Anyone who has suffered through the constant dropped calls with every iteration of the iPhone on AT&T’s craptastic network will appreciate the “credible” reports from Bloomberg that the iPhone will arrive on Verizon in January of next year.
Bloomberg isn’t exactly a rumor-filled gadget blog, the likes of which pass along such speculation on an almost daily basis. Reading Bloomberg’s report suggests that they’ve got the skinny on the Verizon iPhone news from someone within the big V. However, “credible” sources at major publications have been wrong on this story before.
I, for one, have been nothing short of militant toward AT&T’s crumbling network. Honestly, I don’t talk on the phone that much. But when I do, I want to actually be able to talk on the phone. This is a challenge that AT&T, Luke Wilson and the “nation’s fastest 3G network” don’t quite seem to be capable of overcoming.
I had planned on bailing to Verizon for an Android phone when my contract is up in a couple of months; however, AT&T may suck a few more months of fees out of me with this report, as I wait to see what Verizon’s CDMA iPhone will look like in half a year.
No wonder AT&T offered everyone with contracts expiring in 2010 the ability to upgrade now to the iPhone 4.
