Sorry if I missed something but when did Apple say the white iPhone was delayed til 2011?
This seems more likely than not by now-
1. WSJ is not hedging at all, which is different than typical rumors. It may not be 100% but they are pretty certain themselves.
2. With Android market share growing, I think this move is definitely necessary for Apple. It will also keep them ahead of Microsoft, who will end up late to CDMA as well.

So they cooked up a story and chucked us back into the meat grinder.....
What happened to you WSJ? I thought you were a publisher I could trust.

If you believe that then I have an awesome browser to sell you. It's called Firefox and I'm only charging 9.99 for it. Interested?
If Apple did not create AT&T branded iPhones then what makes you think they would make a branded iPhone for Verizon this late in the game? Seriously dude, Verizon is not as big a deal like you try to make it out to be. The days of branded phones with crapware is coming to an end and Apple is leading the way.
Apple makes only one run of iPhones for all carriers around the world and then allocates IMEI numbers in a database to shipments per carrier which demand SIM locks.
Hmm...your delusional. Verizon already has more customers than ATT anyways. ATT burden isn't gonna change if they cant handle what they have now. Now, Verizon may develop a burden if they don't have one already. Just don't expect Att's burden to ease if they got problems already and don't even have as many as Verizon's. Period.
Since it isn't out yet, because of light escaping and antenna craziness, I believe that is the best sensible option to do. And also the most lucrative, think about it early this year was a big hit and they can make next year 2011 even better.
Given the LTE specifics that were announced today. . .
I'd say that a Verizon iPhone will be announced six weeks either side of Christmas.
Wouldn't it be quite the story if the iPhone is the first LTE smartphone available on Verizon? I checked my address just now on VZW's site and it says that LTE is available now where I live (not soon.) Interestingly enough, there is not a single LTE device currently available. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Steve has negotiated a deal to make the iPhone the first LTE smartphone available to Verizon subscribers.
At the very least, I could see them giving Apple the liberty to make the first announcement about having an LTE smartphone on Verizon. It seems very odd that this new technology will be launched in several major cities by the end of this year and yet there's not a single device available now that supports it -- unless VZW and Apple are cooking up an event that will happen sooner rather than later.

He has the fiduciary duty to his shareholders to do just that. He's the CEO of a public company.
World phones have simple settings where the user enables:
- Automatic (connects to best network), or
- CDMA only, or
- GSM/UMTS only.
As for the SIM, it's in a regular SIM socket.
And, unlike ATT with the iPhone, Verizon will unlock the GSM side so owners can use overseas SIMS if they wish.
Apple could easily do the same thing they do now, and lock the CDMA or GSM side to anyone they want, during activation.
Most World phones are quad-band GSM (which means they'll work anywhere). The UMTS-3G radio is usually the 2100 band, so 3G is also available in most of the world (except the USA). Some World phones even support HSDPA.
Here's the press release I was referring to: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-71864639.html
My understanding on this subject is almost nill so does this change your answer or support it?
Hmm... so... no real confirmation in all of this that Verizon will actually be carrying the thing, but rather simply that Apple is making a CDMA iPhone? There's a difference between the two, though I wonder how interested they'd be in doing such a thing if not releasing for Verizon.
Apple Inc. has made no statement about the projected availability of the white handset.
If you get bored, head on over to the iPad forum where they're talking about a 7" iPad before Christmas.
Just like the guy falling from a cliff thinks "so far, so good."
Exactly the correct reaction: "Yeah, right," because that won't happen.
This dead horse again?
Seriously, I normally don't like getting into discussions about a Verizon iPhone or do I post a comment on a thread like this but enough is enough. How often does this hydra keep having to grow a new head?
