Just trying to stir some things up A?

Ah, but in all those other countries -- and even in the US, until today -- those phones were all, for all intents and purposes, identical. Right? An iPhone 4 from the US could be taken to the UK or Japan or China or Australia and it would work in any of those places, once an appropriate SIM was installed.

The viPhone has different hardware -- namely, it uses CDMA instead of GSM. It's a different phone. You can't switch it over to AT&T or any of those other carriers, just as you couldn't switch an iPhone over to Verizon.

It deserves a different name.

CDMA iPhone 4
GSM iPhone 4

wow that was hard

You are quite clearly delusional.

You sir are quite clearly an infantile douchebag. Had AT&T since first iPhone and can count on one hand my dropped calls or lack of 3g. Your particular problems, mental or service wise, are not everyones problem or lack there of.

 

[asleep]

What about VeriPhone.

That's the accepted name.

 

[JD914]

I deal with enough iPhone setups for clients that I don't want to have to keep distinguishing between the two phones by saying "Verizon iPhone" or "AT&T iPhone" -- their differences are subtle, but important. So I'm curious as to what anyone else thinks about using the name "viPhone" (pronounced "vigh-phone") to describe the new Verizon iPhone -- it's no harder to say than "iPhone" but the "v" tells you it's different.

That's an asinine idea

Lazy Americans......

Canada: #1 at being just north of the United States.

 

[Theclamshell]

You're a D.

Hahahahha

......and hockey. You forgot hockey.

Eh.

 

[Infraggable Kru]

And lots more syllables. Obviously you have missed the point.

Your original complaint is that you would have to call them Verizon or at&t iphones. This assumptution is incorrect, those are mobile carriers, the two different phones are different hardware. I missed your point... because you really didn't have a valid one to begin with in the first place

Unless your point is that you're too lazy to call the phones what they really are, one is a GSM iPhone 4, the other is a CDMA iPhone 4

......and hockey. You forgot hockey.

Eh.

and RIM

oops, sorry. sure that will work out for 'ya.

 

[possumwater]

Effin Eh! I'd call it the VeriPhone or the VeriFone When I lived in Okinawa Japan, Vodafone was who I was with for a while... If I move back, I'll surely call it the VodiPhone.

 

[draz]

iPhone 4C ?

C stands for CDMA... haha

AT&T's phone will remain the iPhone 4... until this summer when the 5 arrives then depending on what Apple calls it we can maybe slap a G and a C at the end of each device to distinguish them.
