Verizon iPhone
Something, that will never exist no matter how many hours a day Verizon wireless users spend blogging, whineing, and trolling the "Verizon Forums" and "Apple Discussions."
Reason 1: You can't just Jailbreak, unlock, and activate an iPhone on Verizon Wireless is because The iPhone uses GSM Technology, T-Mobile, and AT&T are the mobile carriers that use GSM in the United States. Verizon, Sprint, Criket, and most other carriers all use inferior CDMA technology. The iPhones hardware CANNOT run on a CDMA network, no matter what you do to it.
Reason 2: If Apple were to build a Verizon iPhone they would have to completelly re-write the mobile networking section of iOS to use the CDMA technology.
In the end: If there ever was a CDMA iPhone in existance, it was probably a first-generation prototype, that was built in 2005 before Apple had selcted an official carrier to sell the iPhone. If you were able to get a hold of this prototype (If it wasn't either destroyed or burried in Steve Jobs's basement), Apple would sue you faster than they sued the guy who found the iPhone 4 prototype earlier this year.
