For those Verizon customers who have patiently waiting for Apple to manufacture a CDMA based, Verizon model, looks like your wishes have been granted. "Apple Inc. plans to begin mass producing a new iPhone by the end of 2010 that would allow Verizon Wireless to sell the smartphone early next year." This Verizon, CDMA based phone will officially mark the deal of AT&T's exclusive contract with Apple, and will allow current AT&T customers to switch over to Verizon.
Personally, I think it's about time Apple realized that they could expand their customer base by having an iPhone compatible with the Verizon, CDMA network. When this happens, are you going to be one of the first to switch network providers, or will you stay loyal to AT&T in anticipation of the next generation of iPhones? Has AT&T truly created lock-in? What will this mean to AT&T and the future of it's relationship with Apple?
