Not only that, but Verizon has introduced, or is in the process of,
their own music download service. The iTunes phone directly competes
with that. It's highly unlikely that Apple would make a VCast compatible
version of the phone.
I'm still on the fence about wanting this phone. On one hand, it's sexy
as well. On the other, I don't know how well I would be able to use it
outside of it being an iPod Phone. If I am going to have a $500+ device,
it had better sync with Exchange, have decent web access, etc.
As far as I know, the only push email service for it is Yahoo mail.

The biggest thing is that the phone is a quad-band GSM. That means no
Verizon because it uses a CDMA network. It makes sense for Apple to
go with GSM because CDMA is US only. Just about every country in the
world (with the exception of Japan and a couple places in Africa) have
GSM networks so their one device will be usable world-wide.
