Where?!? http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/06/an-iphone-no-way-on-verizon-where/ http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/06/an-iphone-no-way-on-verizon-where/#comments Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:23:04 +0000 MordyT http://www.ppcgeeks.com/?p=1252 There are several major different selling points of the iPhone. The biggest one in my opinion -
IT JUST WORKS.
No need to unlock and flash a custom ROM, no need to soft-reset, Just click your app and BOOM - it opens. Now I will admit that there are several major problems with the iPhone like the OS, the network, the battery being fixed, no hardware keyboard among others, and I would never get one. And yes, some of these problem can be fixed with aftermarket products. And I have several on my iTouch. But the one thing I have never seen a fix for was the network. Still leaning out of my window to get a 3G fix. Well, until now.
Iphone Nano


According to the iphoneblog, Apple is making a smaller, CDMA compatible "World Phone" for Verizon.
It is supposed to arrive Q3 of 2010, but may be later.
So the real question is, now that we are getting a phone that just works, on a network that just works, who is going to be switching? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

This means that a device that has both a CDMA and LTE chipset, respectively, handled a data connection and switched over from one technology to another without a loss of the data connection.

This is significant for a few reasons. First off, this showcases future technology that Verizon Wireless may use when they start their own roll out of LTE. Also, having a device like this would allow for users to use LTE in Europe/Asia and a CDMA network in the US. A ROM could be built that allows a user to access Sprint's CDMA network while also browsing Verizon's LTE network for instance. Also, it puts pressure on Sprint/Clearwire to increase the speed of the roll out of their own 4G (Wi-Max) network. For more information on LTE, please go here.
