LOL! Not a huge suprise to anyone who works at any level of the industry. Verizon demands phone manufacturers replace thier software with Verizon's front end, and they use CDMA which isn't very common compared to GSM. Still, you'd think the only company who DARES to question the wisdom of the allmighty M would still realize that carrying an Apple product is worth eating a slice of humble pie.
