the new phone looks cool. I have been a verizon customer since the mid 90's but I really want an I phone. I hope that by the end of the apple conference this week something is said about verizon getting an I phone. Has anyone heard anything?

Verizon's network runs on a wireless standard called CDMA, which is incompatible with AT&T's GSM network. It's not impossible to offer phones on both networks -- Research in Motion (RIMM) sells BlackBerry phones on every major U.S. network. But it wouldn't necessarily make economic sense for Apple.
For one, Apple has proudly advertised that consumers can make calls and surf the Web simultaneously on the iPhone, but Verizon's CDMA network can't support that feature.
This is the only reason I am with AT&T. :rolleyes:
