Jan. 12, 2011— -- The wait is almost over. Verizon announced Tuesday that it will begin selling Apple's iPhone 4 on Feb. 10, breaking AT&T's exclusive grip on the device.

With millions of people expected to buy the phone, ABC tech contributor Becky Worley says it's not guaranteed to work better on Verizon's network.

"I say wait and see how Verizon handles the load," said Worley. "There are a lot of other issues that may be giving AT&T an edge as we compare the iPhones on both networks."

Verizon will sell the phones for the same price as AT&T, $199 for the 16 GB model and $299 for 32 GB.

Google is fixing a flaw in its Android phones that could lead to some embarrassing mistakes.

Messages sent to someone on a contact list are sometimes going to another random contact. Users have been complaining about the problem for months but Google says it occurs very rarely.
