[QUOTE="Ned Ward, post: 15848, member: 100"] Re: iPhone 4 is on Verizon!!! ATT has focused their service where the population is in the US so that over 75% of the US population has 3G access and 96% are covered by the slower EDGE. In markets like where you pointed out, there ain't a lot of people, so looks like Verizon is the choice if you're in that neck of the woods that often. On the current iPad, the only service you can't use is verizon (without their MiFi); anything else you can get your sim card in it (easy instructions online on how to cut it) so that it doesn't have to be ATT; there are other options. If you buy the Verizon iPad, you won't have options as there won't be a SIM slot since it will be CDMA.
