They announced today that the 4G system is going to be up and running on Dec 5th. Plans start at $50/mo for 5GB. No phones until 2Q 2011 just modems for your laptop until then. Not going to wait around for an I-phone if it is going to be a 4G and cost me $50/mo. Gonna pick up a Droid and hope Delta upgrades I-crew to be more compatible.
Verizon iPad is really a WiFi iPad bundled with a Verizon MiFi hotspot.
Verizon iPhone will be a 3G iPhone in 2011. 4G/LTE still has issues and Apple is not going to want to deal with those issues since it is out of their control. There is still the rumor about a T-Mo iPhone in 2011.
Android users that want to access iCrew should get the latest beta of Firefox mobile. The scrolling issues on some screens exist. Personally I have only been able to workaround those scrolling issues because I have a real keyboard on my Droid2. The TAB key and down arrow key saves my butt in Firefox/iCrew quite often. Don't know if the new Droid Pro has any issues or not.
