they are going to open their network in 2008 so a person can buy a
device in any store and then register it on the Verizon network.

Only if said store sells a CDMA device. You won't be able to go into a
Cingular/AT&T or T-Mobile store and expect their GSM handsets to work on
Verizon's CDMA network.

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.
