Verizon Wireless to charge $2 'convenience fee' for paying bill online or by phone.

Roosevelt Field Apple store opens early to surprisingly small turnout.
For years, AT&T customers have held their Apple iPhones high while Verizon customers have been on the outside looking in, so to speak. But all that changed with the end of AT&T's iPhone exclusivity agreement, and on Thursday, Apple and Verizon joined together to release the iPhone 4 to the envious, non-AT&T masses. Patch was at the Apple store at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City to cover the 7 a.m. Verizon iPhone launch. Click the video to view highlights of this event.
