I have to admit that I was shocked when Verizon announced the CDMA iPhone (4).\u00a0 I didn’t think that this would happen.\u00a0 What I expected from my previous posts was a LTE iPhone 4(G).\u00a0 I have to say I am stunned.<\/p>\n
First, with CDMA you can’t use data and voice at the same time – this is HUGE!!!\u00a0 I can’t tell you how many times I have needed to get online for some information and was able to while on a phone call.\u00a0 I guess Verizon customers are used to this limitation and they are okay with it.<\/p>\n
Second, I expected Apple would develop and release an LTE iPhone that would cover both AT&T and Verizon.\u00a0\u00a0 I based that expectation on both AT&T and Verizon moving to the 700MHz radio band, to which the rights for use were acquired when the FCC auctioned the bandwidth off.<\/p>\n
I still anticipate an iPhone 4G that will run on the 700MHz or LTE band this summer; however, this could be the first time that Apple skips a summer release.\u00a0 I don’t anticipate that Sprint or T-Mobile will come online anytime soon; yet I am wrong … and more often then I would like.<\/p>\n
What I can say is that Apple continues to surprise me.<\/p>\n
