Bloomberg reports Verizon branded iPhone by January
Why, didn't Verizon come out the other day as we reported, and say it was concentrating on all things DROID and had no interest in the iPhone? This time, a well-respected news agency, Bloomberg, says that according to two people familiar with the plans, this January the nation's largest carrier will be offering the iPhone. UBS AG analyst John Hodulik said that Apple would greatly benefit from being able to offer the phone to other carriers. "The fact is, Apple is going to dramatically increase the number of devices it sells in the U.S. when exclusivity at AT&T ends,” said Hodulik,  “It’s hard to ignore the quality issues that AT&T has faced.” A Barclay's analyst says that a Q1 release of the iPhone for Verizon would bring 2011 sales of the device to at least 15 million units from a previous estimate of 11 million phones. Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam says that the carrier will be introducing some phones that will run on Verizon's LTE 4g network at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Will a LTE iPhone be amongst them? Despite denials by Apple, Verizon and AT&T, rumors of a Verizon branded iPhone continue to leak out-enough to make even the most cynical cellphone fan wonder if there is any truth to the stories.

Agreed. Verizon doesn't need the iphone AND did anyone else see the DROID X in the new verizon commercial today? It doesn't exactly say anything about the DROID X but it shows it-clearly! They're just building the hype for this phone which is going to be better than the iphone anyways.

this one actually made the tv news lines. god, i get so sick of these rumors. i totally agree, until there is a press release from Jobs, or an iphone "left in a bar" that runs on VZW, can we just stop posting this crap?

I am sick of these rumors, but to be honest, I would be thrilled if this happened. I would get it hands down in February, when I can get my upgrade. I hope this happens, but I always remember that this rumor has been going on for a while now, and it has been false every time. Hopefully this time will be different. And LTE? That would be sick.

I hope it's true and I would hands down not get it...

that would be amazing, iphone 4g...actually LITE....that would make verizon have like 110 million users..complete beast

WHY? why would anyone want this phone anymore, it has a major floor in it that the company is not even responding to except to tell you to hold the phone differently, its extremely fragile. its day has come and gone, verizon would most likely make this phone act better since at&t sucks, and the iphone in the past is a nice phone but too many good phones out there.

I heard this one before... I hope Verizon and other carriers get it but we'll see :

11. CHEFJEFF posted on 29 Jun 2010, 18:17

I'm so BORED with these rumors already. If it comes to Verizon fine. Verizon doesn't need the iPhone anyway. Besides, how will poor AT&T survive without it's flagship phone?
