Follow on Google News | The iPhone 4 on Verizon WirelessThe iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless will be available for pre-order by Verizon customers starting Thursday, February 3, 2011
The iPhone on AT&T has been exclusively distributed and marketed by AT&T and Apple from the beginning. Other than used iPhones sold through private sale, there has not been distribution beyond AT&T and Apple. Will Verizon be different? Will Apple support a wider network of marketers and distributors? Verizon customers will be able to pre-order the iPhone 4 on Feb. 3, new customers on Feb. 10, for $199 for a 16-gigabyte version, $299 for the 32 GB model. The version will include a "personal hotspot" feature allowing connection to five devices. The pre-order process can be done online but the delivery and activation must be done in a retail store along with waiting in line and the paperwork. As the talk about an iPhone 5 heats up, many current iPhone customers will wait to see the enhancements offered by the newest iPhone before jumping to Verizon. Meanwhile, for those who prefer Verizon's wider coverage within the 3G technology limits and those willing to fore go 4G at the moment, it appears sales for the Verizon iPhone 4 will be strong for some time. Of particular interest to those who might want to jump from AT&T to Verizon Wireless without incurring early termination fees there are some ways in which that can be done according to the website lifehackers.com. # # # MobileCentrix is the parent company of The Internet Cell Phone Store.
