matter where i am.
I have found that standing on my head on holding the phone with my feet helps quite a bit.

No, you don't. If you don't want to pay Comcast for poor but expensive service, don't.Title: I have to pay to watch Hi Def on my OWN Hi Def TV
Because the Martians don't get discussed on Engadget?Why do people continue to compare the United States to every other country in the world?
4 ought to be enough. And there are more than 4. And the big 4 have vastly different plans/prices, so there doesn't seem to be obvious collusion. Recently they have been dropping prices a bit, first time in quite some time.The problem is there isn't enough telecom competition in the United States. Deregulation would go a long way for lowering phone bills.
Those are not related issues.I don't believe Verizon is ready for a "sudden jump in users." I don't know about there 4G network, but I hit many dead spots with my 3G phone.
And I'd love to hear the excuses why people don't think geography and population doesn't play into it.
You typed both these on the same day?ROFL... completely predictable dribble.
It's not about densities... you go small enough, my home has the same average population density as does the rest of the United States.

Data service is an issue of pop density. And the number of towers is also an issue. Look at your Canada example. Canada is bigger than the USA physically. They essentially need the same number of towers for fewer people. That's a lot of cost to be paid by fewer people. Now, I don't know what their coverage is like, but if it is comparable to the USA, they are doing a better job with less cash.
So, where's the cash going in the US?
Whyt is it taking so long? over here in Mexico we already have the CDMA iPhone 4 with IUSACELL
Good day people!
Verizon could've had the iPhone 4 years ago, but they said no and AT&T said yes. I have been using iPhone on AT&T since mid-2009, 3G, 3GS, and now iPhone 4, and have used it up and down the East Coast, and have had no problems with AT&T's service. I know others have, but the majority of iPhone users have not. If, and when, the iPhone ever does show up with Verizon, it will be interesting to see how they handle the massive increase in data and calls. Frankly, if it had been Verizon from the start, I doubt their track record would be that much better than AT&T.
A few points:
1. I was in a Verizon store the other day and the salesman noted that I was eligible for a new phone. I replied, no, I'm waiting to see if you get an iPhone, and walked out of the store. I can't be the only one doing this, which means they are losing boatloads of sales as many people are waiting to see. If there was no iPhone, then why wouldn't Verizon stomp out these rumors this time?
2. Apple's stock price points have been gauged by analysts next year under the assumption of a Verizon iPhone. If it doesn't happen, not only will Apple lose millions of potential sales (they've milked AT&T all they can), but they may very well see a drop in their stock. Apple is to the point that it MUST expand its iPhone offerings in the U.S. to further increase their stock price, as well as profit margins...period.
3. Those who assume to think that Verizon will never get the iPhone are just plain silly. Apple knows Verizon has a larger subscriber base and knows they're itching to get an iPhone, but not willing to move to AT&T to get it. That equals millions of sales, plain and simple. To assume that Verizon will forever be left in the cold is ludicrous to say the least.
Because they carry the iPad.

That would make sense if the iPad was a smartphone. The menu that the poster pulled up was specifically referring to smart phones, not the iPad menu you referenced.
between CES and Verizon iPhone? I believe neither Apple nor Verizon participate in CES so why would the rumor even mention one?
It was an assumption based on the fact that Ivan Seidenberg is giving the keynote at CES.
A really bad assumption given that January is now more reflected upon the iPad and it coming to Verizon.
I cant give you any insights. But I think Apple is the one that has to make that announcement.

So it's definite that Verizon would not announce it. I thought it could be a possibility, but I was mistaken.
Pls change name of site from MacRumors to Verizon iPhone Rumors.

As opposed to the Valentine's day that falls on June 3rd?
You would think the "in the wild" test phone would have surfaced by now if january was the release date. Nada so far.
That's a lot of "if's".![]()
