I don't care if its only 3G its got to be better than what I am going through with AT&T and my current iPhone. I am not worried about 3G or any of that to me it's about being able to sit in my house on my couch and use my phone without having to sit in one spot by a window just so my phone can get service.

And ATT will now have more server room free with everyone going to Verizon so I'm sitting pretty over here (until my contract ends and I go to Verizon)

HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola Bionic, LG Revolution, Samsung Somethingoranother
All will be LTE and you can use your newly discovered skype on them. And NC should have decent LTE coverage by year end with Wilmington, Raleigh/Durham, Fayetteville and Greensboro getting turned on.
Those will probably be out before summer and I'm sure verizon has some others up their sleeves.]

Im buying it.. 3g only or not. Hate my droid incredible. I got a free upgrade anyways.
Whats the consensus here.. Worth a extra $100 for the 32gig? 1/11/2011 1:29:44 PM |
moron All American 34041 Posts user info edit post |
^ i'd go for the 32GB version, you accumulate lots of apps, some of them rather large. Plus, the iPhone 4 probably has the best mobile camera out now, so you might find yourselves taking lots of pics/vids.
And it looks like Apple managed to convince Verizon not to put it's crapware on the iPhone, like they do for all the other Verizon phones (that they also print their stupid logo all over):
Quote : | "Apple's own Phil Schiller assured the press that Verizon would not be loading up the device with crapware, too. "We want the experience to be the same for every iPhone user. So there are no special Verizon Apps preinstalled," Schiller told Ars. "AT&T offers customers some apps via the App Store. I'll let Verizon comment if they are working on anything for that."" |

Quote : | "When asked if the new CDMA iPhone is exclusive to Verizon, Cook called the deal "multi-year" and "non-exclusive." That means the other major CDMA carrier in the U.S., Sprint, could also offer Apple's smartphone, if it were to reach a deal with Apple.
Of course, the non-exclusive deal also leaves open the possibility of a future GSM iPhone offering compatibility with the fourth-largest carrier in the U.S., T-Mobile.
T-Mobile's U.S. network relies on different frequencies in the AWS 3G spectrum, supporting the 1700MHz and 2100MHz bands, while AT&T supports 850MHz and 1900MHz. The current iPhone hardware does not support the 1700MHz frequency, meaning a modification of the hardware would be necessary.
Another possibility could be regional wireless provider MetroPCS, the fifth-largest carrier in the U.S. Like Verizon and Sprint, it too operates a CDMA network." |

So... maybe other carriers might get the iPhone 4 soon too? This would be huge for Apple...1/11/2011 1:53:39 PM |

yeah, I'm not really too fond of the 4.3" screen size of the 4 upcoming lte phones. I have the Fascinate and the 4" screen on it is probably as big as I'd go. Too bad the Atrix is going to AT&T instead of Verizon. 1/11/2011 2:38:06 PM |

You can unlock an AT&T iPhone and plug in a SIM from another country. You couldn't do that with a VZ iPhone.
