The nice thing about having a "phone" made of used paper cups with string is you get to enjoy the faint smell of Jack Daniel's with every call. laugh

Well, lookee there....
Quote:
Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) will start selling the Apple (AAPL) iPhone in January 2011, Bloomberg reports, citing “two people familiar with the plans.” The wire service said officials at both Verizon and Apple declined to comment.
There have been rumors for months that Apple was nearing a decision to break its exclusive U.S. distribution deal with AT&T (T); as noted earlier today, analysts at Barclays Capital are now so certain that the iPhone will debut with Verizon Wireless early next year that it has begun to factor such a move into earnings estimates for various companies that would be affected.
The report has given a lift to shares of Verizon Communications, which owns 55% of Verizon Wireless, which it owns jointly with Vodafone.

Honestly, it wouldn't be such a bad thing. I'm not opposed to AT&T in general but their service in my area absolutely stinks! I have been considering the Droid but if Verizon is going to be offering the iPhone, I may wait.

Compared to most other countries, wireless customers in the U.S. get hosed the most with respect to contracts and product offerings. Carriers in other countries allow you to use any phone on any network ("unlocked" phones).

OK
We have two choices here - AT&T or Pioneer which is the wireless of a localized rural telephone cooperative. Used to have Pioneer but if we traveled very far away from this corner of the state we paid roaming charges!
