BOSTON (CBS/AP) – The iPhone is now available to Verizon customers.
The nation’s largest wireless carrier began selling Apple’s popular phone in its stores Thursday.
I can wait until the hype dies down. Really. Honestly. Even if the iPhone is *THE* phone for gunbloggers... Nope. I'm sure not going to be at the Verizon store
Man, I am a bad liar, aren't I?
That is all.

I don't know... it seems like there are quite a few out there with Droids, too...
Why go with I-Phone?
You gain nothing but a proprietary operating system (with all of it's limitations) and gain nothing.
Android has caught up and surpassed the I-phone.

if you want an iPhone on Verizon (or AT&T, for that matter) at this point, you should consider waiting until June to get the iPhone 5 (Apple always releases the latest and greatest iPhone in June) - the current offering is late enough in its life cycle to probably not be with it anymore. Or if you don't like the iPhone 5, you'll be able to get the current version at a lower cost.
ditto dregan's thoughts. That seems to be the consensus within the geekosphere.
Please don't buy iphones made in communist china guys. You're feeding the dragon..
Yaaaaaayyyy!!!! You're SO gonna love it :) :) :)
The technogeeks are saying that the antenna problem with the iPhone 4 is even worse with Verizon's version.
Wait until later in the year and get the iPhone 5.
Jay,
Verizon modified their dataplan the same day they began selling the iPhone. You get less bandwidth included.

" On the day that iPhone preorders began last week, Verizon quietly revised its policy on data management: Any smartphone customer who uses an “extraordinary amount of data” will see a slowdown in their data-transfer speeds for the remainder of the month and the next billing cycle.
It’s a bit of a bait-and-switch. One of Verizon’s selling points for its version of the iPhone is that it would come with an unlimited data plan — a marked contrast to AT&T, which eliminated its unlimited data plans last year.
Verizon incidentally announced a plan for “data optimization” for all customers, which may degrade the appearance of videos streamed on smartphones, for example.
Verizon didn’t send out press releases to alert the public of this nationwide change regarding data throttling and so-called “optimization.” The only reason this news hit the wire was because a blogger noticed a PDF explaining the policy on Verizon’s website, which Verizon later confirmed was official. Obviously it’s bad news, so Verizon wanted to keep a lid on it."
If JayG gets an iPhone, Alan's gonna be insufferable next VC...
