Just can't wait to get your hands on the Verizon iPhone 4? You'll want to pay attention to this news, then, as Apple has announced all of the launch details for the no-longer-mythical device. Of course, existing Verizon customers can pre-order an iPhone beginning tomorrow at 3AM, but those of us not already on Big Red will be able to reserve the handset beginning February 9th at Apple.com or at one of the company's stores. When the big day (February 10th) finally rolls around, Apple and Verizon stores will be opening their doors at 7AM so that you can get your CDMA iPhone and spend the whole day neglecting work to play with your new iDevice. The full press release is available for your perusal down below.
The CDMA iPhone 4 is certainly going to be a big device for Apple and Verizon, so it's no surprise that they want to open their doors early to maximize sales, and hype, for the device. That said, it'll be interesting to see how big the lines are, if there are any, on launch day. The VeriPhone is certainly one of the most anticipated devices in recent memory, but at its core it's still an iPhone 4, which has been around for over half a year at this point. How many of you are going to pre-order a CDMA iPhone or pick one up early at your local Verizon or Apple store?
Update: Contrary to previous rumors, Best Buy has confirmed today that they will be offering the Verizon iPhone 4 on launch day, February 10th. The handset will be available at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores, although the retailers won't be taking pre-orders ahead of time. Still, great news if you want the VeriPhone on the 10th, but would also like to pick up a gigantic new 3D HDTV and a few CDs while you're at it, no?
