Too open? your talking about the Iphone correct? If anything apple was too closed with not allowing VZW to put forth and troubleshoot the device and not to mention wanting a higher percentage of prophets for selling the device. (which is why VZW passed on it in the first place.)Not to mention VZW is currently selling an Open Sourced phone. I do agree however that nothing is certain when it comes to VZW getting an Iphone only that ATT Exclusive rights will be running out is the only thing thats certain.

One open platform doesn't all of a sudden make them open, it is a step in the right direction

The only certain thing about Verizon handsets is that they will almost all certainly be piles of garbage and have customers living in the tech line at their local VZW stores. That VZ Blackberry commercial with the "paperweight mode" comment was very ironic in that that's what most VZW phones end up becoming just a few months and 5 replacements later.

Ha! And the only certain thing on here is that you're obviously a douche.

Throwing in a multi-core processor ain't gonna cut it. The hardware is seriously dated at this point. As a Verizon customer, I'm not wasting my money on paying a premium for 3 year old hardware specs. If the new iphone doesn't have a larger display (maybe OLED), WVGA resolution, and at least a 5MP camera with flash, don't waste your time shoehorning a CDMA chipset in there, Apple. Oh yeah, don't forget to ditch your proprietary connector for a mini/micro USB one. Haha. Fat chance, right?

Yes hardware specs do have to be updated... I don't think the screen size is one that has to be done. Bigger screen = less batt life, so there is always a balancing act there. Better quality would be nice for sure but the 3.5-4 inch screens are what I suspect to be the limit (for me at least) for phones just due to devices being too big if any larger. So though it could be larger I wouldn't say screen size alone would drive my purchase decision if it was at least the current 3.5 inches...

I dunno, like dandirk stated, the screen size is perfect, if any bigger, it would kill the battery life and throw off the balance of the phone- it's really a perfect device design wise. I do agree w/ you on the proprietary connectors though, it would make everything easier if Apple did throw on a micro USB port, but I dunno if their proprietary setup has anything to do w/ the inner workings.

Apparently the Droid doesn't agree. It has a bigger screen with higher resolution and it's barely thicker than the iPhone WITH a hard keyboard, and its battery life is just fine.

The Droid uses an OLED screen though, and that makes a massive saving on battery life. OLED screens don't need as much power to function. I still can't believe they didn't put one in the 3GS...

Now lets see how many loyal att/apple customers are willing to switch to Verizon for the latest apple iPhone

I'm not a loyal anything. I just buy what I think is the beat device. You can add the iPhone to your collection of phones when it comes to Verizon. You should buy two.

Why say something like that and sound ignorant? The Droid doesn't "suck" and neither does the iPhone. They are both very good phones that have different advantages over the other. Saying the Droid "sucks" makes you sound like another mindless douchey fanboy lemming. As for your dismissal of the benefits of multi-tasking, you are clearly the kind of person who would be shouting from the mountaintops how great multi-tasking is i the iPhone could do it. Try thinking for yourself sometime, it would be a nice change of pace for you.

What Hova said was unneccessary, but what about vzwman? I guess it's okay to post "drooiiid" on an iPhone page and it also doesn't sound like "another mindless douchey fanboy lemming."
