Verizon & the iPhone

Today is the day almost every Verizon customer has been waiting for...almost every one.  The iPhone became available from Verizon today.  I am a loyal Verizon customer and believe that their CDMA network is far superior to the GSM network so I wish Verizon good luck...but I am not going to join those lining up for the iPhone.  As the iPhones fly off the shelves, I will be munching a cupcake and sending a text on my Droid!
