Forget any plans you had of owning a Verizon iPhone anytime soon. The terms of the original contract between Apple and AT&T has been uncovered. According to the contract, AT&T has exclusive rights to the iPhone until 2012. This absolutely stinks considering AT&T’s customer satisfaction rating is the lowest. There are some people who speculate that the iPad launch may have given Apple an opportunity to revisit this exclusive contract. This is all guessing at this point, so there are no details as to whether the contract has been amended and/or whether it will be shorter or longer. I have not had good experience with AT&T’s service myself, so I am definitely pulling for shorter.
