True, but you can place a sure bet that if exclusivity is gone, there will quickly be a CDMA iPhone on the market for Verizon, and others. That is one of the safest bets around.
The only spoiler is the upcoming Droid for Verizon.
I'd tend to agree. It's hard to imagine that Apple has that much of a problem with CDMA if one subscribes to the notion that they approached Verizon first with the idea of the iPhone.
