Walmart confirmed Wednesday that it will start selling the Verizon iPhone 4 on Thursday, February 10.
The smartphone will be available at almost 600 Walmart in-store wireless areas, and the store will also have a variety of accessories like cases, car chargers, wraps, and hands-free options.
"We're excited to bring iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless, one the most anticipated mobile phone launches in recent history, to Walmart customers," Gary Severson, senior vice president of Home Entertainment for Walmart U.S., said in a statement. "As customers continue to embrace smart phone technology, we've added nearly 20 smart phone models to our assortment, including the new iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless."
Walmart joins Best Buy, which will also start offering the Verizon iPhone 4 on Thursday. Apple and Verizon Wireless stores, meanwhile, will open at 7am for those eager to snap up the device. Both companies started accepting orders for the iPhone 4 on their Web sites earlier today, after Verizon sold out last week during a pre-sale for existing customers.
Walmart already sells the AT&T version of the iPhone.
