Verizon Gets The iPhone

It's official! As of today, Verizon has verified that they will be getting the iPhone 4. We all heard rumours on Twitter, and numerous websites about this, but it appears the rumours are true after all. Verizon held a small event to announce this, and we were some-what surprised not to see Steve Jobs there.

After hearing about this on a local news station, Verizon said "Now that Verizon has the iPhone, users will get a choice of carriers, for the first time ever." Too bad we have had a choice of carriers, it is called a "unlock", allowing T-mobile users to use their SIM card's in the iPhone.

I myself, did not think that was actually going to happen. I thought that Apple was going to stick with AT&T.

According to Verizon's website, the iPhone is set to release on 2/10/10 with the 16GB model for sale. A 2 year activation and data pak, I mean pack, is required. The price is set at $199.99 for the iPhone 4.

Honestly not even that excited, if this was 2 years ago when I actually wanted a Iphone I would be all over it. I'm with Verizon and have been more than pleased with my Droid X.

I like my droid a lot, but I might switch to the iphone when my renewal comes up. Sticking with verizon either way. I'm not a big iphone fanboy, I prefer the droid, but the interface on the droid can be so slow for me a lot of the time. Using other people's iphones, I definitely like the way the interface responds right away.
