I'm not saying I'm right ... It's of course just a guess. We can't really roll back the clock and see if the iPhone would have been as big a success with Verizon digging their fingers in it.

Maybe. I know you are more in the know on Apple stuff.
I do think right out of the box the iPhone is totally awesome, especially if we're comparing it to the other leading edge stuff at the time like the BB Pearl lol. Apple could never have anything to do with the phone again after you first buy it and I still think it would be fantastic and miles ahead of the competition. But like you say, there is no real way to know for sure. Guess it's probably a combination of both.
