iPhone coming to Verizon

Looks like it may actually happen this time. Rumors have been buzzing around the 'Net ever since the iPhone's introduction... but this year could be the year.

Though Verizon famously turned down the original iPhone before Apple ultimately signed a deal with AT&T, the company’s outspoken CEO — Ivan Seidenberg — has been very careful over the past couple years to note that he’d love to eventually have an iPhone in his lineup. With Verizon Wireless boss Lowell McAdam tapped to take over the top job next year, what’d be a better swan song for Seidenberg than to finally pull it off? Fortune’s new profile of the longstanding chief exec and elder statesman is reporting in very matter-of-fact terms that a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 will be a reality on Verizon in “early 2011,” lining up with most of the rumors the interwebs has been generating over the past few months.

Would you buy a Verizon iPhone? Or if you're an AT&T user, would you jump ship to Big Red?
