Apple Thoughts: Verizon iPhone Launch Not Entirely Smooth

"The iPhone is only a gadget made of wires, metal and glass. However, as Verizon is learning, the Apple handset - and its enthusiastic fans - can also be a force of nature. Despite its planning and words of assurance, Verizon is being hard hit as the carrier's Website takes a pounding from wave after wave of iPhone 4 pre-orders."

I can honestly say I'm not very surprised. I don't think any carrier would be prepared for the wave of people who've been waiting for an iPhone on a network other than AT&T. I wish Verizon a lot of luck. It'll be interesting to see if their network will be able to handle all the new iPhone users and their data usage. Everyone will be watching closely.
