- Did they make mention on if there is an upgrade/promotional strategy for existing verizon customers. It will really be irritating if they don't have some kind of promotion like At&t had when they got the iPhone 4.01-11-11 10:40 AMLike 0

But I'm confused here. It says the iPhone4 is the device. The VZW site points to the Apple site for more info on the iPhone4, and that's not a CDMA device. How can that be?
EDIT: It IS a CDMA device. Apple hasn't updated their site for that yet.Last edited by lockerc18; 01-11-11 at 10:58 AM.

Also, Verizon is still on the $30 unlimited data plan, but since most AT&T customers are already grandfathered into that, they won't notice or mind.
I'd be pretty confident if you are on Verizon that they'll find ways to re-up your plan for an extended 2 years and the $199 base price. Man, this news has been rumored and talked about so long, but now that it's here, I still feel like people are underestimating how significant it is. The internet and word-of-mouth has made average consumers so much more sophisticated than they used to be. 5 years ago, you could openly debate which carriers had the best service...the saturation of the iPhone made AT&T a TON of money, but it also EXPOSED the crappiness of their network for everyone to see (and yes, I'm on AT&T). If iPhones "work" on Verizon CDMA (and soon on 4G LTE), what will be the argument for ever going back to AT&T?01-11-11 10:53 AMLike 0 -
Congrats Verizon & any BB convert! Dispite the naysayers, you will love the iphone. It is truly a great device.01-11-11 11:31 AMLike 0 - Don't know that yet, but I am seeing that AT&T is hiking termination fees up to like $325 to combat this.

- If Apple is smart, and yes they are... they will release ONE device with some sort of dual band CDMA/GSM variant. It will keep costs down while exponentially keeping profits high.01-11-11 03:06 PMLike 0

- Yep, I'm gonna replace my Storm and move away from Blackberry's for the verizon iphone and then if the iphone 5 turns out to have the ability to use CDMA, GSM and LTE (which I expect it would be the plan to make it easier to manufacture without having to run production for multiple carrier types) then I will wait until the big rush is done with and then pay full price for the iphone 5 or if it doesn't have LTE then I will wait until they issue one that does.
Of course this is all presuming that LTE happens to be rolled out in my area at that time! If it is not available then there is no point in purchasing one that does for those occasional visits to areas that do have LTE active.
At this time LTE is not active in my locality.
I did have plans if they didn't launch the iphone on verizon in February to switch to AT&T but it worries you when go past their store and they only have one sales person and no customers in an AT&T Corporate store.
It would be interesting for someone to make a poll to see what breakdown of people would
1. Already a verizon customer and will update to iphone now
2. Already a verizon customer and will wait until the iphone 5 is launched
3. A customer from a non-verizon network planning to switch to verizon and update to iphone.
4. An AT&T customer with an iphone willing to switch networks immediately.
5. An AT&T customer with an iphone planning to wait for an LTE phone to launch.
6. A customer from a non-verizon non-AT&T network planning to switch to verizon for an LTE I-phone
Of there are options that could be available for those not wishing to switch at all but the count of those are not really relevant to the verizon iphone and LTE.01-11-11 08:23 PMLike 0
