Verizon iPhone rumors go into overdrive as the carrier invites tech reporters to a special Tuesday announcement. But should we believe this anonymous Verizon iPhone gossip over all the rest?
Here's how Verizon iPhone rumors usually go: The Verizon iPhone will come next year – will arrive soon – could become a reality in the next few month – etc. Pretty vague, huh?
So it was a great surprise when the Wall Street Journal reported that the Verizon iPhone will emerge "at an event Tuesday."
That's right, the long-awaited phone could become official tomorrow.

WSJ's article relies on the usual anonymous sources, but offers the best evidence yet that years of will-they-won't-they scuttlebutt may finally come to an end January 11.
"The Verizon phone will be similar to the iPhone 4 but run on the carrier's CDMA technology," the WSJ reports, dashing hopes that Verizon could get the first 4G iPhone. Many agree that Apple would be foolish to push its feature-heavy phone onto the brand new 4G networks. Zippier speeds will hack away at battery life, and few cities offer the new technology anyway.
