It is another prediction, like those that said the I-Phone was coming to Verizon last year.

I hope it is true but I am losing faith.

I have played with a Droid recently. It is a good phone... but my iPhone 4 is still easier to use. The iPhone needs no explaining. You just know what to do. The droid wasnt bad, but still not as user friendly as the iPhone.

IMO the iPhone 4 is the king of the hill.

I have a Droid X which is a little big but I just got a Samsung Droid for my wife and it seems great. Yes the interface is not quite as nice as a I Phone but the Droid is very nice and taking market share. I think the Droid is forcing Apple to make nice with Verizon.

I would have to agree with the interface between the iPhone vs Droid X. IMO peeps like the iPhone interface because it has bigger icons/packaging than the DroidX. I actually went with the DroidX because it flowed better. Once, you get used to the DroidX, it is awesome!!!

For those waiting for a Verizon iPhone, the wait may not be much longer. Citing a person familiar with Apple's plans "who isn't authorized to discuss them publicly," Bloomberg has been reporting that Apple will "probably" introduce a Verizon iPhone after next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. But what's interesting about the latest articles is that analysts are already predicting the number of AT&T customers who will defect to Verizon for its new iPhone.

The estimates range from 1 million to 6 million moving from AT&T to Verizon, though the bulk of sales of a potential Verizon iPhone would still come from current Verizon customers updating their existing phones.

The Bloomberg article quotes John Hodulik, an analyst at UBS AG in New York, who comes in "somewhere in the middle" with his projections, saying 2.3 million would switch from AT&T to pick up a Verizon iPhone. Hodulik expects AT&T would sell 8.8 million iPhones in 2011 (down from 15.6 million in 2010) and that Verizon would sell 13.3 million. Of those 13.3 million, 10 million would go to Verizon subscribers and the rest would come from other carriers.

If indeed Verizon introduces an iPhone later this month, there are still some unknowns that could affect sales. For instance, how much will service plans for a Verizon iPhone cost (typically, Verizon's plans cost more than those of rival carriers), and will the phone offer any new enhancements? Also, despite a lot of AT&T customers being unhappy with that carrier's service, many will be weighing whether to hold out for an improved fifth-generation iPhone that will arrive in June and may support 4G data transmissions. Additionally, AT&T could offer incentives for customers to stick with the company. And finally, perhaps its service will improve as more folks defect to Verizon.

I can't believe that there will be a lot of AT&T iPhone customers defecting to Verizon. It just doesn't make sense.
  1. If you have an iPhone 4, you got locked into a 2-year contract with AT&T. No one, like me, is more than 6 months into that contract. The penalties would not make it worthwhile to switch. Even in the NYC metropolitan area, AT&T has improved slightly -- not as good as Verizon but just better.
  2. I wouldn't buy a new iPhone now. I would be waiting for June (or so) to buy the iPhone 5.
