Iphone coming to Verizon; who cares. It isnt better than Android.

Rumor has it that Verizon has this BIGFOOT sized announce they are making tomorrow and it involves the Iphone. Over the past year or so there have been talks about the possibility of Verizon carrying the Iphone and they always retracted the statement. This time it looks like it is true.

Now everyone that has Verizon is all excited because they finally get to have an Iphone. Truth be told, almost every phone that Verizon currently holds or will be getting in 2011 will be 10, maybe even 20, times better performance wise than the Iphone. I have asked a few people why they would get the Iphone if it were to come to Verizon and their response was, "Because it is an Iphone." o_0. I just shook my head. Getting an Iphone because it is an Iphone is the most idiotic reason anyone could give. I think if you are going to shell out close to 300 dollars for a new phone, you should have a better reason for purchasing it.

Many people fail to realize is that just like every other Apple product, everything has to revolve around Apple and their money hungry company. Unlike with Google and Android phones, you will not be able to have all of the freedom of making any kind of changes to your phone such as rooting, custom roms, adding video console emulators, etc UNLESS you do what they call JAIL BREAKING the phone. Jail breaking takes time, patience, and knowledge of the OS and most people that will purchase the Iphone will not know how to do it. Your phone will only be able to do what Apple wants it to do and I think that is a bunch of bull. If I pay a lot of money for a phone and I own it, I would like to customize it the way I want to without having to go deep into the OS of the phone and make changes. It shouldnt have to be that way. Another issue, the Iphone will never get Flash because Steve Jobs hates Adobe, so you will not be able to view a lot of websites on your phone. There will be no making customized ringtones or using any other music players other than Itunes. Apple wants to keep all of the money for themselves and not allow any third party developers to have any part in making anything for the phone. That leaves the phone to eventually become boring.

The upside to Verizon getting the Iphone is the phone will now be on CDMA and not GSM with a better carrier which means bad news to AT&T. Since AT&T already has beyond shitty service, many of their customers that hold the Iphone might decide to take their business to Verizon. Unless they are devoted customers (I dont know why).

Also, remember the antenna that is on the Iphone 4. You know the one that kept making the calls drop when you held your phone the proper way. Well they have fixed that on the phones that are coming to Verizon. Isnt it funny that they didnt want to fix the antenna on the AT&T phones?

I hope those of you who do go out and purchase an Iphone for Verizon will be satisfied. I have a feeling that some of those that get the phone without doing research on it will soon see how much of you will be on lock down with it.

Myself on the other hand will still have fun playing Super Mario World on my phone. For free and without jail breaking.

Peace & Love,
