By default it is locked but if you're a customer in good standing Verizon will gladly give you the unlock code. I've done this literally twelve times with various new and warranty replacement headsets.

If iPhones are available on Verizon starting in February, that sound y'all hear coming from central Connecticut will be my father squealing with joy. I'm keeping my current "dumbphone" for as long as it survives.

The Wall Street Journal has jumped on the announcement coming Tuesday for the Verizon Iphone bandwagon.
I don't see them releasing it with everything out of the gate. It's not how they usually operate. They need to get people hooked into a two year contract, then upgrade the phone causing everybody to pay full price for a new phone with the new features.
The Journal (not that they know any better than anybody else, just that they are read by far more people than the tech blogs) is saying it will be CDMA only.
Guess we will all know tomorrow.

If this announcement does turn out to be a Verizon iPhone announcement (I personally still think it's something else, like a 3G Verizon iPad), then it may be that WSJ has a source inside one of the companies.

AT&T is acting like it's coming
In a statement to Silicon Alley Insider, AT&T spokesman Larry Solomon noted that AT&T's wireless technology allows for faster download speeds than Verizon.
"The iPhone is built for speed, but that's not what you get with a CDMA iPhone," he said. "I'm not sure iPhone users are ready for life in the slow lane."
