wasn't the original iPhone de for 5 years. I was expecting 2012, not 2010. That means we will now see a CDMA iPhone sooner than previously thought. The whole $199 iPhone thing real did have an affect on the contract. This is good news for all the people who didn't want to switch to AT&T. Now u only got to wait 2 years instead of 4.

Exactly... seems to me like Ma Bell did the giving up. It was explicitly stated that it was a 5 year exclusive beginning in 2007. This is Apple leveraging it's power in controlling the most desirable mobile device on the planet.

Verizon is moving towards LTE (GSM evoulution) In the US, so CDMA will be limited to Sprint by 2012.

By then we'll hopefully see an iPhone that can be used on either network

Highly Ranked

I would love to see a CDMA or LTE iPhone - I'm sick of the LG garbage VZW peddles.
