Verizon users finally get the iPhone!

So the news of the Verizon iPhone is probably what everyone will be talking about today. It seems that they are confident that their network can hold up to the abuse of thousands of people jumping ship from AT&T to Verizon. We all know that iPhone users are heavy abusers of bandwidth, but Verizon has been touting for months now that their network can handle extremely heavy use. It will be interesting to see what Verizon will be saying after a few months of these data hungry, 3g abusing, tethering-loving have their way with the network.

The free tethering and unlimited data make me want to switch right now, but I'm going to wait and see what AT&T does to compete with Verizon and try to retain some of their customer base. I'm hoping they bring back the Unlimited Data plan or at least lower some plan prices.

I also found this link if people are interesting in switching their phone providers but don't want to pay the early termination fee. Enjoy!
