For thos who don't know, CDMA is the wireless network Verizon, US Cellular, and a few others run on. GSM is what Cingular and T-Mobile use.
It seems that AT&T is now successful to secure the iPhone exclusivity deal for a longer period. AT&T’s service has always been an issue with most of the iPhone users but Apple seems to be quite content with the service. That’s why, when Tim Cook (and Peter Oppenheimer) were asked that whether Apple will continue with AT&T or not, he seemed quite positive about the deal with AT&T.
Quote:We view AT&T as a very good partner, the best wireless provider in the U.S. Very happy to do business with them. They have done a good job with the iPhone. We have no plans to change it. Technically, Verizon is on CDMA. We decided to focus on one phone for the entire world, which means you have to go down the GSM route. CDMA doesn't have a life after a certain point in time.
Regarding the Verizon- that is all about CDMA- rumors, he said that they ‘decided’ to focus the phone for the entire world and that “CDMA doesn't have a life after a certain point in time”.
It seems that all those lawsuits based on service issues aren’t going to affect Apple as compared to their huge quarterly sales of iPhone and that Verizon doesn’t have any chance to bag the iPhone even in 2011...
