"Now that Tuesday's Verizon iPhone announcement is all but assured, what will the impact be on current AT&amp;T iPhone customers?\nWith the latest rumors indicating that Verizon's version of the iPhone will be available in late January, we know that plenty of Mashable readers will be contemplating making the move to a carrier with \u2014 let's just say \u2014 fewer connectivity issues.\nOf course, the wireless companies never make this easy. As Mashable's Ben Parr pointed out yesterday, the Verizon iPhone might not spell immediate disaster for AT&amp;T, if only because of the high early termination fees.\nAT&amp;T charges an ETF of $325 for smartphone owners who enter into two-year service agreements. However, AT&amp;T reduces the amount of the ETF $10 for every month a customer is in their agreement. That means that if an AT&amp;T customer signed a new two-year agreement in June 2010 (for the iPhone 4), it may be possible to shave $60 off that $325 figure if he or she cancels the account in February. \nOf course, for AT&amp;T customers who are at their breaking point with the carrier's notoriously shoddy coverage, the price \u2014 any price \u2014 might be worth leaving the fold for possibly greener pastures.\nAt CES 2011, AT&amp;T proved once again that it cannot manage a large load of smartphone-using, data-munching customers congregated in one area. To be fair, Verizon's data connections were also slow, but at least most of those phones could make and receive phone calls.\nLast fall, we polled Mashable readers on their interest in a Verizon iPhone. The results were clear \u2014 58% of respondents said they were interested in an iPhone on the nation's largest carrier. \nIn that poll, the majority of \"yes\" respondents were current Verizon customers. This time, we'd like to poll existing iPhone owners (though non-iPhone owners can feel free to vote as well). Are you going to switch carriers to get a Verizon iPhone?\n\n\n\n    iPhone Owners: Will You Make the Switch to Verizon for its iPhone?online surveys\n\n\n\nTake our poll and then let us know your thoughts in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
