Many readers are submitting coverage from around the Net, all based on a Bloomberg piece quoting two anonymous sources who insist that Verizon Wireless will offer a CDMA iPhone in January 2011. No one at Verizon or Apple would confirm, of course, and no one at AT&T would comment. "The iPhone, which has been the sole domain of rival AT&T in the US since June 2007, will give Verizon a boost in its competition for smartphone customers, UBS AG analyst John Hodulik said in an interview. Verizon customers, who numbered 92.8 million at the end of the first quarter, may buy 3 million iPhones a quarter, he estimates. ... 'Apple is going to dramatically increase the number of devices it sells in the US when exclusivity at AT&T ends,' said Hodulik. ... 'It's hard to ignore the quality issues that AT&T has faced.'"

1. I'll believe it when i see it. Still pretty skepti that Apple will make a CDMA phone.
2. Does anyone really think that Verizon's infrastructure is so far better than AT&T's that it won't have the same problems AT&T is having now? I mean, don't get me wrong - I hate AT&T as much as the next iPhone user - I just don't expect much more from Verizon.
