Im just going over what Leo Laporte was just talking about on his show, just a few minutes ago
Why stand in line? I always just order from Verizon online and get the new phone at home the next day.
No, it's not a world phone. VZ is just talking about using it in the other countries that support CDMA.
Useful for sure. However, don't forget that if you take a phone call, the hotspot stops.
Data plans...
Can anyone tell me how the unlimited data plans compare between ATT and Verizon? Their sites are so confusing.

If your NOT Verizon
You have to wait until the 10th of February to order / purchase, Hmmm all those jumpers going back to verizon are going to have to wait, oh thats going to hurt
It's going to be interesting to see the supply and demand and most of all how AT&T's going to handle this with counter advertisements.
I'm still leaning towards waiting till June or when ever the newer version of the iPhone appears seeing how there changing the antenna position so far in leaked pictures.

Yeah too bad I won't be able to use it while talking on my iPhone though.
AT&T has alot of wifi hotspots. Does verizon have many?
Did you guys notice!!!!!
The separation above the mute button. Like the photographs that were around the web. So there are differences!

I'm not sure what you mean. Verizon already has tens of millions of customers that make that trade-off now. I'm sure they'd be happy to have the iPhone.
Oh, i'm definitely not going to. I'm saying other people will and those long lines are to be expected again.
They waived that charge on the Pre and threw it in as part of the plan, i'm assuming it'll be the same on the iPhone based on today's media event.
I wonder whether the Verizon data network will allow VoIP traffic so you can still take calls while tethered.
AT&T's tethering fees alone for the remainder of my "contract" are about the same as what my ETF with AT&T would be... I'll be curious to see how (or even if) AT&T responds
gps apps use the gps module for navigation, not data, at least tom tom doesnt need data active to work.
Define Refresh Cycle
Q: Will it be on a yearly refresh cycle?
A: Cook: No comment.
I'm not sure what the question exactly means...for example, if the answer was YES, does that mean the iPhone 5 would NOT be available until Feb 2012? Or if YES, does it mean that it would be on the refresh cycle of Apple therefore if the iPhone 5 was released in May 2011 Verizon would get it immediately. My hunch is the latter...and hence the reason for no comment...because Verizon doesn't want to go live in Feb while the public knows the iPhone 5 is just a few short month away and hence will hold off the switch/purchase. Much easier to screw people by selling them a 1 year old model for the same price as a just-a-few-months-away-new-and-improved model for the same (if not lower) price.
My bottom line on the iPhone 5 topic: If Verizon doesn't have it by Sep 2011, I may stay with ATT. My iPhone 3GS is already performing quite poorly and I would like the newer features of the iPhone 5...but I ain't waiting over a year from now to get it if ATT has it this summer...even though I hate ATT's service quality.

11:21AM Q: Will it be on a one year refresh cycle?
Tim: We don't comment on that.
He should have added to that "comment", why would we want to scare away our early adopters?
