Pegatron to Deliver CDMA iPhone 4s to Apple in Q4?

[ChocolateOne]

Did all of us Verizon fans and what not forget that Verizon's LTE network will be data only like Sprint's WiMax network?

So, CDMA will be around as the fallback network for sometime for Verizon. CDMA won't be improving, but it won't just stop anytime soon.

And as for Apple expanding in the US . . . it's obvious that AT&T can't handle the load being put on it by the iPhone, so Apple's either going to have to make their iPhone suffer under the weight of a crappy network, or give what I'd assume to be half of AT&T's iPhone users what they want and put the iPhone on another network.

Lol! This is a funny statement....

Holy crap! I just went and got an evo from sprint. All I got to says is wow! I had original iPhone 2g on AT&T. Then to verizon for storm. Waiting on iPhone. Gave up and went to sprint today to check it out. And left with an evo. I'm very impressed

I am glad you are since I am looking to pick up that phone as well. I would have never jumped ship that much though since there's always going to be a new latest greatest phone on someone's network.

Uhm can you tell me how Apple will fit another Antenna, Radio chip and controller into the iPhone 4?

The same why world phones from Verizon and Sprint have three or more antennae. Much like the Treo 600 from almost 6 years ago had tri-band and a host of features the iPhone 4 still doesn't have.

I've got an Imagio, which is about the same size as an iPhone 3GS. Except it has CDMA + GSM + FloTV and a WVGA screen. If HTC can do it (and so does Samsung and RIM), then Apple could too.

For the millionth time, neither money nor technology is stopping Apple from making a CDMA phone. Every other manufacturer does... even tiny Palm.

It is a contractual / political decision alone.

I agree and wish people would see past their boundaries on tech. I really think it's an age thing, where they've never been around or able to buy a phone in 2000 so tech like that never existed in their minds.

My first phone from Sprint, not first cell phone, was a cheap blue bean looking phone from LG that was tri-band GSM and CDMA.

And a quick Wiki search for the Palm Treo will show many that Palm had far more tech and features in the Treo 600 circa 2003 than the iPhone 3GS . . . wireless syncing via bluetooth and wifi being one of them.
