NEW YORK | Sat Jan 8, 2011 6:54pm EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Verizon Wireless, the top U.S. mobile provider, plans on Tuesday to unveil a version of the Apple Inc iPhone for its service and will kick off sales of the device a few weeks later, a source told Reuters.
Verizon Wireless will offer the iPhone to its customers under its existing wireless service price plans, said the source, who asked not to be named as the plan has not yet been announced.
Apple and Verizon Wireless declined comment on Saturday.
Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc, will announce pricing for the device at an event to be held in New York on Tuesday.
The agreement between Verizon Wireless and Apple marks the end of AT&T's iPhone exclusivity. AT&T Inc, the No. 2 U.S. mobile service, has been the only operator to sell iPhone since it launched in 2007.
Since AT&T has been heavily dependent on iPhone for customer growth in the last few years, some investors have worried that it could face a mass exodus of subscribers once its bigger rival starts selling iPhone.
AT&T's reputation for network performance problems, particularly in cities such as New York and San Francisco, could exacerbate the problem.
But some analysts have said that the loss of customers will be tempered by the fact that most of AT&T's iPhone customers subscribe via family plans, which are trickier to exit as they involve more than one customer.

Garmin gave us a quick rundown of its new products at CES this year including a new iPhone app and updated screen sizes.
A couple nights ago, we caught up with Garmin at the CES Digital Experience event and representatives were kind enough to show us the four new products the GPS company is showing off at the show. Most notably, the comapny is beginning to move away from its physical products, as they showed us the first iteration of their new iPhone app, available for a one-time payment of about $40 in the Apple App Store. In addition, a 5-inch version of the Nuvi 2400 series and Dezl (get it?), a new GPS unit specifically designed for giant semi trucks, is hitting stores soon.
Check out the video below to learn more. I apologize in advance for the poor focus in the footage.

NEW YORK | Fri Jan 7, 2011 9:33pm EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Verizon Wireless will sell the iPhone, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
There was no specific date for when Verizon would sell the phone in its stores, the paper reported on its website. The announcement will be made on Tuesday at an event in New York, WSJ said.
Verizon declined to comment. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.
Shares of Verizon rose 2.5 percent in after-hours trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Apple shares rose 0.6 percent in after-hours trading on the Nasdaq.
Verizon, Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc, delivered cryptic nontransferable invitations on Friday to an event to Tuesday's New York event.
The in-box invite to journalists was skimpy on details: "Join us as we share the latest news from Verizon Wireless."
AT&T Inc is currently the exclusive carrier of the iPhone.
On January 6, AT&T announced it will cut the price of its older iPhone model, the 3GS, to $49 from $99.
Apple's iPad is available through Verizon.
Earlier this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, the annual gadget extravaganza in Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless said it plans to have 10 new devices -- including four smartphones and new tablets -- on store shelves by midyear for its high speed wireless data service.
