what's up everyone jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here an iphone on verizon is mythical as a unicorn at this point but we may finally leave you one step closer to seeing the horn horse so bloomberg yesterday reported from two independent sources at an iphone is coming to verizon wireless in January 2011 which coincides rather perfectly both write-ins announcement of them turning on their 4g network or LTE so what does this mean well it means we actually might see an iphone with a fourth generation wireless technology in it verizon said they're going to be start selling their 4g handsets come black friday which the day after thanksgiving and sort of have the network turned on around the holiday season now holiday season is actually a time when most people buy cell phones giving out gifts that are generally cell phones people are signing new contracts so it does seem a bit odd that a phone to be announced in January while I sort of right after a big buying period so I would assume that if the phone is coming in January it'll be announced prior to the holiday shopping season which is great news and not that far away so let's talk a bit about LTE so facilities that don't know Verizon and Sprint use the wireless technology called CDMA for the current evdo and voice and data technologies 18t t-mobile and a lot of the other global standards have been called GSM the phones that have a city card our gsm phones so verizon's fourth generation LTE technology is actually gsm-based so there'd be a lot of similarities for what they would have with an AT&T iphone now AT&T is fourth generation technology is also LTE which is of course gsm-based as well so if we sort of open the door to maybe a fourth generation technology phone on both AT&T and Verizon and here's where things get a bit tricky because it can't be the same phone verizon is claimed that they are going to still be using their older cdma network for voice calls and the LTE oh just before data there still ugly have to be two radios in this alleged verizon iphone whereas if there was a fourth generation AT&T phone it could be still to gsm technology so it's still have to be two radios LTE and traditional sort of ugh type radio' in there so sort of interesting or not looking at the same phone on multiple carriers that to be a bit of a bit of a variance but I do you think choice is good and choice is good for consumers to pick whether or not which carrier they'd like to be with whether you want to go to big red or stay with AT&T big red ring verizon consumer choice is always a nice thing so the day of reckoning I finally be here we may have sort of a choice for carriers it would be able to pick where you get the best service and which carrier and data plan and prices high student you the best so what do you think about the iphone for verizon in january two thousand eleven already upset that you bought an iphone 4 are you waiting to upgrade are you going to wait and see what happens or if you had enough of these rumors you don't care anymore it's never going to happen it's just like seeing a unicorn anyway guys i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i'll see the next video bye bye
