And just like that, the Apple iPhone is available on Verizon.
Apple and Verizon announced earlier today that the iPhone was now going to be available to Verizon Wireless customers effective February 10th, 2011, thus ending AT&T’s exclusivity on one of the most popular smart-phones on the market. The nearly 100% growth in cell phones nearly killed AT&T’s network back in 2007. While it has improved over the past few years, many iPhone users continue to complain about coverage. But what will happen to Verizon’s wireless network once the millions of iPhone users jump ship from AT&T?

There have been rumors of an iPhone / Verizon partnership for over a year, so hopefully Verizon has used that time to bolster its own network in preparation for the exodus of disgruntled AT&T subscribers. Verizon has been offering iPad server for a while now, but the iPhone will bring millions of new users almost overnight.
This is good news for all iPhone users. If you love AT&T, your network will see less of a burden. If you have a stronger Verizon signal in your area, you can finally have the smart-phone you wanted now that the iPhone is available on Verizon. In fact, if you scurry to Verizon wireless right away you can pre-order your iPhone 4 16GB for $199.00 with the usual 2-year contract and additional data plan.
