Did you notice the emphasis on the word "device"? I don't think they
mean handsets. My guess(tm) is that Verizon is targetting iPhone like
devices, as well as micro-cellular devices, cheaper GPS tracking
devices, and SCADA like devices. In other words, this is Verizon's
way of admitting that they blew it with the iPhone and is trying to
put a positive spin on the damage control.

I can't wait to see the price tag on the official Verizon standards
and certification.
