Anyone care to speculate where the smart money might be on choosing AT&T or Verizon for service?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
People have been running iPhones on T-Mobile since 2007. The reason this is so big is because the iPhone currently doesn't support CDMA.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you jailbreak your iPhone and use it on T-Mobile's network you will only be able to use the EDGE/2G network as the iPhone's 3G radio uses different frequencies than T-Mobile's 3G network. Makes the choice seem a little backwards then doesn't it?
I'm hoping for one that uses their HSPA+ technology that gives 42 mbp/s of blazing speed.
This is total speculation; back in Sept. I was thinking about the white iPhone 4 and how it was delayed. I can see it only being available on Verizon (for a limited time) followed by specific colors for different carries, much like KitchenAid does for their blenders. I would be surprised if Sprint and T-Mobile didn't have the iPhone within the year (if Verizon does indeed get it soon)
I'm crossing my fingers on T-Mobile. I gave my mom a jailbroken iPhone 3G a few months ago, after she returned her third consecutive T-Mobile feature phone in as many weeks. She's never been happier with a phone ('so easy to use,' 'doesn't make me feel like an idiot,' 'so many capabilities'), and I'd love to get her onto an up-to-date one with 3G data capabilities. I'd just tell her to move onto AT&T but, in my exper…
No LTE, the infamous metal strip will be almost complete flush with glass top & bottom, metal strip will only be segmented once, instead of 3 times, mostly resembles an iPhone 4 otherwise. Talk & data simultaneously. No Vzw bloat on board. iOS 4.3.x (just changes for cdma). If you're considering downvoting this, wait until Tuesday to do so :)
I'm currently inside the 30 day window return as a brand new iPhone/AT&T customer; I wonder if any minor differences in this phone or in Verizon's service (I really haven't had any problems with AT&T so far in the NYC area, I make very few voice calls) would be impetus enough to switch. Anyone care to speculate where the smart money might be on choosing AT&T or Verizon for service?
Anecdotally, in NYC, the voice reliability on AT&T was terrible for me - every other call would drop within the first five minutes, many within the first two. I never had issues with my old verizon phone, I could count the number of dropped calls with one hand.

Really? I've never once had an issue with my iPhone 4 and AT&T anywhere in the Twin Cities. I have perfect 3G coverage pretty much everywhere I go.
I've had spotty reception trouble around Minneapolis, but Uptown has always been the worst. For instance, I usually can only get a single bar of reception inside Spyhouse on 25th and Hennepin on my iPhone 4, and 2 outside if I'm lucky. Also, I should mention that this experience was from Summer 2010. Maybe there were some issues with ATT's network in July, or maybe they've been bringing a lot more capacity online ove…

Talk and data at the same time isn't technologically possible on cdma. How do you figure they'll pull it off?
