I heard that it won't be able to use the new LTE 4G network...it will still be used on the old CDMA

Remember that Apple will release a newer version around July or August. Do you really want to jump into a two year contract now and be out of date in a few months? You guys have waited this long...what's a little bit longer?

Yesh. Well I have to wait till after C5F anyways. Got too much spending to do there.

That's correct. Basically a CDMA version of the same unit with one exception. It will have the ability to be used as a hotspot. No word on what they'll will charge for that, but knowing Verizon it won't be cheap.

I can't wait any longer, my screen is cracked on my current 3GS and I am tired of ATT. Even if I waited for the iphone 5, a year later another new one will be out lol. It costs too much money to have the newest phone since they make new ones so often. Plus when I switch back to verizon I will be back on my family plan with my parents so my bill will be at least $30-40 less.

Also remember that on Verizon you won't be able to call and use data at the same time (something I do a lot). I'm in Houston and luckily haven't had the bad experiences with AT&T many have. I now have 4 iPhone 4s in the house, and will wait for at least a year to see what happens on Verizon. All of you jumping over to Verizon should help increase AT&T's bandwidth anyway.

Well, it's really up to you brother. Be cool and get it as soon as it comes out, or tough it out for the revamped iPhone

I can't make calls from my room, I never have service, I drop calls, when I call someone sometimes it takes like a minute before it connects and starts to ring... and so on lol. I hate AT&Ts service. I had Verizon before and never had any problems, I just switched to AT&T because I wanted an iPhone. I never use the internet and call people at the same times or really use multiple things/apps at once so I think I will be ok. I am interested to see how the mobile hotspot thing works, it sounds cool.

That's weird...my g/f has Verizon and I have AT&T. I get full bars in places where she doesn't get any bars. I've never had any dropped calls and all of my calls are crystal clear.

I am not getting it just because its new and cool, I am getting it now because I can't see the bottom left part of my phone because its cracked and I have dead pixels. I can't see half of the keyboard lol.
