Verizon is supposed to make a big announcement this morning around 11:00. It's expected to be the announcement that makes that official. Before you go run out and buy it, I'd wait. Second quarter is always a big quarter for new phone releases. Wait and see what comes out first.

One thing I've learned from 10 years in the industry is that nothing is official until a carrier makes an announcement.

I don't think they are anything special. I think its funny that some people buy it just because it's an I-Phone. I actually know people who don't even wait for the upgrade and pay full price on it. At this point all smart phones are just as good. On the other hand if you are use to Mac's and don't use PC's the the I-Phone might be better for you I guess.

Ill prolly dump the new Droid x and get one. It wouldn't be right if I didn't replace my phone every 3 months. I love corporate accounts.

Love the Droid x. hell you cant even remove the battery from the iphone. apple will not replace a battery for free. you have to send the phone in to apple and then pay to have them replace it. and you do not get your iphone back. This is what I was told when I called on an iphone here at work. the phone was only 3 months old. I will never spend my money on these peices of crap.

They will fix any battery problems at the Apple store, and if they cant fix it there they will replace your phone.

Never ever had problems with the battery. Had every one since they came out. Absolutely love them. Only downside??? Apple controls the apps. Where other smartphones don't.

Unless you jailbreak it.....

Gonna stick to the Droid X, gotta wait at least year and half before I get an upgrade allowance from Verizon. This thing already does 10X what I need it to do and I need more money to pay for cigars.

I would be careful jumping at the iPhone the minute it comes out, especially if it is not "4G Capable". No doubt in my mind there will be an updated version out later this year. You are never going to not end up seeing a newer/better version come out after you get a phone, but no reason to buy at the tail end of a version.

And here's the link to the live blog on the announcement. As I guessed, not 4G ready.

2/10/11 is the general order date. $200 for 16G and $300 for 32G. Looks like Verizion is going to allow the tethering thing, wonder if they'll charge for it like AT&T does.

I'm hoping everyone jumps ship to Verizon!
:rofl: To free up some of the AT&T network??? According to today's WSJ ATT has a majority of their iphone users still under contract.:cryloud:

If it was 3 months old you probably have a software issue, not hardware. Rarely do batteries go bad in under a year.
