Since the iPhone came out, the only cellular service that is compatible with it is AT&T. Well, many of us wouldn’t either benefit from the service (not available in our area) or just plain don’t want AT&T (’cause I surely don’t). I don’t care of the iPhone was the biggest gadget to come out in the last five years. It itself was pricey and in its early year, wasn’t much of an actual phone.

But, we know technology improves, and for the most part, today’s people don’t really use the phone all that much anymore (I hate phones). You got the text messaging, video streams, music downloads, the twitter thing the crazy kids are doing these days now, and if a cell phone doesn’t have much of any of these modern features, it’s not a phone worth having.

Now, the largest cell phone carrier, may be the next company to have the iPhone ready for their service (happy Verizon customer here). Verizon and Apple are in talks about it, but it won’t be soon, (as AT&T has exclusivity through 2010, but are looking to extend it), any kind of major talks between two huge companies take time, it may be a good possibility. With AT&T already carrying it and Verizon on board in the future, that means majority of cell phone subscribers have the chance to own a iPhone, if they choose to buy one.

Now, me being a Verizon customer, would I jump on board the iPhone train should this happen? Hmmm, I’m a little sketchy on it, as I’m not overly fond of touch screen gadgets (fingerprints, hello!), and my outdated enV works great for me, as I am a fan of QWERTY keyboards built in, but maybe in the one-two years, maybe my mind could change on it. And as long as my enV (very solid phone) works, I have no reason to upgrade, nor would I be interested in paying a few hundred bucks for one (current price for an iPhone from AT&T is 299.99 for the 16GB model, 199.99 for the 8GB one, with standard 2-yr contract).
