To work on Verizon however, the new iPhone hardware would have to be CDMA compatible
The CDMA providers in Canada have HSPA capabilities, is this not true for the CDMA providers in the states?

I really hope this is true. I'm using T-Mobile on my iPhone right now but their 3G network isn't compatible. If they become one of the new carriers of the phone then hopefully the compatibility issues will be resolved.

AT&T advertises their Crackberries and that they have more smartphone options than other providers too.

I hope a lot of people jump ship and go to another carrier. Should lighten the load on AT&T's network. Then I don't have to jump ship and go to another carrier. :0)

I believe this. It would explain all the recent going for the throat advertising Verizon been doing against AT&T. They have really beat AT&T down hard on how their 3g network is a joke.
It would seem Verizons current advertising is meant to ramp up the idea that they are the better network for people with iPhones. Why would it be such a big deal if it weren't that Verizon was getting the iphone. I think this is all in preparation for the biggest mass exodus of a single phone carrier in modern history. If this is true about Wed. the last day....2010 will be a VERY bad year for AT&T.

So all of those Iphone users switch to Verizon, which has more coverage but a much less capable 3G network.
So complaints switch from "I can't get on the 3G network" to "This 3G network is SLOOOOOOOOOOO"...
:D

no actually test have been done and AT&T is faster than verizon. But the catch is that is when you can get an actual 3G signal and not the EDGE signal. I was just eating at chili's few minutes ago with full bars on edge signal and my wife was complaint about the long waiting for pictures to load on her iPhone. Now that does piss me off extremely and makes me want to take my iPhone to another carrier but you know what the reality is.........?
1. 3g is suppose to be getting in my area soon (AT&T is really
Working diligently now bc verizon has a knife at their jugular
With all these 3g commercial. When they get all upgrades
Done verizon will have to pull all commercials showing the
Small 3g maps bc it would then be slander and they would
Have to pay millions in lawsuits.
2. Grass isnot always greener on the other side. If I switch to verizon
Now and hen AT&T gets upgrades complete I am stuck with a slower
3g network especially when others leave. AT&T in search of 3g coverage
NOW leading to less data demand on AT&T network.
So what do I decide? Hard choice.

for me its not a hard choice. i just got my phone in october so im stuck with at&t for 2 years. i just hope that if there is a mass jump at&t will only get better. Also I can only assume verizon will be cheaper and if at&t wants to stay competative they will lower there prices too. Mostly there text and minute plans.
