Verizon CDMA iPhone 4

This is the first CDMA a iPhone that is now on the Verizon netwok which will launch next month. The new CDMA iPhone will cost $199.99 for a 16GB, $299 for a 32GB with a 2 year contract.
The only thing that sucks is that the iPhone is going to run off Verizon's old 3G network instead of their newly launched 4G-LTE network. "The reason why it's not a LTE phone is because the first-generation LTE chipsets force compromises Apple doesn't want to make, but Verizon customers want an iPhone now." - Tim Cook
You are able to use the "HotSpot" feature to connect your phone to a laptop and use it to push data across, but phone is still kind of useless since you can't do voice and data at the same time.

To sum it all up, Verizon can't seem to leave the past behind and move forward with better technology. I'm going to stay with AT&T.
