iPhone to Sprint, Never?

FIN

So my question is this....


Apple wanted a global market access, thus chose ATT, Verizon will have that oppertunity with LTE 4G, and thats why Apple is interested in a verizon iPhone.

I suppose they're never will be a sprint CDMA version of the iPhone, But how about a Sprint iPhone for the WiMax 4G network?


Thank you.

you would think WiMax Being a new 4G standard would be appealing for apple to launch an iPhone on?

In the mean time, I guess the best we can do is a ipod Touch.

I would get AT&T again, but AT&T just does not do as well as sprint in my Area, which is the northern suburbs of Denver.

Does anyone know why, or why wouldn't Apple put an iPhone on WiMax?

Thank you.

Because WiMax is not being used as much as LTE is. If apple makes a product, you know they will want to make money off of it. Thats why Verizon is going to get the iPhone with 4G at the start of 10.

you know that makes sense!

But would say WiMax would get it after LTE? if not... Why is sprint launching WiMax and not LTE as their 4G network?

sprint seems to try hard to make incorrect decisions when it comes to technology.

Yes!

I see WiMax is going to be like HD DVD, and LTE is going to be like Blu Ray.

WiMax will die due to lack of support.

Yeah you guys are right 🤣 Google, Comcast and Sprint are all idiots when it comes to investing $$. Just hold on to your skirts when the network is launched, partnerships will be made. 😎

EV-DV anyone? Well they recovered from that bit of arrogance in time to launch EV-DO. I think they will be just fine with this Wi-Max. If it doesn't work out they will scramble to convert to LTE just as they did with EV-DO. At least, I hope so... The less competition there is in the wireless arena the worse it is for consumers in the long run.

Dude.....you spew nothing but speculation and incorrect garbage.

First off, Verizon will start test markets for LTE in 2010, much like what Sprint has been doing in Baltimore and Portland with Wimax...

Which leads to my next point....LTE won't even be ready for a 4G Iphone, because LTE won't even BE READY NATIONWIDE!

Lastly, Apple and AT&T have an exclusivity agreement through 2011....SO NO, VERIZON WONT BE GETTING A 4G IPHONE IN 2010. 👿

Why are you so dumb? WHY! Press the big red X at the top of your screen...NOW!

1st. Verizon ALREADY is testing LTE in markets and WILL have it out in Dec. of 09 to Jan or 10.

McAdam did confirm that a tiny group of VZW testers would have access to 4G this year, with one "pre-commercial" network per US coast being activated during 2009.

We will have 20-30 markets LIVE with LTE in the 2H of 10.

Can you guarantee it with your life? Don't think so, thats just a guesstimate given by developers... what happens if they run into a bump in the road.

I'm so dumb.....wow. You are original. And Endgadget posting a snippet of Mcadam's quote is now the gospel, huh? Original post was talking about an Iphone on Sprint, in the Sprint forum...

And Apple did NOT make a new agreement with AT&T. And the iPhone will have 4G LTE, 1X/EVDO CDMA, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS data.

Where do you get all of this data? Seriously? You spout off with SPECULATION, NOT FACTS.

And the ORIGINAL agreement with At&t was through 2011.

So where did you get all of this insider info bamaboy? I didn't realize you folks down in Alabama and Louisiana were privy to such sensitive data. Must be the new Silicon Valley!

Last I checked, Apple just had a MAJOR day releasing statements about what is to come and they didn't say jack $hit about a Verizon or CDMA Iphone. Have fun with your POS Blackberry Storm. The Kmart Blackberry!
