Verizon iPhone 5

Friend if mine who is a contractor for verizon has confirmed release of an iPhone 5 exclusive to verizon only. He has built 87 LTE 4g towers already which are prepped for the new verizon iPhone which is due to release in early 2011. Apparently verizon is very serious about the iPhone and they are implementing the LTE technology for the iPhone at this point the droid will
Become open and AT&T is looking to purchase rights for the droid.

can we please stop this shit already?

everyone in the fucking world has a friend of a friend, who knows for certain that the iphone is coming out on a certain date. Unless he has some actual proof of when the phone is coming out, can we please stop this? LTE towers have nothing directly to do with the iphone... it's just the towers for the next gen signal.
Apple going on Verizon is completely on Apple, and has nothing to do with how aggressively Verizon might be pursuing it and its technology.

(sorry no offense meant to you OP )

lol not only AT&T but do you think apple wants to only sell to one carrier again? They wanna be able to sell to as many service providers as they can, right now t-mobile is the one thats the easiest to do, since they both use HSPA, only t-mobile uses a diff frequency, so not much needs to change from the current design

a) They would need a completely new and completely redesigned iphone to release on verizon.

b) Word on the street is verizon doesn't want it. They like controlling their own software and they think its to similar to the droid, which they hope surpasses the iphone.

With someone with a join date as early as yours, I'm disappointed at how hard you're failing.
