My thoughts exactly! I've been really happy about the rumors of the iPhone becoming CDMA compatible. Looks like Sprint won't be too far behind (Depending on their contracts with HTC and Palm that is....)

I'm still gonna stick with my Hero, Android FTW! Google runs my life and my company, why would I want to change to an iPhone?

Yup. My myself I was just a little above 50. I am not even to 130 and I have my HTC, my wife's Instinct and a 3rd line and all have unlimited data/text/mms/etc.

On sprint.

This isnt new news and its been posted several times before.
Apple originally came to Verizon to carry their phone, and Verizon turned it down.

Internet Rumors only started a few weeks ago about it seriously coming to Verizon, so yeah it's pretty new news, that they originally went to Verizon to pitch it is irrelevant now and not at all what the article/thread is talking about. The iPhone's move to CDMA compatibility is huge news.

nice try though

[mrsleeve]

well I have a VZN family plan, w/ 4 phones, 2 moto droids and 2 standard flip phones, my total bill is just over 200 a month for (1400 mins for non M2M and not in "circle") so nearly unlimited mins, unlimited data, txt, blah blah blah.

The place where they fuck you is the smart/black berry add on they charge you for each advanced device, 30 bucks a pop per month.

but to me its worth the money to have a phone that works almost any where, we live where the coverage gets thin fast, and I work in many places like that, so to have to best coverage every where is important to me as I am all over the place and never know where I will be next.

lol ok?

should i link you to blogs about Verizon boldly and publicly stating that them picking up the iPhone is purely up to Apple? months ago, a year ago even.... i mean i've mentioned it several times throughout multiple repeats of iPhone threads but whatever..
why do you think Verizon has been taking direct shots at the iPhone and Apple with Luke Wilson?

My G1 with unlimited web and data, along with my wife's Instinct with the same only runs us like $130 a month for both.

And yes, Android FTW. I don't even really care if they don't do the 2.0 update for the G1, Android is still the best phone OS I've ever had.

just hit the tape


(Updates with closing share price in fifth paragraph.)

By Mary Childs
Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. may release the iPhone to
all U.S. wireless carriers in the next 18 months, doubling or
tripling the number of devices sold, said Tim Horan, a
telecommunications analyst at Oppenheimer & Co.
T-Mobile USA Inc. will get the phone this summer, followed
by Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. in the fall, and
Clearwire Corp. in 2011, Horan wrote in a note yesterday. AT&T
Inc. has been the exclusive carrier since the iPhone debuted in
June 2007.
“We believe AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity arrangement with
Apple will be expiring by mid-2010,” Horan wrote. “For wireless
carriers, customers are demanding the device and they need to
remain competitive.”

I already know that T-Mobile is getting it. They have a call center here in the next town over, and I've got a few friends that work there that said they're already getting training for it.

They already got Palm Pres. I am actually going there right now to see what kind of deal I can get from them because Sprint gives me unlimited everything for 3 phones for like a hundred bucks. Well I have a set number of minutes that I never use and they have free calls to any mobile phone so it is basically unlimited.
