Yeah, I can't see it happening anytime soon. Apple's contract with AT&T for exclusivity is through 2012, and others have noted it would be kind of silly for Apple to make a CDMA version rather than just waiting for the 4G networks to be the norm.
I'll be glad to have the option when it does come to Verizon. I've had nothing but great coverage and service with them for the past 8 or so years, and all my friends with AT&T (iPhones or other phones) bitch about reception all the time.
I don't really have much need for a smartphone though. But I could waver on that with having more options in data plans than the $30 plans. I wouldn't do much beyond e-mail and maybe read some news in apps, so I could go with a lower priced tier with a smaller data cap. I'd never get $30 a month worth of usage out of one though since I don't travel that much and I'm spend most of my time near computers.
