Comments on: Apple looking to bring iPhone 3G to Verizon Wireless?! http://www.intomobile.com/2009/02/23/apple-looking-to-bring-iphone-3g-to-verizon-wireless.html Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:05:46 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Buzzwriter http://www.intomobile.com/2009/02/23/apple-looking-to-bring-iphone-3g-to-verizon-wireless.html/comment-page-1/#comment-354983 Buzzwriter Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:22:01 +0000 http://www.intomobile.com/?p=40689#comment-354983 While you stated things a bit more graphically than I would, many of us share your wish for a sync solution. The Blackberry Desktop for Mac page says that a version of Desktop for Mac will be arriving in September. Still says it, this 27th day of September. Tick-Tock, RIM & Apple folks! Tick - Tock. FYI, I downloaded and attempted to sync PocketMac - but it failed. After reading user comments, I am very thankful. With all the other challenges in our lives, I don't need my calendar/contacts/etc. corrupted beyond repair. Based on comments from others on existing sync options, I don't think I want to be first at bat with ANY new software but the sooner Blackberry Desktop for Mac is released the sooner that those more daring than I can test the waters and see if it's safe for us less-technically-inclined to jump in.

Until I need to sync ANY of my stupid ass Blackberry phones to ANY of my Macs! I have been calling Verizon for about 6 months SOLID, having to replace phones, re-download/ install PocketMac for Blackberry-- WHICH SUCKS DONKEY DICKS & NEVER WORKS, or replace/ repair my hard drives after the damn Blackberry program messes something up! I agree-- Apple AND Verizon need to get their heads out of their asses and just start thinking about customer satisfaction! I would rather choke on my own vomit WHILE setting MYSELF ablaze... that become an AT&T/ Cingular/ T-Mobile/ Sprint customer!!! ALL of those companies suck ass & NEVER work properly!

Apple and AT&T originally signed a 5 year agreement (until 2012), but when Apple released the iPhone 3G, they only extened the contract untill 2010. I am not sure how or why AT&T agreed to this, although i like it since i am a happy verizon wireless customer. I would love to have the iPhone, but i am reluctant to switch to AT&T due to the lack of coverage in my area. I have heard multiple rumors about it, this being one of the recent. I feel that Apple will release a CDMA version of the iPhone on Verizon and maybe even Sprint's networks, especially if Apple plans to keep up with all of the other smartphone companies like Blackberry, Palm, or Android. Either way, i feel an iPhone will probably be released at WWDC '09, but i want everyone to know that i am not just saying this becasue i am a jealous verizon customer who wants the iPhone. I would not be talking about this if i hadnt been exposed to some inside info. (Which i was. i am just not supposed to mention my source! ;-) Just to tell you, Russ.

If the iPhone came to Verizon I would buy a couple in a heartbeat. I will be taking my business somewhere else if Big Red does not come out with some cool phones this year. Storm Sucks!

Doesn't AT&T own the rights to sell the iPhone in the USA for 5 years at least? Why would AT&T ever allow a competitor with a much larger 3G network to offer the same device that has been helping them add new customers? Apple customers are so brainwashed that it wouldn't matter what network the iPhone was on, they would switch. This won't happen.
