Verizon iPhone Confirmed, Believe it?

Let’s face it, the Verizon iPhone has to be the most rumoured smartphone in the history of mobile phones, barely a day goes by without some speculation that the iPhone will end up on the Verizon network sooner or later with any and all mentions quickly hitting the net waves.

Well here’s another for you, according to an article over on the Boy Genius Report by Andrew Munchbach, Fortune has now confirmed that the Verizon iPhone will be released early in 2011.

So there you go, not more need for any speculation is there? Well maybe, as I don’t actually see a quote from Apple stating that Verizon will gain the CDMA iPhone early in 2011, and well if Apple doesn’t say anything then basically it’s still in the land of make believe.

Besides didn’t everyone also believe that the white iPhone 4 was going to show up before the year was out? Just goes to show that unless it comes straight from the horse’s mouth itself you can’t take anything for granted, and even then it can always change until such times as we actually see a Verizon branded iPhone.

Verizon Droid Pro Coming Minus Camera for Enterprise

If you work in a high security business you probably don’t want a camera on your smartphone, which is the usual with top secret companies although apparently fewer businesses impose the no camera phone regulation on employees these days.

However, according to an article over on Enagdget by Chris Ziegler there must still be a call for the camera-less smartphone in the enterprise sector as word is there is to be a Verizon Motorola Droid Pro minus its camera.

Evidence of the camera-less Droid Pro handset comes by way of a leaked shot that mentions “the new Enterprise-focused DROID phone without a camera,” which means this device will be the first Android handset to come minus its camera.

Apparently the source has said that they are “99 percent positive” that this is what this device is. Thus if this training doc proved to be the real deal Enterprise can look forward to the Motorola Droid Pro without camera coming to play in the not too distant future.
