Of course, it may not seem like the best thing for you, individually. You almost certainly want the best smart phone (arguably Apple’s iPhone) on the best U.S. network (Verizon’s) – not the best smart phone on a so-so network or a so-so smart phone on the most excellent network.
On postings all over the Web, you can read the groans over Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg’s admission last week that nothing is in the works to bring the iPhone to Verizon in the anticipated future. iPhone users are stuck with AT&T (T).
Verizon and Sprint (S) have been shut out of the iPhone, they’ve had to look for options to keep its most demanding, highest-revenue customers from migrating over to AT&T.
Android phones are now pretty darn good.
Still, Apple (AAPL) has driven iPhone development hard, memory, improving speed, software, reception – all while driving the price forcefully downward.
The situation has pushed RIM’s Blackberry and H-P’s Palm to improve quickly or risk being driven out of the market.
Eventually, the iPhone will no doubt wind up on Verizon. But, hopefully not for another year or so. Let the competitive market do a little more work to make the phones and networks better. We’ll all benefit.
