AT&T always had the worst signal between all Network Providers. Verizon might as well be one of the best? Probably the 1st best lol. So yeah, that would be a wise choice so people would at least get more options available for the iPhones.

Doesn't strength of signal depend upon the area you live in?
For starters I don't get the people that complain about ATT. My family and I have had Cingular/ATT for many years now and the signals have always been great.
But other than that. I just got an iPhone as a late Christmas gift and I really like it. What does this mean for me? Am I going to get screwed by this? Am I going to be left with an expensive phone I can't use because Apple decides to switch to Verizon?
And finally. I really can't see why Apple would leave ATT conidering all the people that now have iPhones. I'm sure a lot of people bought into 2 year contracts and in the end this move will just end up F'ing the Apple fans. I could see them spreading to Verizon but leaving ATT doesn't make sense.
Has it been 5 years yet seems to me there is a contract with AT&T so even
if it will be offered to other providers it will not happen anytime soon without
lawsuits popping up.
honestly i would love for this to happen because i am stuck with verizon and I really want the iphone. However supposedly there is a contract with att and there are also technical problems that the iphone will have to overcome in order to be introuced onto the verizon network. I do believe that apple would have better sales if it were available on verizon but I really dont think this will happen this year but who knows. it would be awesome though. I'd buy one so fast.

The iPhone came out in summer of 2007, so no, five years is nowhere close to being up.
the 5 year contract with att is for the current apple iphone. whos to say they wont create a different iphone that is smaller or a "mini" version of the phone wich would be considered a different product. technically its not the same product so they can not sue.

Have you read the contract? Does it specifically state that it was only for the original iPhone or for every iPhone that Apple will release, or any phone that Apple will release for that matter? Don't make presumptions if you don't know all of the facts.
Just some stats CDMA supports 270 million while GSM supports
over 1 billion thats world wide and since Apple INC sells almost
world wide the market has basicly been spoken for however
CDMA has slightly better performance gains currently and that
is subject to change.

Yea I wrote that earlier in this thread. Couple that with the fact that the CDMA network takes a much bigger hit on Battery life then GSM and Apple is better off (if they are staying with only one technology and not duel mode) staying with GSM from a sales standpoint.
I never realized this but I guess Verizon doesn't really like apple much. Just about none of their phones are compatible with Macs... And they turned down the iPhone in the first place...

But who really has the facts? We can sit here all day and guess and make educated decisions, but the bottom line is we don't know. We don't know contracts, we don't know specifics, we don't know anything really, and if someone did know, they couldn't talk.

Sure they do. They have drivers for all of their EVDO cards. Also, most of their phones that allow for Bluetooth transfers will work right out of the box with a Mac. The only problem I've ever had was finding an iSync driver for my Moto W755, but that was a brand new phone at the time.

Really? My Dare didn't work with bluetooth nor my Voyager. I couldn't find any drivers, either. Is it specifically LG Verizon phones, then?
