My wife needs to upgrade from her jb/unlocked iphone 3gs, currently on TMO. Based on information currently available, we're going to wait till the hype settles down and then get the Verizon factory unlocked version at full price and port over to Vz, probably on prepaid basis and not get locked into 2 yr contract.

Vz is best for us as she often travels to Asia and uses local prepaid accounts. I think the challenge will be whether prepaid sim cards will be available in nano size by Christmas....pretty sure they'll figure out a way by then.

I might even try to talk her into taking my 4s on Vz and giving me the new toy....
