Getting Verizon iPhone Now?

Today, finally there is news about Verizon iPhone data plan. It will be only $30 unlimited data plan for iPhone 4 Verizon users. No one knows if there is a cap for this plan although it is an unlimited data plan. From Verizon Wireless web site, we know $15 with 150MB data plan is temporary promotion. So, it is becoming clear in order to get Verizon iPhone, $30 is the only data plan.

There are rumors these days about Apple iPhone 5(dual mode can be used in Verizon and AT&T) coming this summer. Considering Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 cannot be used with call and web at same time, this is one disadvantage to get Verizon iPhone comparing AT&T iPhone 4.

While Verizon's network is more reliable, AT&T's 3G network is faster. Should we get Verizon iPhone 4 now or wait for half year to get iPhone 5, or even longer to get an iPhone for 4G network? The networks are built on different wireless standards. AT&T uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. AT&T's GSM network allows for simultaneous voice and data. That means we can't access the Web on your Verizon iPhone while making a phone call without the aid of WiFi.

Apple iPhone 4 for Verizon

This morning, Apple and Verizon announced the Verizon-compatible iPhone.

The iPhone 4 for Verizon will begin preorders on February 3rd with availability starting on February 10th. The 16GB model will cost $199.99 and the 32GB model $299.99 with two year contract.

A surprise, Verizon is allowing the iPhone 4 to be a mobile Mi-Fi device that can share its 3G connection to up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices. This means you can use laptop or iPad to connect to Internet through Verizon iPhone 4. However, as a CDMA device, you won't be able to use your 3G Internet connection and Voice at the same time.

Pricing details will be announced later.

iPhone Coming to Verizon?

Verizon sent invitations and scheduled an event for early January 11 at 11 am in New York City. It looks likely to be Verizon's long-awaited, widely leaked but never officially announced unveiling of a Verizon iPhone. We don't know why Verizon chooses this day and time to have the special event: there are so many 1s in this schedule: 1/11/2011, 11am(maybe at 11 minutes and 11 seconds after 11am).

If it is iPhone for Verizon, it will be good for Verizon, Apple and AT&T's network, surely for consumers.
