I once read a rumor that Apple went to Verizon Wireless to be the home of the first iPhone and that Verizon turned them away. Regardless of the successes and failures with Android, webOS, Windows mobile/phone, BlackBerry…I can only assume VZW has been kicking themself for a long time now.

Too bad it’s not LTE though. This thing is going to be missing out on a ton of “standard” features found on the AT&T version like simultaneous voice+data. I’ll bet the features found in settings (like call forward and caller ID) will be out too.

Hotspot service is a nice touch. I know the jailbreakers have had this for some time now. Would be nice to see AT&T adopt this feature.
