Verizon iPhone

[mobilefreedom]

Isn't this supposed to be an LTE phone?

Nope. No LTE and also no Dual gsm/cdma mode, even for roaming. It's just plain basic vanilla cdma. But what matters is not what it CAN'T do, but what it can. It can run on cdma. We can work with that. The original iphone/gsm versions were impossible. Now it's not.

I'm putting my money on seeing a Cricket iphone one day after the Verizon one comes out.

Or even before if someone has a buddy who works at Big Red's ...lol

If the Iphone next version has gsm/LTE/cdma, why bother with anything else? It can be used on anything but iden which had a stay of execution till 2013 (the i1 was its last hurrah probably. Iden Android with only wifi and pathetic gprs 2G level web speeds...)

Droids, Berries and Winmo is where you have to go if you want dual gsm/cdma stuff...at least for now. And no LTE really either included.

Are there any devices with ALL THREE?

i wouldnt count on any solutions in one day. maybe talk and text,( if the spc is 0's) from verizon,i have a sneeking suspicion that apple will/has put some pressure on to have a unique spc for each handset,like there prepaids,that we will have to find a way to read. the solution for this linux device i dont think will be as easily found as the no proxy for the droids,but will come after some hard work.dont forget this a phone and os that cdma tech's have not had the pleasure of throwing there skills at yet, and i believe that new softwares and means of flashing will take a little time to compose. but it is exciting and when released its gonna be "off to the races"

Just think about how much trouble they are having on the GSM side, like as far cant update, having to wait for unlocks, and its always the same person that provides it. It'll be interesting to see what will happen if/when its on cricket.

I will have to find the article I read, but it said that apple was telling verizon it did not want it loaded up with its verizon firmcrap ware and supposedly verizon was going to go with not adding the bloat ware becuase they know they want to sell more units

apple has had so many "traps" with there os releases,trying evrything they can to relock everything back to at&t and throwing a wrench into anything they can that has to do with jb and unlocking.so it will be interesting to see how they will act/re-act to the hacking communitys work on this one. i have to wonder if they will play with the basebands in there realesing of a new os that relocks everytime we get one unlocked.all i gotta say is whatever you do-- DON'T UPDATE---EVER...if you get it unlocked just leave it alone.

Noob question, but would cdma phones need to use basebands? the only time ive ever seen baseband is with gsm iphones.... so really not to sure about those.
