The iPhone will be available with Verizon Wireless

Earlier this month, Verizon Wireless announced that it will be adding the iPhone to its roster. What does this mean? It means that after February 10, 2011, the iPhone 4 will be available to all Verizon Wireless customers starting at $199. Pre-ordering online will start February 3. A data package will need to be purchased also, but the price was not available yet.

Here's a few FAQ's.

1. Will it be be CDMA or LTE? CDMA is the 3G network, and LTE is the 4G network. Unfortunately, the iPhone 4 will run on the CDMA interface, only providing slower 3G speeds.

2. Will it have a mobile hotspot capability? Yes! It can share its 3G speed with up to 5 wireless devices.

3. Can you transfer an existing iPhone to Verizon? No. AT&T uses a different interface than that of Verizon, therefore the transfer is impossible.

4. Does the new Verizon model fix the iPhone's antenna problem? Yes and no. Apple has already fixed the antenna problems in the later editions of the iPhone 4, and this change will carry over to Verizon's model. So as far as I'm concerned, the antenna problem is fixed.
