To counter AT&T’s iPhone 4 exclusivity in the US, Verizon Wireless said it plans to roll out Motorola’s newest Android-enabled device the Droid X.
Verizon and rival US cellcos Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile also plan to launch Samsung’s latest smartphone the Galaxy S smartphone shortly, said the WSJ.
AT&T earlier announced that it would also start selling the Galaxy S this year.
Analysts expect the iPhone to help Apple sell about 36 million iPhones in 12 months to September, up 73% year on year, said the WSJ.
