Even then its very unlikely, Apple is not going to redesign an iPhone to work on CDMA/GSM just to make Verizon customers happy when they are cleaning up quite nicely with AT&T. 1 million iphone 3gs sold in its first week means it will be with AT&T for a looooong time. 😁

Redesign? What are you talking about? They can use nearly the same design/OS and just have it recognize the CDMA chipset instead of the GSM. You make something that carriers such as HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, and, to an extent, Nokia have been doing for a LONG time sound financially unprofitable.

Its is for Apple, they would have to redesign how its made to make it work for CDMA. The reason all those other companies have similar phones that work on almost all the networks is because in the design process they make the same model but designed for each carrier's network. Apple didn't do that so it would cost them some serious coin to go ahead and do that. Its not a flip of the switch to have it done. Also since they are making some serious bank with AT&T it makes little sense to waste the time and energy to sour their relationship with AT&T.

You're acting like the Qualcomm's CDMA chipset will require a complete redesign of their phone which is not the case. Most of the R&D is done and all they need to do is modify their phone slightly for the CDMA chipset. The phone's casing would be similar (read most likely the same, maybe *slightly* thicker); however, the profits to be gained from it would more than be worth the endeavor. 150 million potential customers is not something to toss aside, especially for something that would cost Apple very little to venture into.

It's foolish to remain within a small box because you're doing great when you can go out into a bigger world and do even better. Apple currently has legal agreements which is keeping them confined within that small bo...

your 150 million number is quite a bit off imo. you're forgetting the economies of scale worldwide for producing the gsm version. relatively speaking, making a cdma handset for an estimated 8-10 million new U.S. subscribers (analysts estimate) may not be as profitable as you think when factoring in all of the money they made off at&t with the fees and such per device.

as soon as LTE networks start to proliferate (2012~) i think you will see exclusivity on the iphone fade and other carriers begin to offer it just like they would any other handset.

I agree. Even if Verizon starts rolling out LTE this year... they will only cover a few cities... and CDMA will be back up....

Unless VZW can convince Apple to create a LTE/CDMA hybrid, they won't be getting it. They will have to wait until they have a nationwide LTE network.

The rest of the world (including AT&T) will be having LTE with GSM backup coverage. I think that will be the path Apple takes.

Last I check, by offering a CDMA variant, they will reach out to over 150 million additional potential customers worldwide, and could easily do CDMA/Quad-Band GSM/Tri-Band HSDPA as seen with the Storm, Tour, and Ozone). Verizon will be more than likely to compromise with Apple on the UI to have such a powerful phone on their network.

Actually I can think of a few illegal activities you can do on "your" phone. You could call someone and threaten their life, you can browse child porn from your device, you could call in a bomb threat. So just because you own the phone doesn't make it all gloves off. Also at the time you start service for a phone with a carrier if the carrier in their contract tells you that they have rights to terminate service if you try to unlock the iPhone, for instance, you have no recourse to have the $175 waived.

and who/where exactly are these 150M potential customers? I hope you're not counting South America, cuz they are only using EVDO for data cards, while simultaneously deploying very aggressively their UMTS networks. CDMA was big in South America, but these carriers no longer carry CDMA phones, only data cards so that they don't overload UMTS networks.

And you cant switch the phones without calling customer care. I hear about CDMA, but its only a states thing. GSM is the world, every where in the world uses it. I was with T-mobile over there, I tried T-mobile here, but went to AT&T. I think AT&T has a larger better GSM coverage than T-mobile.

The point is that, compared to GSM, CDMA is the newer, more advanced airlink.

CDMA, as implemented in North America, does lack SIM cards. But CDMA maintains compatibility w/ AMPS, the North American analog standard, and that helped CDMA develop a dramatic coverage advantage over GSM in North America. The CDMA coverage advantage is especially prominent in the American West, where ...

That has to be the biggest line of bull I have ever read. AT&T a GSM provider has the largest 3G coverage and also one of the first to implement the HSDPA network which is capable of 7.2 mbps. International travel for US customers is a huge part of AT&T business, in fact if we lost the iPhone (unlikely) we wouldn't sink as far as you might think due to our international travel plans. So I enjoy the funny paragraph you posted with incorrect information but our coverage is excelent and we can still allow our customers to travel internationally.

Apparently you just enjoy seeing your name multiple times on the forums...but you talk about things you do not have any real knowledge of. If you look at an overlay of the At&t 3G coverage map when compared to either Sprint or Verizon...it is truly sad. At&t does have roughly 1/10 of the coverage of Verizon with 3G...thusly why Verizon claims the largest 3G wireless network. At&t has their 7.2 HSDPA network in 1 small area of Chicago, but that 1 spot allows them to claim the fastest since it is currently the fastest in the US. Starting at the end of this year and the beginning of the next when Verizon starts rolling out their LTE network...At&t will have nothing to claim...not fastest, not largest, not the most reliable...just "hey...we have...

I have access to our coverage map and our 3G coverage is quite extensive, more than 1/10th of that of Verizon's.

Near the bottom is a button to click on that compares Verizon't 3G to At&t's 3G coverage. Looks like about 1/10th to me. In your original post you said "AT&T a GSM provider has the largest 3G coverage." Here is the proof that you speak without knowing what you are talking about. At&t is not planning on rolling out 4G next year. The HSDPA 7.2 is considered 3.5G at best. You have obviously been served a big old glass of At&t Kool-Aid and you drank it up.

HSDPA 3.6 yes...HSDPA 7.2 no. Just because a phone is capable of HSDPA does not make it compatible with the higher speed. The iphone has a new chipset in it that will allow it to access the faster speed. Not all of the phones you offer are compatible with the new system. These are things I would expect a rep working for At&t to know...not to have to learn it on a forum. The point is...you don't have a "diverse" offering of phones capable of the faster HSDPA 7.2...but they are coming I'm sure. The same will be true of LTE when it is rolled out. There will be 1 or 2 devices capable of using the new network...and then they will roll out very quickly.

No, the map is accurate. It is a known fact that VZW (nee ALLTEL) has EV-DO carrier channel(s) deployed in OKC. It is also a known fact that EV-DO covers a much larger area in the US than does W-CDMA.

So, you can ask a naive question ("What's CDMA?") and then, when the facts do not fit your ill conceived notions, proceed to argue w/ those who know much more about wireless than you do. But that may prompt a question in return: "Are you British, ignorant, or just mentally retarded?"

i was talking about GSM 3G, read closer!!


W-CDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA, HSPA+ are all "GSM 3G." The previously referenced map is correct. Nationwide, "GSM 3G" coverage is a tiny shadow of that of EV-DO.

You have poor knowledge of North American wireless technology & networks. You need to acknowledge that you are in over your head in this conversation and quit talking out of your arse, ill informed Brit.

Ya know, less than 5% of Americans travel internationally so this whole "worldwide" stuff really is irrelevant to a lot of people. 🙄
