Verizon iPhone - thoughts?

Soooo it's been floating around for a while now that Verizon would release an iPhone, and it was announced today... Things worth noting is that no current case will fit on it, its CDMA w/ EVDO only (no LTE), which also means no GSM for global use. There's also a wifi tethering option available - although with CDMA, not only is sharing EVDO with 5 other devices slow - they all lose data when you're in call.

Oh, you need to rebuy the iPhone 4 if you're moving from AT&T. All seems rather backwards considering its Apple.. Thoughts? Personally I think you're stupid if you go from GSM/UMTS to CDMA.. :P

    Makes no difference to me, it's pretty much GSM all the way here in the UK (though I think orange has some CDMA transmitters as well).

    Can't say much more here.

    All I can say is that I wish I had Verizon service with the CDMA technology. ATT out here just sucks. Period. I get 3g when I'm outside, Verizon users get 3+ bars inside.

    I have always respected Verizon's awesomeness when it comes to network connectivity. I just wish it would be worth the move overall.

    In my experience, (working as a sales rep for a Verizon retailer, and using both the GSM and CDMA networks), Verizon's network seems to be superior than AT&T's. Many people moved from Verizon to AT&T mainly because of the iPhone. Now that the iPhone is on Verizon's network, everyone is moving back to the superior network. They get the best of both worlds: the iPhones that they can't live without, and the network that they love.

    But perhaps I'm completely wrong...

    I wouldn't say that I love Verizon, but I love the fact that I actually get service in my home without leaning out a window.
