IPhone is under wraps between the well liked cell phone service, Verizon, and Apple rival Microsoft. Microsoft plans to work on the hardware and software for the phone while having a third party business manufacture the actual device. The phone is set to be released in early 2010 and is being called a code name project “Pink”.
I personally love both Microsoft and Verizon so would consider buying the combo device. The inertia of changing cell phone providers is great too and I already have a plan set up for a Verizon cell phone.
