Verizon iPhone doesn't have logos on the back

Probably because it's a preproduction demo.
It makes sense that there wouldn't be a "CE" logo since I doubt any CDMA iphones are going to EU. But the FCC logo missing would be kind of interesting.

Sure your phone doesn't have them? Doesn't that Palm Pre have a removable battery? Check in that area (under the battery).
take a look under your battery...
they have to be somewhere on the phone where the user can see them, but they can be covered by a user removable battery or battery door. On the iPhone, they have to be on the outside, because the user can't get inside the device
Wow thats interesting. I would love to know if the Verizon iPhone doesn't have any of the logos on the back.
No it won't.
Andy Inhako of the Chicago SunTimes (and Co-host of MacBreak Weekly) explains why in this video at the very beginning.

Thanks for this. So since its just for the US market only they don't need show all those international certifications. Cool.
Which means if they are the same sized back piece (which im sure they are) Att customers will be able to buy it and switch their current one with all the logos and crap out. Sounds good to me.
I was thinking the same thing, but knowing Apple, I'm sure they're going to move these pins around so that it won't be possible.
(patiently awaits an iFixIt teardown)
Yes the new Verizon iphone is not going to be able to be used internationally unlike the ATT version.... And I have not heard any thing as to what Verizon plans to do.... Oh well.....
I just figured the aforementioned pictures had something to do with the fact that the phone was most likely announced before it had FCC approval. If i'm not mistaken, the reason Apple announced the original iPhone in advanced of it's actual available date for purchase was because going through the FCC for the approval process would have publicly acknowledged and made its existence known before Apple/AT&T would have a chance to unveil it themselves.
