Been waiting for tomorrow forever…and now?

So did you hear the news?

It’s the news we Verizon Wireless customers have been waiting for forever.   Tomorrow, the buzz is that Verizon will announce it will start selling its version of the holy grail of smartphones, the iPhone (insert ooohs and ahhs here).

So I am perfectly positioned to be in line to make the switch as Verizon emailed me recently that I am due for a discounted phone upgrade.

Check.

I have repeatedly made it known to anyone who listened to me over the last year that I would make that switch when and if I could.  I have in the past lusted over the iPhones of friends and colleagues.  I have pestered an old friend of mine who works for Verizon Wireless over the last two years as each time I saw him I tried to pry the latest iPhone news from his brain.  Sorry Brad.

Check.

So now on the eve of this major announcement I find myself………slightly disinterested.

Why?

A couple of reasons.  First, you can blame my love affair with my iPad and the fact I don’t know if I want all my “smart” devices to be the same especially if they all can’t access Adobe Flash.

Second, many of the Android devices have similar firepower now and I at least want to see what they have coming out of the Consumer Electronics Show.

And finally, for all its splendor the iPhone has a nasty history of bugs right out of the box and I would think creating a version for Verizon Wireless’ system will likely not go off without a hitch or two.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a good chance you may see me “Face Timing” in a couple of months.  I just probably won’t be the first in line in a couple of weeks with all the Apple fanatics.

Will we see you in that line?  Let me know.
