What is it?

Its basically Scrabble or Words with Friends if you have an iPhone.

My upgrade is available in February as well, but I'm gonna wait until the new HTC Thunderbolt strikes. Hopefully it won't be too long, but all Verizon has said is first half of 2011.

Bond I highly suggest you check out the Android platform for your upgrade.

I <3 My droid more than anything and I was a huge iPhone supporter.

Also I just love how the iPhone will probably turn my Lovable Verizon network into shit since people who have iPhones can't stop touching them on the internet.

It was probably political. Imagine Jobs walking on stage and saying, "We have a big announcement. The iPhone is available on Verizon and now you have a choice of carriers. Isn't that great?" AT&T would throw a fit over Jobs implicitly taking a dump on their network (even if it's deserved).

As for me, I'm due for an upgrade, but I'm waiting until June when Verizon rolls out the LTE network and (probably) the iPhone 5 launches. As it is right now, the Verizon iPhone won't be able to do voice and data at the same time. And I like being able to email people or check movie times while on the phone. Hopefully that will be fixed in 6 months or so. I really think Verizon jumped the gun on this one.

I think Verizon will merge with AT&T within a few years. AT&T is going to lose a TON of business, and Verizon will need the network to accommodate their new customers. With Sprint and smaller providers available, there shouldn't be any anti-trust issues.

While I'm envious of the coverage and new speed that could provide, such a huge corporation in this industry scares me in terms of net neutrality. :\ ATT is already trying to destroy it.

Earl, I have wordfeud. My username is the same as my aim screen name.

I also agree with manasecret on the control on the open platform. This is what I hate about apple products in general. My droid 2 is great, so I too would recommend anyone to look into android based phones as well.
