Verizon iPhone 4 goes the CDMA way with an antenna redesign

11 January, 2011
Turns out the expected Verizon's big announcement today is all about the CDMA iPhone 4. Apple's latest gadget has the same specs as its GSM sibling (sorry guys, no LTE) and will hit the Verizon's US network on...

Finally Mr. Jobs understood it time to be innovative again, a good option for all cdma lovers out there,coz specs of iphone 4 is still among best in its class, and with launch of iphone 5 just months away i thnk apple will again raise the bar.........hope this one launches in India on time, and we dont have to wait like we are waiting for iphone 4, which is yet to launch in India......... I thnk this cdma iphone will launch on reliance network in India, coz they showed us sum teaser regarding it last year.....but it will be great if it also launches on tata and mts network, as then people will have more choice and due to competion service providers will also offer some good plans..... But for nw we can just hope and keep our fingers crossed......

    Here comes another frenzy about preordering and waiting in line by the millions. I am with Verizon and I'm planning on getting one but I will rather wait until all chaos is over.

      You know what I find very ironic? Verizon turning Iphone down then it went along to AT&T and became very successful. Now Verizon wants an iphone after all the bashing AD wars they made about Iphone and AT&T's bad network with the 3G thing?? LOL Verizon are the losers if you ask me! You know what they say, if you can't beat me then join me.

                    ''Since this one doesn't have the SIM card slot seen on the last week's leaked pictures of the iPhone spare parts so perhaps these are either fake or they really represent the next-gen iPhone 5.''

                    on the leaked pictures on the side is something to see is that not a simcard slot??

                                  So there are some people out there still using CDMA? Why would anyone bother, it never has worked very well. I know of at least three networks who tried it for a short while and then switched to GSM/UMTS.
