Not sure how your math works, but the actual sales time would only be 5 months. Manufacturing would end before the beging of the next device unless they kept is as a cheaper model.

Yes, they make profit, but the longer a model is manufactured and sold the greater that profit. They have targets for these things and they will not change that just to rollout 2 CDMA iPhones in such a short term.

I honestly don't see the logic here. Why would you guys think Apple would release 2 CDMA iPhones in such a short period? Makes no sense.

Just like in the UK with the 3GS when O2 lost exclusivity and Orange & Vodafone got the 3GS in January, 5 months before the iPhone 4, they soldit as their main iPhone until the iPhone 4 came out and the 3GS became the cheaper model, this is what will happen on verizon with this iPhone 4. simple as. The more i think about it, the more i think that there would be 2 seperate cycles for an iPhone
