I get it, guys.  Seriously.  Everyone I know who doesn’t have an iPhone has one of two reasons.

1. They’re on their mom’s family plan and she won’t switch carriers.
2. They’re on a company plan.

And that’s nothing to be ashamed of.  You’re cheap, you’re owned by your company, whatever.  But if you’re a journalist, you have something of an (oh god I can hear people laughing) obligation to report well-researched, or at least plausible facts.  The latest article cites the following highly credible sources:

• “People familiar with the situation”
• “People familiar with the device”
• “People briefed by the company”

And, none of those people said anything about Verizon.  Just CDMA.  So, employees of WSJ, with your Blackberries; I sympathize, I really do.  But Apple isn’t going to make a Verizon iPhone just because you write an article every week, predicting it.

One “we told you so!” isn’t worth years of bad journalism and failed predictions.
