I have had a cell phone for almost 12 years now (since 1995 if I remember right), same number and same company more or less (Airtouch, Cellular One, were gobbled up by Verizon). I have always been reasonably happy with Verizon's coverage and the Network although I don't really care for the pricing (Data plan is ridiculous) and I hate NOT having roll over minutes.
That said, sure I would love for the iPhone to come to verizon BUT I am hedging my bet that Apple makes a Phoneless iPhone that will be the next version of the iPod.
I have a Treo 650 and it CAN play music, surf the web and do the ring tone thing BUT basically ALL I WANT TO DO with my phone is easily find a contact & call or text message them.
IF I want to play music, it will be on my one of my THREE ipods not, my phone.
Look at the first iTunes phone - the SLVR, Apple and Cingular did that one time (no version 2) and moved on. I believe that the innards of the SLVR became the clip on iPod shuffle.
Yes the iPhone is tempting BUT i am waiting for the iPod version without the Phone. Hopefully my wish will come true by Macworld 2008
EDIT: As far as Verizon's answer to the iPhone, it probably won't be Mac compatible out of the box so UNLESS the cut a deal with the Missing Sync to bundle a mac compatible version of the software, I think I will still wait for my phoneless iPod
