Don't get your hopes up. When Verizon plans to bring something over it takes forever...with the Droid it seems like I just heard about it a few weeks ago and it is already out. The Omnia 2 has been out in the EU market for some time, and has been lurking around verizons desk for a few months yet we wont see it until possibly next year...:hs:

I think Verizon has some nice phones to choose from especially now that the droid is out.

But we shall see. I think even if the iPhone comes to VZ I still probably wouldn't get it.

i really dont see verizon getting the iphone anytime soon

it would make more sense if apple opened up other carriers to pick another gsm network first. but if it does happen it wont till late next year and even then my current phone would be useless as verizon is cdma

No love for the iPhone? Or just don't like Apple?

How does $90 become $105? I know taxes and shit add like 4-5 bucks but where is that extra $10?

no same exact plan as Draco.

I dunno how it works, but my "phone" bill is like 95, but somehow after ATT gets a hold of my bill its 117 dollars a month like clockwork.

im kind of in the same boat, although a step down, i dont want any data at all
i want a 2 line family plan with lowest minutes possible, small text, no data, 2 qwerty phones, cheap as possible

att wont give me good discounts and is fighting me on keeping my $60 family plan, wont give me free phones, just being a bitch in general even though we are out of contract and ready to upgrade

i hate vzw with a passion, they used to cripple their phones and force their shitty ui onto them all, but i would switch if i could find something cheaper

why doesnt anyone make good non smart phones anymore, also i can get all the $500 smart phones for cheap with a new contract, but dont want a data plan, but they barely discount the non smart phones at all, fuckers

also i imagine the iphone will be on vzw next year some time, the canadian cdma is getting iphone, and there are rumors of 4g iphone already being tested with vzw

Somehow, with verizon, I get data charges of $5 here and $9 there, even though I NEVER use data. It's crazy. It's like they just pull a random number out of their butts and slap it on to a bill.
