Verizon Wireless will begin taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4 running on your network CDMA / EV-DO, on Thursday and will begin selling the device on February 10.
However, judging from the inquiries received in Computerworld, many potential customers are pondering the possibility of buying an iPhone from Verizon 4 or wait for the iPhone improved 5 (or whatever it's called), which is due this summer.
All the facts about prices data are presented, including the lure of Verizon unlimited data usage for $ 30 a month with a two-year contract - an agreement of AT & T no longer offers. Although there are rumors that AT & T could restore operation unlimited data, AT & T had no comment on the matter early Tuesday. Verizon will charge $ 199.99, the same price as AT & T, for the 16GB version of the device itself to users who are part of a two-year contract and data plan.
Still, readers of Computerworld and others wonder whether they should go to Verizon, which apparently offers a better service for AT & T, or wait for the iPhone 5 certainly coming this summer, probably in July?
IPhone will have five worth the wait?
The five reports iPhone could be several improvements that could be important for some users - including support for Near Field Communication, which could allow the device to be used as a mobile payment card for purchases at retail.
The list of the iPhone 5 upgrades also may include support for video chat through 4G networks and a faster processor dual-core, according to speculation from various sources - including Computerworld blogger Jonny Evans and the Hubpages website.
The iPhone 5 may also have dual radio chips, possibly allowing it to operate in multi-vendor networks such as GSM networks of AT & T and T-Mobile, and CDMA / EV-DO for Verizon and Sprint Nextel .
There is also speculation that support for an iPhone that run on faster networks LTE is farther away, possibly in a back entrance (version 6?) From Apple, but AT & T says its HSPA + is a version of GSM network faster than qualify as 4G, with speeds exceeding 5Mbit/sec. Both AT & T and Verizon are working to LTE with Verizon's effort is already underway.
How important is the carrier's network?
The fact that the iPhone 5 is on the way is not the only consideration for buyers. network coverage and consistency count.
A Computerworld Executive Secretary sent this query over Facebook on behalf of his boss, a businessman, who is still in a dilemma about buying Verizon: Would it make sense to go to the iPhone from Verizon, with a reporting service, better or stick with AT & T and the potential for an iPhone that is 5? And even then, Verizon has the iPhone can 5 in your network?
The decision tree to help the executive to decide is quite complex. The price is not a major concern for him, but there are other factors to consider. Much depends on how much better Verizon is likely in areas where their boss uses his iPhone mostly. He is based in the Los Angeles area, and neither the secretary nor his boss have reported many problems with AT & T for the iPhone there, and do not know much about the quality of service of Verizon.
Complaints about the AT & T in recent years have come primarily from users in downtown San Francisco and Manhattan. AT & T has admitted that it faced problems in those places, and began improvements to its network in more areas than a year ago.
voice connections were a major concern.
Analysts say the only way to get a reliable comparison of the two systems is the use of a cell through networks in areas where they make voice and data connections. That means that at home, at work and during your trip.
Contrary to what the companies claim in their advertisements, each network is vulnerable to congestion, depending on how many users are in a single cell tower at a time, and other factors. Help to upgrade to HSPA + and LTE, but that's not the only solution. The carriers regularly anticipate congestion and to add cell towers and antennas in densely populated areas, besides making other improvements. Yet there may be problems, including dropped calls, static and echoes.
