Re: No Wi-Fi????

Well Verizon is the one that passed on the iPhone. They had the chance to be the exclusive seller of it, but passed.

Really? I did not know that. The telecommunication companies really are run by complete and utter morons, aren't they?

Actually, the main reason that Verizon passed on the iPhone is because of the amount of control that Apple wanted over the handset. For example, requiring the phone to be sent back to Apple for a battery replacement. Verizon wasn't willing to do that to their customers.

But in Hindsight, after the massive numbers of people that the iPhone brought to At&T, I would think Verizon would have made the changes if they had it to do over again.
