Honestly. I switched to AT&T from verizon a few months ago just for the iPhone and I don't regret it. I have no issues with coverage or 3G speeds in the Central Jersey area. I don't see a need to switch back.

Nah, Apple has publicly stated that the white iPhone would be coming in the spring. It's still winter until late March.
When Apple makes nebulous statements about release dates, they typically ship toward the end of the stated window, not before.
Anyone every think its the phone thats the problem. Ive had 3 iphones. the original the 3 and the 3GS. all dropped calls. Having att before the iphone and still having it now without a iphone i can say i dont drop calls anymore. Maybe the phone/manufacture is part of the problem. Not completely letting att off the hook either but just saying.
HAHAHA, we have free talk on verizon to verizon, most of my friends and families across the country are verizon users(only 3 of them are AT&T users and never pick the phone, I wonder why
) I have 300 minutes and I barely use 100.

I can't see Apple releasing the iPad 2 less than 10 months after the original. That's unrealistic.
The funniest part of the Verizon iPhone release will be watching all the Android fans out there suddenly have to start lumping Verizon in with AT&T. "Too bad you Apple bozos aren't free to choose your service providers because AT&T and Verizon both suck!"

Even better is the fact that with verizon you get free unlimited verizon to verizon texting, with ATT you don't and i had the 10.00 txting plan bc of this, but the stupid gf had to switch to att thats where the majority of my txts get eaten into
While you do have a point with specific dates, but there have been a whole bunch of "Verizon iPhones coming in (specific month) rumors for ages and haven't come true. Besides, read the story again. I don't see anything explicitly saying Apple will release the Verizon iPhone. It could be a different product, like iPad 2 or a flying car. Due to this non-specificity, it's not major news to me. If it is to you, fine. You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to.
I personally am just happy to have an iPhone. Mine has always worked everywhere I go. The only issue I've ever had that was mildly annoying was when I was driving from Ohio to California and my iheartradio kept having to resync because of the tower switch. Other than that, no dropped calls. No loss of connection while using it. Always receive texts as well.
Also, with the improvements that AT&T will be making alongside their launch of LTE, the 3G speeds will only become faster and faster.

My prediction continues to be that this is a Verizon iPad not iPhone and will have LTE/CDMA.
The CDMA iPhone handsets that Apple is producing is, I believe, for the frequencies for China and India.
Verizon iPhone 1-12-12.

what proof of this ludacris statement do you have....Cingular had pretty high ratings
It's amazing how all of the "Leaks" are just vague enought that it is impossible to really put your finger on what is going to happen.
It will be so glorious the day it is confirmed, 100% by Mr. Steven Jobs.

Why aren't more folks recognizing this possibility? I have a Crackberry World Phone on VZW which works on lots of networks. No reason to think the next iPhone can't do the same - multiple radio's in the phone = one device for AT&T, T-mobile, VZW networks. Makes sense from a product development, sales & support perspective.
I believe it was when Cingular became AT&T (or Cingular acquired AT&T, however the merger worked). The network couldn't handle the added users. Though that's just what I've heard. I switched to Verizon before Cingular disappeared.
If I were Steve Jobs, I'd definitely spend a few moments of my day reading Mac Rumors forum and having a good laugh!

I agree with you about Verizon ipad, but I don't think Apple is going with LTE just yet.
If there is going to be a Verizon iPad this year, why not a Verizon iPhone?
Yea, Apple sure is going to make a CDMA iPhone for China and India and not for Verizon
. Come on, that is the silliest thing I've heard. 50% of all iPhones produced are sold in the US. America is where the action and the $$$ is.I find it hard to believe that iPad2 would develop the same amount of buzz, pent-up demand, and require the substantial human resources that a Verizon iPhone would. I can't see droves of people lining up for a CDMA iPad 2 at a verizon outlet. Especially just after the holidays when a ton of iPads were just sold.
Just a feeling.... I don't have a dog in this fight.
HAHAHA, we have free talk on verizon to verizon, most of my friends and families across the country are verizon users(only 3 of them are AT&T users and never pick the phone, I wonder why
ATT also has free mobile to mobile.
We use about 350 minutes a month, mostly mobile to mobile.
We also have 4000+ rollover minutes.
I don't think our usage would change if we switched to verizon.
if you get unlimited minutes do you get rollover minutes
Millions who wont care huh?
This statement is utterly useless without a dependable source...so who cares?
I might as well add that there are several millions who do find this as an issue.
Well that might be utterly useless to you and your family because you don't have any friends or family to call, that's on you, but not to the rest of millions of customers who do in fact use them
