I believe that at&t has an exclusive deal with apple for 5 years but aside from that verizon is cdma and the iPhone runs on GSM and i really doubt apple will make a cdma iPhone

I can see Tmobile having it in the future but not verizon

Or he can Jailbreak and unlock to T-mobile, all he would have to do is figure out how to get the data portion working correctly

Basically, if he wants to stay with Verizon, he wont be able to get an iPhone, or use it on their network.

I thought I heard it the other way around, that verizon would allow all phones to be used on their network in 2009.

I'm not really sure how that would work/be possible (because it sounds like something that has to be taken care of on the phone's end ie: unlocking), but I thought I read it that way.
