I think Verizon customers waiting for what comes after the iPhone 4 should be able get this phone and be happy with it. iPhone 5 should be a ways out and this looks like a great upgrade from the 4.
I just wish they would have updated the iPod Touch's hardware. I wanted them to also put the A5 chip in that device. Oh well at least I know it's safe to order one and that they won't be making changes to it in the next few months. (My current iPod Touch's screen broke.)
Personally, I'm waiting for Samsung/Google's announcement next Tuesday to see what they have to offer.
