Re: I hope so. Well I would say they would probably just make a phone that supports it all, but making two hardware versions only increases the chance of selling more devices. |

You know, "say" they are not going to do a CDMA version, yet Apple was recruiting CDMA people about 6 months back... why would they be if they had no plans?
Apple is good at one thing, and that is keeping people confused and guessing. So, it's really hard to say WHAT exactly their plans are. |

I forgot they were advertising for engineers and developers with CDMA experience. |

said by en102:I agree. I still think that manufacturing (chipset) would have to kick it up a notch, as there is no CDMA based iPhone anywhere. I can think of 86.6 million reasons why it would be absolutely no problem for Apple to design a CDMA version of the phone in short order if the need be. |

| I guarantee they have working CDMA iPhone prototypes - probably even LTE. Apple also once said that they could but wouldn't switch to Intel processors - fast forward a few years, and their new OS, 10.6 Snow Leopard, will be Intel-only.

No.. No no../ iPhone needs to remain with att... Just seeing customers getting frustrated that the can't choose their service provider tickles me ( is like showing a juicy steak to a starving kid)... And as a AT&T stockholder I need their money |

First things first...
Verizon's LTE implementation will have speeds up to 100Mb/s. That will be in the field, not just a lab.
Secondly, while LTE will be for carrying Data, there will be voice running on it. Voice will become "just another service" running over data.

said by Just me chillin :
But LTE doesn't carry voice it only carries data. It's a pure data play right now just like Wimax is. If Apple made an LTE iPhone for Verizon it would need to include a CDMA radio as well for voice.
Wrong, the voice is VOIP basically over the data portion..

I totally agree and expressed the same viewpoint here
»MMS AT&T, Verizon & the iPhone
Apple is one of the nimblest and broad thinking companies in the technology business. They don't think one or 2 steps ahead of their current plans, but 3 or 4 and a few off to the side as well.
You don't stay ahead of the pack for so long by staying in one spot. Say what you will about Apple, but they sure as shit make their shareholders a nice chunk of change....

10 Mbps might be aggregate over a whole tower, which with 700 MHz will cover a lot of territory. Also, lower modulations will be needed to get the signal out to all areas just like any other wireless technollogy. Verizon has been quoted as saying 8-12 Mbps is a realistic estimate for the speeds people will see with LTE gear on their network. Which still isn't bad...that's faster than 99.9% of the areas that don't have cable/DSL but will have LTE. |

hey guys, just wanna clear some things up. for the envtouch..the unlimited web (v-cast) is $15, if you want to use it as a mobile broad band modem it would be $49.99 per month..yes that's right its 59.99 5gb or 39.99 250mb for cards or usb/mifi device..but only $49.99 5gb for tethering on a handheld. as for smart-phones, you have some choices, $29.99 for personal or $44.99 for corporate email, tethering on these are $30 for personal and $15 for corp. so IF and when the iphone comes the verizon you can do $29.99 or the $44.99 and tether for $30 or $15. hope this helps out.
