Thanks Jeff

The iPhone on Verizon (PLEASE) was a bit of wishful thinking rant.
I know about the GSM CDMA thing and the contract with AT&T.
The iPhone does makes up for some of this stuff by virtue of it's
usefulness. But honestly i could do without GSM, at least where
I'm located.

If it continues to get on my nerves i just might resurrect my palm.

As for having an iPhone work in the Verizon network, you'll have to wait at least 3 and a half more years at the earliest, since Apple signed a 5 year exclusive with AT&T in the US when the iPhone was launched in July of 2007. That and the fact that the iPhone is a GSM based handset (worldwide) and Verizon uses CDMA in its network means that you'll need to find another phone to meet your needs if you are with Verizon.
