In a move that will place Apple in a better position against its Android based Rivals, Verizon is all set to Introduce Apple iPhone 4 on its network starting January early next year.
IPhone has been the exclusivity of AT&T ever since its launch in 2007. The move has definitely helped AT&T mop up users despite complains in its services by the existing customers. The latest move if functional would definitely be a plus for Verizon. Analysts expect the move may help Verizon to add up to 3 million customers every quarter. It is also expected to benefit Apple, as it would enable current Verizon users to switch to their device. With many users showing reluctance of shifting to AT&T due to its poor service quality, a Verizon option will definitely boost its sales in future.
Verizon is currently building a high-speed fourth-generation network and is expected to unveil a suite of devices to run on its new technology in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. Verizon currently distributes all of the android based Smartphones and those from the Stable of Research in Motion, both Apple Rivals. With an access through Verizon, Apple will have an exposure to a larger Market.

I have had AT&T and hated it! I went to Verizon 2 years ago and love it! I have been waiting and waiting for iphone to come to verizon and it hasn’t yet so I decided to buy the Motorola Devour and Android phone and LOVE it. I am used to it and love the moto blur technology it has. I own an Apple ipod, and bought a new Apple Macbook pro witch I love and am a huge Apple fan. BUT, after Apple dilly dagging around I bought an Android phone and now if iphone comes to Verizon……..i’m gonna stay with the Android system. I LOVE IT!
