a fair question
if Apple is no longer getting juice from AT&T, why be exclusive? If I could get this thing without turning my back on Verizon, which I know and love, I would be very happy.

Apple signed a 5 year exclusivity deal with AT&T because they agreed to give up a lot of control, above and beyond the monetary kickback, that other carriers wouldn't. Even if it wasn't exclusive, Verizon doesn't use SIM cards and the iPhone is built on SIM card network access. I think Verizon is the only carrier not using SIMs - maybe Sprint too.

that would explain my inability to locate a sim card on either phone!
a&t it is, can't wait!
