When will the Verizon iPhone ship?

[Rene Ritchie]

Looks like the Verizon iPhone will finally be announced this Tuesday, January 11, 2011... but when will it ship? Give us your vote in the poll and tell us why in the comments!

i say around Feb 1st, to go along with the rumors of three weeks.

 

[jdavis530]

Im going to agree with around Feb 1 also.

Big push to release right before the SuperBowl and barrage us with Verizon iPhone commercials.

I vote for around 2/1. I have been waiting for this phone on Verizon for 4 years (and 2 days ) now. And my b-day is 2/2, so this is Apple and Verizon thanking me for my years of loyalty!

I hope it will be sooner, I could use my 30 day grace period. But I have feeling it won't be until the 1st of Feb. before it hits the stores.

It will be on or after Feb. 1st. This way all the people who activated their new phones they got as presents after Christmas won't all come in to exchange for an iPhone. This will make everyone have to decide before the iPhone is available, if they want to exchange their new phone.

My brain says Feb 1st.. my heart says in June simply because I find it odd VZW would get an iPhone 4 when its already been out for so long and disrupts Apple's timely cycle of products.

My guess is the week of Feb 1st, goes along with the rumors of Apple blocking the vacation time during that week.

My guess is this.

I agree with the first week in feb but i wish they would just say avaliable tomorrow. That would be music to my ears.

From the Announcement:

Pre-orders for existing custos begingin Feb 3 - others Feb 10th

is that a ship date? pick-up date?

 

[kch50428]

I believe Feb 10 is the in-store date.

 

[56K]

So if i pre-order, will i get it the next day? or must i wait till the 10th.

 

[kch50428]

I'm still trying to figure that one out myself...

Revised to add: From the Press Release...

iPhone 4 will be available on the Verizon Wireless network beginning Thursday, February 10 for a suggested retail price of $199.99 for the 16GB model and $299.99 for the 32GB model with a new two year customer agreement. iPhone 4 will be available at more than 2,000 Verizon Wireless Communications Stores nationwide, online at https://forums.imore.com/e?link=htt...ss-devices/smartphones/iphone/&token=VFXejXol, at Apple Retail Stores, at the Apple Store? (Apple), at Apple Authorized Resellers, and by calling 1-800-2 JOIN IN.

I'm guessing pre-orders will ship so as to arrive to the end users on Feb 10.

Correct, and to offer another thought Feb 1st to me seems more likely an ipad2 launch see how it was first announced Jan 27th 2010. So the first week in Feb seem to me at least, more fitting for the ipad.

I think it will be on or just after February 1st. I can hardly wait.
