Its looking like Verizon Wireless is cracking AT&T hold on Apple iPhone sales statistics.
iPhone 4S appears to be luring away customers who have been using Android phones, Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt asserts in a research note.

Verizon reportedly has sold 2 million iPhones and its numbers are rising faster than AT&Ts numbers. Forbes magazine and other online portals are reports Blackberry and Android users are jumping ship to iPhone because they don't have to change provideers. Makes sense.
Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg says the company has told Apple that it wants to carry the iPhone. But he declined to say when — or even if — the popular smart phone will be available for Verizon Wireless customers. He did not confirm the reports or release information Tuesday.

This ads another piece to the iPhoneVerizon Puzzle. we have been hearing about Apple building a CDMA Phone before the thing even launched.
Lots of new rumors and information has come out since yesterdays Verizon iPhone News
According to some news sources the Verizon iPhone is going to happen, but we cant say we heard that direct from Apple. Plus denials from the two companies where reported as well.
We are Developing A iPhone For Other Carriers. That's what is being said. Nothing about a direct connect to the company.
This little tidbit of information from CNBC adds fuel to the hype fire for sure. When we first heard this we where hoping for the VZW Smartphone for Christmas, but that's iffy to say the least.
Apple has been known to surprise annalists before. Maybe it will happen in the summer of 2010. Apple may not have anything to do with whats happening. Who's to say Verizon wants the iPhone. It would be competing against Motorola Droid And Blackberry Storm sales. Android is out selling iPhone now. This should give Apple incentive the push out a more advanced phone than anyone expected.
We wont really know any real news until Steve Jobs takes the stage this summer to show us what hes been up to.
Anyone who knows anything about Apple and the iPhone knows they have something new every summer. The fact that they never go to trade shows, not even MacWorld leaves them to have there own launch times. So this probably will be more of a announcment this June some time.
This summer Apple really needs a good launch. Other phone manufacturers are nipping one the heals of iPhone. They need to spread out like Android is and go 4G.
According to the WSJ Apple has begun the process of test CDMA iPhones for Verizon Wireless. They say they have the inside info at the WSJ and we believe them.
"is developing a new iPhone to debut this summer and also appears to be working on a model for U.S. mobile phone operator Verizon Wireless, say people briefed on the matter."
They go on to say
"One person familiar with the situation said Pegatron is scheduled to start mass producing the CDMA iPhones in September, but it was unclear when Apple might make the model available.
Spokespeople for Apple, Pegatron, Hon Hai and Verizon Wireless, which is majority owned by Verizon Communications Inc., declined to comment." Source
