Just curious, as I have been for a long time. I read on engadget and BGR alThis line of thinking has me wondering about Sprint. They got the Pre first.. they have the Evo.. they would be more willing to take a smaller percentage of revenues because they would get a HUGE boost from it that they so badly need.
Has there been any confirmation that such a CDMA device would in fact go to Verizon? It just seems very assuming on all the blogger's part unless they have some solid reason for thinking it.
Steve Jobs mentioned a Verizon tower on its campus ((Link) back in an interview last July when asked about network coverage at Apple and the WSJ series of leaks have always pointed at Verizon as the target provider. There have been no similar compelling leaks regarding a Sprint iPhone other than guessing that it could be true given Sprint is also a CDMA carrier. Still, there's nothing truly definitive out there in the blogosphere.
BTW, Sprint may have gotten the Pre first, but it looks like the Pre 2 will be coming to Verizon.
Mind you that the Net Add was very little between the two. AT&T got the Alltel and some Verizon customers from when Verizon bought Alltel which is why it was so high. Verizon is getting almost the rest of Centennial from AT&T in Louisiana and Mississippi, too.
Overall, Q4 is going to be huge for Verizon. It usually is anyway.
Acquisitions are counted separately from net adds. When they say AT&T had 2.5 times as many net adds as VZW, that is organic growth only, excluding acquisitions, divestitures, etc.
I am a little confused. My Verizon phone was able to roam on GSM because they used TDMA. Tell it was shutdown. The phone recognizes it as Analog. If PCS has TDMA, It could be technically be used on GSM.

A friend of mine said he just went to Verizon to switch to them and get a Droid X and the sales guy told him that he may want to wait for the iPhone because they just got a notification that the iPhone is coming to Verizon on January 6th. I know this guy wouldn't lie about it. But the Verizon sales guy could be misinformed. Has anyone else heard this?
Store employees are at the bottom of the corp latter and always the very last people to know anything. Verizon may release an iPhone in January but I can assure you some low level run of the mill store employee wouldn't have information on that at this time. That being said the evidence is mounting for a January launch. Here is another article that was just published yesterday. Click on the link below to read it.

I agree with Comical. I bet the guy just heard it from his store manager, who in turn heard it from any of the dozens of onlines sources that are just repeating the usual hearsay.

While that story my be possible, I just can't help to think that Fox Con is having issues keeping up with current world wide demands of the gsm iphone. Why would they push back their production even more taking on a cdma version?

I was unaware that there was a shortage of iPhones available for purchase? If not, then a new production of CDMA iPhoens would not alter the situation. Once demand slows enough that store shelves can keep a few on hand then re-orders are handled with only slight delays that wouldn't affect anyone.
I don't think the antenna issue will be a problem.
I was in San Francisco for CTIA this month. My loaner phone? An iPhone 4 on AT&T, and I'm left-handed. By all rights, I should have been dropping every call and never making a connection, but I had several calls without a drop and fairly good 3G data speeds. Unless AT&T had some special mini-cells to handle the load, I think the iPhone 4 is fine as long as you're not in a fringe area,

It would not surprise me if they did take in cows or installed temporary mini towers inside a convention center. AT&T does this during SXSW at teh convention center to help in traffic. Here is a mini tower that they had spread around they convention center.

Are those mini towers Cat5E connected to the backhaul? Do they use T1s or a VoIP connection?
