I just spoke with a local small business that I do some consulting with. They have been debating on whether to go with Blackberry or Windows Mobile for their staff. The staff has been interested in iPhones, but the company currently uses Verizon, which they would need to cancel the contract on in order to go with iPhones.
Today, I got a call from them. In that call, he told me that their Verizon rep said that they would have iPhones available tomorrow (11/20/2007), and the price for his business was $250 per phone. He was as shocked as I was that the Verizon rep said they were getting the iPhone.
I have no direct proof on the validity of this info, as I do not work for Verizon. But I do know the information was given to them from their Verizon representative. Could this really happen? I thought Apple and AT&T were tied at the hip on the iPhone right now. The$250 price tag would be awesome.
Anyway, thought I would pass it along.

Update:
It’s the 20th! Oh look, no new iPhone on Verizon, as expected. Turns out the Verizon reps are being a little bit shady with customers, and they are trying to sell their new iPhone competitor, which did launch today. It’s called the Voyager…..
