Class Action Lawsuit Over iPhone Exclusivity Certified
This Proves...
Apple will blame AT&T for network issues and AT&T will blame Apple for reception issues.
While both have legitimate points, the ultimate loser in the end will be AT&T. Apple will have to offer up their product to other carriers, and AT&T will experience churn.
Perception becomes reality and the reality is that iphone users want their "Perfect" phone on a more perfect network. Regardless of what deficiencies are tagged with either brand.

I could be wrong but I believe you can talk and use data on Sprints "not really 4G but were gonna call it 4G anyway*" network where it is available.
*4G service is 100MBS, Sprint is calling their network 4G not because it is 100MBS but because it is the 4th generation of data radio's they have placed in select markets. The network isn't yet capable of producing anything near true 4G network speeds. IMO it's one of the single most deceitful marketing campaigns EVER
Have you tried T-Mobiles 3G network yet? It. is. sick.
Sprint's data is unlimited, Cheaper & 4G! & about the 4G, I believe both LTE & WiMAXX were both rated at 100 Megs but in the real world it doesn’t work that way.
Also, don't be surprised if WiMAXX don't get faster when LTE is launched next year. Sprint has no reason to crank the volume right now because were it's at its still 3x faster than 3G.
I understand with EVDO we cannot talk & use the web, but FYI, my Hero that is rooted to use the Wifi Tether, I can tether & talk simultaneously...

I have to be honest with you man, I didn't and I will not read anything after the part where you said "you guys are idiots"
peace.
go back to your happy little troll life somewhere else.
While 4G service may have initially been outlined as 100Mbs, ATT and TMO will follow suit into the speed misrepresentation. The "G" stands for generation and that is exactly what all this is. The Fourth Generation of Wireless Broadband Service.
Incidently, VZW will not have anywhere near 100Mbs either. In fact, the speed variation between WiMAX and LTE will be minimal. Everyone or political party has their beliefs on...

2) We talk and surf the web on the EVO all of the time (voice on CDMA and data on WIMAX)
3) The air interface of AT&T and T-Mobile's 3G product is a form of CDMA
The reason that iPhone traffic would shut down Verizon and T-Mobile is a bandwidth issue, they don't have as much as AT&T. If you include Clear's bandwidth with Sprint's then they have way more than anyone else.
Apple could develop an iPhone for Veizon with a 1x radio for voice and text and a EVDO radio for data that work simultaneously.
The real problem AT&T faces is that the iPhone uses more bandwidth for everything and so it robs network resources form other users.

Honestly no other network can give you what you want on the iPhone. Verizon and sprint runs an old CDMA network and not gsm. You want to see a slow iPhone that can't multitask through the network put millions of users on the verizon or sprint network. It will shut them down.
...I don't beleive that, in fact, how can we tell for sure if there's no CDMA iPhone?
Apple makes good quality products... it's hard to imagine that they would rely on AT&T to get their product on the market. What if AT&T was out of the picture??? Pretty sure Apple would make his product work (just like other phone makers) with these CDMA networks and try to find the perfect relation between phone/network (just like other ...

Pretty sure Apple would make his product work (just like other phone makers) with these CDMA networks and try to find the perfect relation between phone/network (just like other phone makers have been doing). My point... Apple, being the company that it is, with quality products... will make the same quality products to get their porduct on the market=SALES!
Apple might make good products but the iPhone is flawed! AT&T is taking the ...

Are you telling me I own an iPhone? ...NO, do I prefer an iPhone? ...NO, am I an Apple fan? ...NO, am I judging AT&T or Apple? ...absolutely NO. Defending the iPhone was not what I wrote about... I was replying to another post (which was saying that the iPhone couldn't work on another network [like Sprint 'S', Verizon 'VZN']) and I find that hard to believe, considering Apple being the company that it is.
As far as iPhone goes... honestly, it is probably the most popular phone WORLDWIDE, the UI is the best there is, runs smoothly, very organic, human-like. You may have gotten a defective one.
If I'm not mistaken... before the iPhone, candy-bar shape phones with huge screens ...

GSM first went online in 1991 in Finland and CDMA was first commercially available in 1995. What are you calling old?
Jimi Hendrix released a 'new' album in 2010 (Valleys of Neptune) but many of the songs on it were actually recorded before his previous albums.
CDMA was deployed commercially after GSM but it is actually an older technology that was developed before GSM.
It wasn't made commercially available until 1995, largely due to European regulations which mandated TDMA/GSM based technologies be employed in order to ensure compatibility across the continent.
GSM originated with TDMA during the 1960's and 1970's.
CDMA is actually an older form of technology.

cdmaOne/CDMA2000 is distinct from previous versions and is not just the "same tech."
For starters, it's based on digital tech, not analog signal.
Also, because of how CDMA handles data, it would take far more cellphones to shut down a tower than it takes to shut down a GSM tower.
And ATT/Tmobile are fast, no denying that. but according to ATT'S own data plans, it doesn't expect it's users to USE that network (68% use less than 200mb a month) So reall...

...Got a great point! I must add that I know a lot of iPhone users (very pleased with their device), however MOST(not all) of them use it ONLY to make and receive calls (which agrees to AT&T statitics), maybe send texts, don't even have music/videos.
EVERY iPhone owner I've spoken to in the NYC area has sworn they'll jump ship the day the iPhone comes out on Verizon. They're that disgusted with AT&T's service.
The longer it takes for the iPhone to be available from other carriers, the more time Android has to overtake the iPhone OS. And it's catching up very fast. The HTC Incredible from Verizon is already being compared to the iPhone in all the reviews. Even AT&T is now jumping on the Android bandwagon.
Watch out Apple!
