I personally don't care. If the iphone was on the shelves today, I would not buy one...with a physical key board it's just not appealing to me. Can't wait to walk into the Verizon store and get me a Curve tho...i don't want to order online. ๐Ÿ™‚

That was out of line. I think it is important to point out that Vodaphone is a GSM carrier. The average cell phone user doesn't really know the difference between GSM and CDMA. All they see is a company that owns VZW is getting the iPhone. Not hard to make an uneducated leap that it MIGHT mean something for VZW customers if you didn't know better.

If he has nothing better to do that troll all day in forums what does that say about you? That you have no...

well you're obiviously new or you'd realize why he posted that... read some other AveJoe threads and try to tell someone he doesn't know the difference between GSM/CDMA. Way to be on the rescue... you must have a lot of friends

I have a lot of friends. I just don't really count posters in silly web blogs among them. I've had my clashes with AveJoe as well, and have no love for the guy. He's an AT&T user and thinks the N95 was God's gift to the planet. I have no idea what he's posted in the past here but that seemed a harmless post to point out that Vodaphone is a GSM carrier and not to get hopes of an iPhone release on VZW. If I failed to read more into that then so be it.

As far as the whole "troll" thing goes, do you really think anyone cares if you name call? Your VZW Fanboys!! There, does that hurt??? Sticks and stones. I browse all the forums but since I manage user accounts on VZW, AT&T, and used to with Sprint, I can go where I like and post what I like...

do you want a cookie of something? I mean seriously.. AveJoe's point was that verizon wasn't going to be getting a GSM phone and all someone did was point out that Vodaphone was perhaps getting (a GSM carrier). I don't understand why you have a problem with that at all...

if you read the posts I was responding to the comments made about me being a troll, defender, and the sarcastic comment made about how I must have a lot of friends. All that because I thought it was out of line to jump AveJoe for pointing out that Vodaphone's getting the iPhone wasn't going to affect VZW users.

The hatefulness of you guys is amazing. Don't feel sorry for me. You want something to be sad about, go look in a mirror.

Actually, they are. Verizon Wireless isn't a publicly traded compnay, so we don't have shareholders. Verizon Communications DOES have a priority stake ( 55% I think).
From the VZW website:
Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., Verizon Wireless has the largest number of retail customers in the industry and is the most profitable wireless company in the U.S. The company is a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

..and those shareholders are VZ Communications and Vodaphone. All incorporated companies have shareholders. When my business incorporated, as one of the three primaries, we 'divvied' up the shares to 1/3 each. So VZC and Vodaphone are those shareholders which kind of puts this sub thread tangent in to a circle so I'd suggest that to both that it be called a draw and move forward.
