Smartphones, tablets, and more coming to Verizon 4G network

I am too small a business for a smartphone when looking at the cost vs. the benefit aspect and I am a Verizon customer. Besides living in a small city which has more cows than people in the county and with only Rochester, NY at this point, to be a 4G area, there is no point to consider it. Some friends of mine living only 16 miles south of me, cannot even get Verizon's phone line or DSL for their computer. Why, because no lines go to their road! In my humble opinion, Verizon should think about people's basic needs, too.

Having seen what Verizon did to a Droid,, (IE: -Changing the interface to Verizon specifications. -Removing Key application support.) I don't know that I would be happy with a Verizon iPhone.
I am SURE that it would not lock/act/perform like a current iPhone. Verizon has a bad case of EGO, which would cripple the iPhone.
I think that SPRINT is the more likely CDMA target. They are desperate enough to drink whatever kool-aid that Apple sets before them.............
(and that is a good thing!!)
