And before you say "Why don't you just ask your friend," I will already tell you that he can't tell anyone how it is done. He is employed by Verizon Wireless and hacking the iPhone was one of the projects on his team.

I had just downloaded MakeItMine, and I was at the mall getting lunch with my family when I saw the Verizon store and the light clicked on in my head. I love a practical joke, so I put Verizon up where the carrier name is displayed, and walked in the store. The guy asked me if I needed any help, and I told him I was just wondering if he had heard when they were getting these for public release (and showed him my iPhone displaying Verizon). I told him a good friend of mine worked in the corporate office at Verizon, and they were currently testing the units. I was lucky enough to be a beta tester (through my friend) but I thought they had made an inter-company announcement that morning, and it was all official. You should have seen the guy. He started wigging out, telling everyone in the store it was coming and that I had one. I quickly acted as though I had a call coming in, took the "call", and excused myself from the store. A friend of mine went in that same store 3 weeks later and the guy was telling people who asked that it was coming soon.

It was the funniest thing I had seen all day. Your friend is rolling on the floor laughing right now.

Like the post a few up explained, Verizon does not make handsets. Even the handsets that are Verizon branded with no other company logos on board, are produced by known handset makers, usually HTC. Verizon does not do "one off" builds on handsets for experiments, this guy really got you going - THATS HILARIOUS.

Both of the responses are formatted as such...

'says the veterain with ## posts'

Now, with my post, I thought it would be witty to find a guy with one of the *most* posts in the thread and say the same thing thus doing two things; 1) pointing out that he has a lot of posts and 2) in turn providing a humorous juxtaposition using the same format that the previous posts used.

My second line '...oh wait....' would be simulating the fact that I just realized you had MANY posts as opposed to few.

Honestly, it's not as funny now that I had to explain it

First of all, please do not respond if you are just going to tell me that there is absolutely no way to have an iPhone on Verizon because it's just not true.

I have seen an iPhone on Verizon's network and working. I know that the guy who made this happen took parts from a Verizon pda phone (antenna, radio, etc.) and put them into the iPhone. I can't imagine that it would be that simple as the iPhone would have no way of knowing how to actually use these new parts. I'm fairly confident that he just took the parts from a Blackberry with a PRL already loaded and somehow made a hack or application that allowed the iPhone to actually recognize and use everything it needed for Verizon.

My question is this: Is there a walkthrough ANYWHERE?

And before you say "Why don't you just ask your friend," I will already tell you that he can't tell anyone how it is done. He is employed by Verizon Wireless and hacking the iPhone was one of the projects on his team.
