The iPhone. On Verizon

It's been a long time coming to be able to say those words, and not have to put "rumored" in there somewhere. At today's special event (at Lincoln Center in NYC, no less) Verizon (and Apple) made it official: the iPhone is coming to Verizon.
Which iPhone? Well the same iPhone 4 you already know and love, simply configured to run on Verizon's network. And pricing? The phone will start at $199.99 just like AT&T, but Verizon is keeping tight-lipped on the data plans, saying only that those prices will be announced "at a later date."
Now that's it's official, you'll be able to line up at Verizon (will there be lines?) beginning February 10. Existing Verizon customers will have first dibs at the early shipping phones.
What do you think? Was the lack of iPhone availability on Verizon keeping you from getting on the iPhone bandwagon?
