The data problem was existing 3G SIMs into 4G devices (and not even all...) - Verizon isn't going to have that problem, so if they're worried about it they're frankly clueless (although that wouldn't surprise me, I suppose). I do hope my Verizon brethren get WP device choices, and I know part of the reason they haven't is because of VZW's requirement for all phones on their network to be LTE devices, but I would hate to see another repeat of one device option long-term. It just seems VZW has hitched their ship to Android and sell the iPhone because they have to (basically) to be "hip and cool".
