A lot of the details being covered about the iPhone on Verizon are pretty boring in my opinion. Typical over-coverage of Apple news. The INTERESTING thing I think will be we can finally see how iPhone REALLY stacks up against Android. There has been much hoohaw over Android device growth and market share overtaking or not overtaking iPhone growth and market share in the US in the last few months. Clearly a large part of the Android market is simply the vacuum created by the iPhone not being available on the Verizon network and Verizon customers simply buying whatever the best smartphone on Verizon is available. With the iPhone being available to another 90 million (obviously only a certain percent of those customers are in the market for a iPhone/smartphone) people we will surely see cannibalization of Android/RIM on the Verizon network.
I’ll be very interested to see the smartphone breakdown numbers on Verizons network after the iPhone has been available for a quarter or two.
