iPhone Not Going To Verizon....At Least Not Anytime Soon

People who were expecting a Verizon iPhone 4G release date this year at the WWDC 2010, are still recovering from the news that Verizon spokesperson has denied any immediate plans of releasing a Verizon iPhone with Apple. So now the hopes are that Apple will announce iPhone 4G release date at WWDC but it will not be a Verizon iPhone and most likely will be continued to be on AT&T's network.AT&T, one of US’ biggest carriers triggered heavy debate when it announced its new plans for smartphone users and ended the option of unlimited data plan for new subscribers. AT&T unveiled two plans: 200MB of data at $15 per month or 2GB at $25 per month. The carrier said that the $15 plan gives access to 200MB of data, which is enough to send and receive 1,000 e-mails without attachments and 150 e-mails with attachments. It will also allow the users to view 400 Web pages, post 50 photos and watch 20 minutes of streaming video.If the users will go over the 200MB data limit, then they will have to pay $15 for 200MB or $10 dollars for 1GB of data. AT&T will also offer a tethering option, which will allow the user to turn iPhone into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, later this summer. The facility will come for an extra $20. Notably, Apple had added tethering functionality to the iPhone OS last year. Commenting on AT&T's new data plans, which are set to come into effect from June 7, PCWorld Editor Ed Albro said, “AT&T's new tiered data plan would have saved him $75 over the past seven months.” Meanwhile, RWolfShipon is seriously unhappy with AT&T's new policy, "I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. False advertising. A bait-and-switch. Steve Jobs should never have promised us an unlimited plan only for AT&T to change the game a month after the iPad 3G was released," wrote RWolfshipon.At Mobile Crunch, Nicholas Deleon thanked AT&T for lifting "the burden of unlimited data plans for smartphones." But, Daring Fireball blogger John Gruber was not satisfied with AT&T's tethering plan. He said that the company was charging its customers for nothing. "It's one thing to charge extra for tethering on an "unlimited" data plan, but it's outrageous to charge $20 when the bandwidth is already capped," Gruber wrote
