So this means that If I am on an AT&T iPhone, I have to cancel my contract, then go to Verizon and buy ANOTHER iPhone, and then sign a 2 year contract with them? And I’m not going to get the 4G, but only the 3G. Sweet. I’m calling at&t right now to cancel…NOT.
FFWD one year: What happens when the next iPhone comes out? Meaning, one that was designed specifically for the Verizon Network, as opposed to this one which is, at best, being retrofitted? And since I signed up on Feb 3rd 2011, I’m not eligible for an upgrade yet huh? So I’m stuck with my Originally-made-for-AT&T-but-now-Retrofitted-for-Verizon iPhone 4 on 3G for another year or so. Groovy.
And what about the data plans? We are also ASSUMING that the data plans will be cheaper over at Verizon since everyone knows that AT&T is EVIL. Will the Verizon “unlimited” even be offered? We ARE talking about Apple here. Let’s not be surprised if there is some clause in that contract there that prevents that.
About the only way this makes sense, is for the people who have been waiting for it to happen for the past year or so, ever since the rumors began circulating. I’m sure that in that last year, about half of those people have already gotten tired of waiting and gotten an Android phone, like I did. Half of the others that are still waiting, have been waiting for so long that they could wait even longer if the Verizon Plans look anything like what AT&T is offering.
This sounds like a scam and looks like a Flop. Verizon already looks like an asshole and their iPhone isn’t even out yet. They are hoping that we won’t notice we are getting a Corvette with a diesel engine, Just because it looks like a Corvette. For all we know they could be counting on the masses of iPhone customers to hate AT&T so much that they just BLINDLY switch over without really looking at the specifics and details.
Shame on you Verizon, for waiting so long that people have moved on from caring that you NOW have the iPhone.
