Until this month, Verizon had always been one of the most public advocates of Android and given the platform its full attention. Now Verizon has a promo that shows an expectation that many recent buyers will switch. The offer will give anyone who bought a phone between November 26 and January 10 a $200 Visa debit card if they buy the iPhone 4 at its full price before the end of February. It doesn’t amount to a full discount but is worded such that Verizon fully anticipated some Android and BlackBerry users had bought devices only on the assumption they couldn’t get the iPhone.
“I just purchased a new smartphone during the holiday season, but if I knew that iPhone 4 was going to be available soon I would have waited,” the FAQ question reads. “What are my options now?”
