Apple and Verizon remove the word AT&T from the Verizon iPhone?

After using the Verizon iPhone for a few weeks, something finally hit me. I have had an AT&T iPhone since the original launched, and was accustomed to typing “att” and getting a suggestion from autotext for “AT&T”. Except, this does not work on the Verizon iPhone. It’s funny because the word “Verizon” is in the AT&T iPhone’s autotext dictionary. Anyone else finding the same thing out there?

    I have a Verizon iPhone and from day one it has autocorrected “att” to “AT&T.” However, when I type “Att” as the first word, it changes it to “Art.”

    Sounds like something Verizon would do.

      They are ALL blog sites. Granted they get some good info and scoops, but always and forever will be tech-rumor blogs.

    I thought auto-correct dictionaries, as far as proper names go, ‘learned’ them from the user. so once you type ‘At&t’ once, it will then be added to the dictionary from that point forward? Maybe I’m being naive, but I don’t exactly expect an auto-correct dictionary to know the name of every major corporation and company that exists on the planet. Try typing Gerber, Cisco, etc and see if it gets auto-corrected. Also, does it autocorrect ‘apple’ to ‘Apple’?

    This is an extremely silly blog.

    The one thing that Verizon could control about its version of the iPhone! :-)

    Lets be honest. If people are too lazy to type AT&T, then maybe the smartphone is not what you seek… Perhaps you would enjoy use of a tablet or netbook instead. LOL

    it will auto correct if there is a word in front of att – example: “the att” will auto populate “the AT&T”
