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.
