[citation][nom]damiano13mg[/nom]Why would any carrier want to carry a phone that has such reception issues and then have it compete against its droid and other smart-phone devices makes no sense. Let the doomed iphone4 stay with at&t. Maybe an iPhone5 would be a better choice for the carriers, knowing they would have a functional device, especially since CDMA only uses 2 frequencies instead of the GSM's 4.[/citation]
Verizon is a business, the more great phones they have the more customers stay with the company. Also, this article clearly says that it will have a different antenna setup. It is not like Verizon makes the phones they sell. They make money on some of them and others they done, they sell them to get more contracts. I know a ton of people that bought the IPhone 4 and plan on jumping ship from At&t to move to Verizon once it is available. I know another ton that are just keeping their current IPhones until Verizon gets it and then will upgrade. People are dissatisfied with AT&T's service more than the device.
