Step 17 at iFixIt.com says the following...
Step 17
Triquint TQM613029 CDMA PA-Duplexer Module.
Avago FEM7758 Front End Module
Triquint TQM13029 CDMA PA
Atmel M88PA MCU with eFlash
Silicon Image P1U0941 HDMI Processor
Samsung KBY00U00VM NAND Flash
Um, why does it say CDMA? Shouldn't it say GSM? Is this CDMA capable? AT&T is GSM. Or is this some weird other CDMA part?
Just curious as to what I am missing. Or are they wrong? Or what?

Seriously though. Is iFixIt.com messed up or what? Cannot be CDMA right??? Unless it has BOTH CDMA and GSM?
EDIT. Now it's listed in step 16. They must be working on it now, but why CDMA? Anyone?
Will It Blend already posted a teaser video with what looks to be a fake iPhone 4 but the video is pretty funny...
the only thing i know about that chip is its the same in an evo i believe....

at&t price termination hikes/ early upgrade eligibility is making more sense now...

So there copy and paste messed up and they dropped the EVO 4G info on the iPhone 4 page? I wish some more people were online... I really want to know if this has dual GSM and CDMA? That would be the biggest news ever. I have to believe it's a mistake or it doesn't really mean CDMA, LOL.
Well I am really wondering WTF? I am looking at the large image, but when I zoom in I cannot read the exact chip number. It starts the same for sure, but this would be huge if it has GSM and CDMA. Surely Apple would have told someone or iFixIt would be jumping up and down telling the world. It has to be a mistake, or it has to mean something different, right?
Edit. Here take a gander and see if I am missing something. Now at number 16.

That's the parts list for the Sprint EVO.
Perhaps you saw an accidental placeholder page.
awesome! can't wait! 512mb
More memory doesn't make anything go faster. Either you have enough RAM to run your apps or you don't; there isn't any swap space on the iDevices so you never have the "swapping stuff in and out of RAM" issue to slow things down.

Okay, but it's still there... and I took some screenshots capturing it too.
The thing is, the photo appears to have that CDMA labeled chip? But I cannot read the full name of it.
Was too good to be true anyways.
The hands
I see the hardware but damn has the person holding the parts thought about getting a manicure? I think it should be mandatory if you're going to have closeups.

I am trying to read what the photo shows vs. what the parts list says, and they definitely look different. Wonder why nobody else has noticed it?

As a man on another man's nails, they are too perfect
Yeah, I see the list now. Wasn't there a second ago for me.
The Triquint parts are designed for EVDO.
Methinks it's a mistake in the list.
If iFixIt has identified those two chips correctly, this is a very interesting situation! Those same two Triquint CDMA chips are found in the HTC EVO, which, of course, operates in CDMA/EVDO on the Sprint network.
As Henry Gibson would say..... Verrrrry interesting!

Looking at the circuit board photo, so far I see:
- Skyworks GSM/GPRS chip.
- TriQuint power amp, could be for CDMA or WCDMA (UMTS-3G).
- BG7AX accelerometer
