Share

Today, Apple suppliers have released information confirming a CDMA iPhone is coming, with information suggesting that Apple will begin manufacturing the devices in December. Apple is expected to make 3 million devices during the month in order to support a early 2011 launch. Although both Verizon and Sprint use CDMA networks, it is pretty apparent that it will be Verizon receiving the iPhone, as they have the largest network and many rumors had already suggested that the iPhone would go to Verizon.

At this point in time, it is unclear whether there will be an specification changes to the new iPhone, but one could expect the antenna issue to be fixed. There are not many more details known, but it will be interesting to see how Android phones fare with this news. Now finally people will be able to enjoy an iPhone on a network other than AT&T, and who knows, maybe we will end up with an even better iPhone.

A new HTC slider phone has hit the FCC, and has created quite a buzz around it. The reason for the buzz is that the device is a dual mode cdma/gsm phone, something very rare in phones. The benefit to having this in a phone is that it makes it easier for people travel and take their phone with them.

The phone appeared with the Verizon labeling and a slide out qwerty keyboard, with little known about its under the hood specifications. It is known however that the device has a 4 inch screen, and meets the rumored specifications for Android 3.0.


This is expected to be yet another solid phone from HTC, but are consumers going to get tired of the 4+ inch designs on every phone?
