"Get Ready for Verizon’s Dream Phone"
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/29/verizon_iphone_seidenberg/
This article is about the upcoming Verizon iPhone. Since the 2007 release of Apples iPhone with AT&T, Verizon customers have been awaiting the release of the day the iPhone would come to Verizon. It seems that the wait is almost over. Recently, Apple has begun to sell the iPad with a MiFi card on Verizon’s network. This is a step closer to the release of the iPhone for Verizon. It is estimated that Apple could sell an estimated 8 to 9 million iPhones on the Verizon network just next year alone, as opposed to the 22 million iPhones sold in the United States in the past 3 years. In 2007, Verizon had turned down the opportunity to be the sole provider of the iPhone, but have recently been in talks with Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple). In the years that have passed, Verizon has been building a better, faster 4G network that will be able to uphold the demand of the iPhone. Verizon has been working diligently to try and build their network up to be a better provider than AT&T. Since having the iPhone, AT&T receives many complaints of the service, mainly because of the iPhone reaching out to a lot of the towers and using a lot of the network.
Verizon customers would be very pleased to find out that the iPhone would be joining Verizon. Verizon has been utilizing technology to better their networks, in order to make the service better, especially if they’d be bringing in much more customers using the iPhone. The Internet would be faster and service would be better on Verizon. By carrying the iPhone, and already carrying the iPad, Verizon is increasing revenue significantly and if a deal is worked out, their sales would sky-rocket. The arrival of the iPhone has been anticipated for years. In my opinion, to have the iPhone on the Verizon network would help them out significantly. The only thing that I think AT&T had going for them was the iPhone, because all I hear about AT&T is how the service is terrible. So, I believe that if the iPhone was available on both networks, Verizon would do significantly better. As technology gets better and better, so will the amount of sales for Verizon. Hopefully the release is somewhere in the near future and people everywhere will be able to utilize the technology available with the iPhone, whether they are on AT&T’s service or Verizon’s.
As a Verizon customer, I must say that the wait has been extremely annoying. In my opinion, Verizon has a service that exceeds any other competitor. Bringing the iPhone to the service will only excel them further as a company. Apple sales will only increase as these patiently waiting Verizon customers will jump on the release of the phone. I have a Blackberry and compared to the iphone, it is complete garbage. Many of my friends have the new iPhone 4 and it is just a way over the top and an unbelievable piece of technology that many of the Verizon customers will soon obtain. I agree with you that AT&T's service is probably one of the worst, so after Verizon receives the iPhone,sales for AT&T will decrease severely.
