...What we do know at the moment, thanks to a press release issued by the company, is this: early next year, the number two wireless carrier in the country "will publish the technical standards the development community will need to design products to interface with the Verizon Wireless network."
The company will activate on the network any devices that meet the "minimum technical standard." The company has also asserted that, "any application the customer chooses will be allowed on these devices."
In all, the move seems to be an acceptance of the openness already embraced by Verizon's largest competitor, AT&T, which has long left its network open to unlocked devices and third-party apps. Long recognized as the harbinger of lockdowns and crippled device features, Verizon is looking at the expanded options already offered by the other major wireless carriers, but not, of course, without gritting its teeth with a touch of corporate speech.
This is pretty cool stuff....I mean the devices still need to work on a CDMA network but the possibilities are pretty big. At the very least you won't have to deal with Verizon's crappy UI that they overwrite onto the devices they sell.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
