Verizon iPhone

maria — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:32:55 +0000

A source who claims to have handled prototypes of the rumored Verizon iPhone revealed some of its new features to DVICE. Chief among them: a new antenna, which will be a relief to anyone wary of getting an iPhone 4 because of “Antennagate.”

From the source, who has seen and played with the varying Verizon iPhone prototypes over the last few months, it appears the Verizon iPhone will have an internal antenna, at Verizon’s wise insistence. That means no death grip problems and a new, more rugged exterior. There’s a small possibility the exterior will be constructed from the new alloy licensed exclusively by Apple for mobile devices, though that’s unlikely for this device.

The phone will have a screen larger than the iPhone 4, probably the same size (3.7 inches) as on the Droid 2. Whether it will be a Retina display is still a question, but we’d have to guess yes.

Finally, it will have a faster processor, probably the 1.2GHz chip that has been the topic of recent debate.

Taking all this into account, there’s definitely one thing the Verizon iPhone won’t be: an iPhone 4

AT&T Delays Walk-In Sales Of iPhone 4

maria — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:15:47 +0000

If you pre-ordered your iPhone 4, congratulations! You might be getting it as soon as now. If you didn’t preorder, though, you’re going to have to wait until June 29th to get one from AT&T.

It’s certainly not surprising that the date’s been pushed back, particularly given what a mess the pre-ordering system was and that they sold out in less than a day.

In the meantime you can head over to Wal-Mart, RadioShack and Best Buy locations on June 24th and try your luck there.
