Palm and Verizon Wireless announced a deal Thursday that brings the device maker's popular Centro smartphone to Verizon subscribers. The Centro's debut on Verizon comes some nine months after Palm launched the device on Sprint's wireless network and about five months after it became available to AT&T customers. The handset, which is available to Verizon customers on Friday, June 13, costs $99 after a rebate and with a two-year contract. Without those susidies, the phone is priced at $389.99.

I noticed this month that Verizon is opening up their network to any mfg that can make phones that will operate on their system. What are the chances that Apple will make their phones operational on Verizon's network?

What's an iPhone look alike without the Apple OS?

I have Verizon and the fact that they are trying to entice me into an iPhone look alike is admirable, but unless it comes with the Apple OS, I'm not at all interested.
