"It was unclear how soon that version would be available to Verizon or other carriers."
"At a press conference Wednesday, Verizon Communications Inc. President Lowell McAdam declined to comment on whether his company would soon sell an iPhone. "At some point our business interests are going to align," he said, referring to Apple. "I fully expect it, but I don't have anything to say.""
"A spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment."
"John Donovan, AT&T's chief technology officer, wouldn't comment on whether AT&T is losing exclusivity next year but said iPhone buyers would have reason to chose his network over Verizon's. AT&T's network lets users browse the Web while making calls, while Verizon's can't, he said."
"Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip set for the new iPhone, according to a person familiar with the matter. A spokeswoman for Qualcomm declined to comment."
My dad is waiting for the iPhone. He likes Verizon's network and he's even said the phone will have a bigger screen than the current 3.5" one. I have not heard about the phone having a larger screen.
