I really hesitate to talk about the Verizon iPhone since you are probably sick of seeing it all over the place.  However, I cannot resist, so I will make it very brief.

Verizon has gotten the iPhone.  Learn about some of the predicted pro’s & con’s in a previous post.

If you are an existing Verizon Wireless customer and just couldn’t wait for your new iPhone, you could pre-order one today.  However, you had to be quick.  They were in such demand, Verizon sold out of the pre-order allotment within a few hours.

Is this a foreboding of things to come?  Will the sudden increase in demand and related data traffic cause Verizon’s system to become overwhelmed like AT&T’s?  Verizon claims that they are well prepared and able to handle this increase.  Although there is an unlimited data plan, they are even going to limit the top 5% of data users data rate for the current month and throttle it for the following month.  As a result, it is likely that if you are a heavy data user, you will probably max out around the same 2 GB as offered by AT&T for new customers.

However, if you are determined to get Verizon’s iPhone as soon as possible, do not fear.  Existing Verizon customers can get a phone on February 9th and others will be able to get their’s on February 10th.

To order from Apple and get more details on the differences and similarities between AT&T’s and Verizon’s versions, you can go to the Apple Site.
