I'm curious on that since during the Q/A they said that it was a "multi-year non exclusive contract"
 
To be fair Tim Cook did say the agreement with Verizon is a multi-year non-exclusive deal. You have to admit, it does beg the question...
 
I'm trying to find it, but I know I just read somewhere on engadget that it will not be an exclusive deal for Verizon only.
 
There is some logic for Apple to release the iPhone to the largest of the 3 remaining carriers first. Then slowly release it to T-Mobile and Sprint after a few months so that each of the networks can handle it.

I think that's what Verizon wanted, but it was asked during the announcement and as previously stated it's a "non-exclusive" deal.

A Sprint iPhone with WiMax would be a good Christmas present.
 
The verizon iPhone is CDMA based, I wont be surprised if Sprint did obtain it!

Plus during the Q&A

It was said verizon iPhone is a "non-exclusive deal"

Let the conspiracy theories begin!
 
I think it'll be in the summer when the new iPhone is released. They said it was a multi year non exclusive deal, but I believe verizon paid extra to get the iPhone 4 now instead of waiting for the iPhone 5 this summer which I believe will be both CDMA and gsm, and will be released on all carriers.
