Verizon iPhone Not Definite as T-Mobile and Sprint Are Option

As one analyst adds to the choir of Verizon iPhone predictions, a new theory is taking shape: Apple's coveted smartphone could come to Sprint or T-Mobile first.

Wu wouldn't rule out the possibility of Sprint or T-Mobile getting the iPhone instead of, or in addition to, Verizon.

Murmurs of a Sprint or T-Mobile iPhone have been heard before. A CDMA iPhone is starting to seem like a foregone conclusion, and if Verizon drops the ball, Sprint is there.

So what's the problem with Verizon? As Wu points out, the iPhone costs more for AT&T compared with Android and BlackBerry phones for Verizon, and Apple probably wants Verizon to pay a similar price.

Although Verizon could offer 93 million potential iPhone subscribers if everyone took up the iPhone 4, if Apple goes with Sprint who have 48 million and T-Mobile who have 34 million, their join subscribers could be 82 million which would expand the iPhone subscriber base extensively.

So what do our readers think, will Verizon get the iPhone first as expected or will Apple go with T-Mobile and Sprint first,.
