Verizon iPhone

I saw one today, it's kinda slow compared to t-mobile and at&t (no I'm not saying t-mobile has an iPhone I'm talking about the ones that are unlocked) so I don't think flashing it would do any good untill your service provider has gone 4G

The iPhone for Verizon isn't going to be 4G capable in the first place. Everything I read about the iPhone shows it will be 3G on the Verizon network.

What smitty said, 3g should be plenty capable. its not even on 4g on AT&T, and on Tmobiles its running off edge, which is slower than 3g. But i did happen to pick up 815kbps on my iphone from edge, which was faster than a Samsung Vibrant on the ADR plan, that was picking up mid 600s kbps. FWIW it will be more than capable to do everyday task.

I'm more concerned with the phone potentially being on LTE. Wouldn't that essentially make it incompatible with most other CDMA networks?

well there are plans for the Verizon iphone to be on LTE, i believe late summer from what i read. But that should not have any affect on it being compatible or incompatible with other CDMA networks.

a good example of this would be the iphone is 3g on AT&T but on T-mobile its only edge although T-mobile has 3g and HSPA+ (4G).

iphone on tmobile wont get edge unless 3g is switched to the off position in settings. i agree with eric it will just simply not get LTE it will in that case most likely revert to 3g or whatever is available,since this all runs throught a .prl if the .prl in the phone is cricket it will not of course not be capable of LTE speeds or picking up an LTE signal,it will simply be capable of crickets 3g(which is actualy about 2g or less) but it will only get whatever the .prl that is in the phone is made for of pointing it to,you know some .prl's are evdo some are 2g some 3g some are roaming some are not,it will only do what the .prl written to the phone was made for,and since cricket does'nt have a LTE network..........
