Verizon iPhone eludes fans, 50% iPhone users feel cheated

Verizon iPhone eludes fans, 50% iPhone users feel cheated. Verizon iPhone may come soon. However, it is difficult to give the exact date when the most-talked about Apple gadget will land on Verizon Wireless, the emerging phone carrier in the US.

The buzz in the industry is that Apple and Verizon are in talks to iron out their differences so that a CDMA iPhone capable of simultaneous voice and data may hit the market. This has been confirmed by a well-known Wall Street analyst.

Shaw Wu with Kaufman Bros was the first analyst in the industry, who is sure about this deal. He said he expects Apple to expand the iPhone to another carrier in the U.S. next year. Market analysts say Apple is doing so to maintain high growth, as the company's smartphone nears saturation on the AT&T network.

If we believe Wu then he is predicting that iPhone will come to Verizon as late as 2012. This may only happen if Apple doesn’t go with both T-Mobile and Sprint.

Wu said: "It is notable that signing up both T-Mobile USA and Sprint would almost be the equivalent of Verizon (in terms of subscribers). For point of reference, AT&T has 90 million wireless subscribers compared to 93 million at Verizon, 48 million at Sprint, and 34 million at T-Mobile USA."

Wu further wrote: "From AAPL's perspective, the debate is whether it makes sense to roll out an interim CDMA iPhone sometime in 2011 or perhaps wait until LTE becomes more available in 2012."
