I have argued this for months. This is why I think they wont.
Verizon spent 5 years and countless millions of dollars trying to beat the Iphone... They did with the droid, WITHOUT the problems associated with the Iphone 4. There is no need for a stupid bumper, no need to worry if you're holding your phone correctly for reception, no need to worry if the updated software will be worse than the last. People want the Iphone yes, I will agree, but Verizon was offered the Iphone originally and they turned it down and probably regretted it. I've been through 7 Iphones, I had the grandfather unlimited data plan and I gave it up for the Droid X and will not look back.
The biggest reason I left ATT was the congestion on their network I used to have to wait 45 minutes to make a phone call sometime, and I had 3-5 dropped calls a day. According to every person I ever spoke to at ATT this was due to the iphone. Oh... and to top all of this off they upgraded my contract without permission for another 2 years and tried to make me pay a cancellation fee of $170.00, which took over 2 weeks to resolve.
