Will iPhone be available on Verizon next year?

Brian Marshall seems to think so. In this clip from Bloomberg, Brian talks about the exclusive agreement with AT&T ending in "June of 2010." The big question for me is, what does this mean for the consumer base? If you could get the iPhone on any network, which one would you choose? In Australia there is no exclusive carrier. So consumers are free to pick which carrier has the best pricing and coverage, rather than looking at who carries the phone they desire. In addition to the discussion about iPhone, it was great to here about Apple's successes on the computer space. As an Apple fan, I am excited to hear about their 5% market share growing. Looks like the only place to go from here is up.

New Verizon Campaign goes after iPhone.

Will android surpase iPhone as the mobile phone operating system of choice by 2012? I guess we will just have to wait and see.  However, you gotta love it when a company, even if it is Verizon, goes right after the top spot.

Blackberry Storm 2 (9550?) Hardware Look.

Here is a video of the Storm 2 from Blackberry. Now I am certainly not a genius but as I remember most CDMA Blackberry models end "30". For instance the "9630" and "8830". He seems to be right on for the GSM version since most of those do end in "20". As with everything we will have to wait to see what actually comes to market for RIM.

Weekly Funny: Verizon Math Mix Up

Please don't tell me that this never happens at Verizon, because here is proof. Customer service is only as good as the single person (and maybe his manager) that you are listening to.

If you still don't get it, here is the math:

With 100 cents in a US Dollar ¢.002/kb over = $.00002/kb over, so 35986kb * .00002 = $.7192 or ¢73 if you round up. They charged him $71.92.

The crazy thing is, even though the person didn't know enough math to explain it properly, the billed amount was still correct at $2/mb or $.002/kb.
