Smartphone wars just got interesting - Verizon iPhone

Verizon Wireless and Apple have announced a CDMA iPhone. http://www.engadget.com/apple/verizon-iphone/[^] This is huge for iPhone and potentially may steal the momentum from Windows Phone 7 (if there was any) and Android.

Just another phone. No big deal. Apple fans will find it great though. My touch works just fine for me.

Funny - I told my colleagues back in 2007 when the iPhone was announced originally, that Apple screwed up. They could have had the whole smartphone market to themselves easily. All they had to do was not be exclusive to one carrier. Even if that meant not allowing subsidized handsets, they could have gotten market share and Android would have been an afterthought. Instead, Steve made the same blunder he made back in the 90s with tying the Apple OS to the Apple hardware. Now there are more Android handsets than iPhones. For me personally, I have a Droid on Verizon and will wait until I can get the iPhone with LTE support. No sense in changing when the iPhone 5 will be out/announced in the June/July timeframe.

I think an Android phone with 4G LTE support is the way to go for power users.

It won't have that much of an impact. Android has too much momentum and far more products. Everyone who really "needed" an iPhone already got one and are now locked into to a contract with AT&T. What was that other phone you mentioned? :-D

One interesting thing I heard in the radio this morning is Apple usually does a 1 year update cycle, so AT&T will have their iPhone updates in the Summer while Verizon will have to wait until next Spring to offer the same thing

I find that highly unlikely. That sort of huge delay would cripple sales with VZW. Launching the first well off cycle is simply a way to reduce absorb the initial demand surge when ATT demand is running low because anyone with any sense is waiting until the new model is out to upgrade.
