Verizon and the iPhone
Once Verizon gets the iPhone and switches their service platform will the older iPones work with Verizon?

Don't you mean "if" vice "once"? Nobody has announced anything to date about a VZW version of the iPhone.
To answer your question, NO. VZW and AT&T use different technologies so the hardware would not be compatible.
As has already been stated, SEARCH!. There is a whole 3 page thread in the "Anything Goes" forum about this right now.

i was giving a guy at att a hard time cause my otterbox is falling apart and it is a month old and they wernt willing to help. i said i cant wait for iphone to go to verizon and he said i bet it wont be long. i dont know if he was lieing or not
you should take that up with Otterbox, not ATT.
No it should read once they get it. Verizon will be getting the iPhone. When they do, you owe me $5.
and baggs, I did pull this out my DANCING PRETTY PONIES, and i have no clue what Im talking about.... just saving you the trouble of typing that, as its your usual type of response to anyone posting about anything.

You know what would be kind of crazy too. The new chip that they will be putting in the "Verizon Iphone", well what if it too were a dual core chip. All the android phones seem to be doing it (or at least new year) and I bet that apple will probably incorporate dual cores into the new chips that will power their new phone. What do you think? (Let's all try and get along this time so that the moderators don't lock my thread...)

I'll believe it when I see it. I will wait out a bit too to see how Verizon's network handles the data traffic with the iPhone. AT&T actually has a pretty fast network, but the heavy data use has caused significant slowdown, there's no doubt AT&T should have been prepared for this.
Now it'll be interesting if it strains Verizon's network. I believe CDMA technology does handle bandwidth better than GSM.

You didn't but all the rumors are saying "January of 2011" for a VZW iPhone. My guess is if it happens, it will happen when the iPhone 5 comes out with LTE that will be compatible with AT&T AND VZW, not January.
Either way, we shall see what happens....

From what I have read the rumors are claiming it will be a dual mode (CDMA/GSM) chipset that will work "on all carriers world wide" but NOT being 4G/LTE capable. That's if you believe rumors.
The Official announcement will come Tuesday 1/11/11 (<--- cool numbers ) so be prepared to pay up that $5. All they need to do is officially announce it and you owe me. I take cash or paypal.

I'm going to go ahead and save this thread and come back to it on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see who is going to be paying whom. ;P
