I have no idea why a petition for this was created on change.org?
This seems like huge waste of time. It sounds like The Note is selling well so far on AT&T. Lot of hype, media coverage, etc. My local mall had a large set up with tons of them to try out. I'm sure all carriers are taking note (no pun intended). If VZW doesn't already have it in the works, no doubt they are watching Note sales closely. I imagine if this phone/tablet idea takes off, Verizon will start selling the "Journal" and other types of this new breed.
I really doubt a petition on this subject will have any affect on VZW's plans. But, it's kind of cute that some of you think it will
