Think about this though, maybe this is already a cdma version. There is no restrictions on Apple saying that they cant make a cdma prototype.

Ummmm, NO it wouldn't be a stretch. Apple could have been working on a CDMA/LTE versions for quite some time now. And tell me anyway, what's so difficult about it? Just swap out chipsets, tweak the hardware, and voila! You have a CDMA/LTE iPhone. I think this would be the year Apple really pulls out a lot a of the stops in the new iteration of the iPhone anyway, seeing as the Android market is really shaping up, and other manufacturers are catching on to good touchscreen technology. I'll be interested to see what's in store...and hoping that it makes its way to VZW, in one shape or another. If it doesn't, no big deal, I'll just go with one of the many other Android handsets "to be released" on VZW this year. Either way, I think 2010 is going to be a big year for the smartphone market, and consequently, an even better on for us consumers!

Oh and who has 4G now and who has not been bashing the Iphone in their commercials and who gets phones first and who is changing and setting new standards in pricing (because no one else is doing it only testing) S P R I N T!!!!!!!!!!

Its not 4g, 4g (lte) is 100mbs, while wimax is only peaks at 40. Plus it uses wifi

I'll still enjoy my 4G phone while you wait(1+years) oh and when they finaly get lte it still will be a while before it has good coverage

WiMax is capable of speeds up to 100mbs and Clearwire has already promised to bring those advances to its entire network by 2012.

im not %100 positive but didnt they find a way to convert and expand LTE network a lot faster than 3G?

Not only that, VZW has announced that its LTE will peak at 12mbs so there is not much difference in b/n what Sprint 4G offers and what VZW will offer in terms of speed. The only difference is Sprint can offer it Now while VZW is vaporware.

I've explained this many of time for regular readers. Both technologies are capable of up to 100mb/sec. With software updates bandwith will achieve those speeds when devices are ready and can handle it. Most current browsers in even computers are not even capable of showing or displaying speed differences. For example: ESPN.COM is going to load at the same speed at time if you have a current home connection of 8MB or 20MB cause of the content which is heavy is not even close for those speeds. The page would load on either connection in less than half a second. Handsets do not even have the hardware other than connection speed to load pages that quick. Even if they are getting 12MB consistantly. It will mostly be for people who are downloading/uploading content. So as time goes on and phone hardware improves, they will increase speed as needed. I mentioned before peak rates we were getting with chipsets in the SF Bay Area (San Jose) with a couple carriers. Another note: CDMA designers were hired at apple and they had job postings over a year ago. Why does Apple need CDMA designers if they are so "hardcore" GSM/HSPA? Some of our CDMA designers left our company to leave to work for Apple. Co-ink-e-dink? I think not. They have something up they're sleeves.

Sprint's small network pretty much excludes them from the iPhone at this point.

enjoying your 4g phone where? you live in the four blocks of baltimore that have it or maybe in the 8 blocks in philly? stfu your enjoying nothing but crappy sprint service and double taxes from the ONLY company that has their own taxes on top of FCC!

Sprint is also going bankrupt.

Sprint only offers 4g because they are childish and wanted to "be ahead of their competition". What they really did is speed up the process so much to where their network is crap. Most phones arent even 4g capable.
