Verizon CTO Tony Melone even said, ?Android really took off when Verizon got involved.?

When the iphone came out I wanted one, but wasn't willing to switch given Verizon's HUGE network. I never have no service, dropped calls, etc. While my iphone friends frequently have issues.
So yeah, you could say that Verizon played a huge role.
