11:25AM Question from Ars Technica: what happens when you're on a call and need to use data?

Dan: Same as a CDMA device.

So... you don't.

Verizons network cant handle the full functionality of the iphone. Notice its the VERIZON IPHONE 4.

This phone is tailored to verizons network. If they released a phone with full functionality it would cripple verizons network. Oh wait they cant cause verizons network cant handle it.

SO HAPPY I WENT TO AT AND T

Go with the droid x

 

[JonnyJ]

truthfully i hope 90% leave att for it so the network clears up.

AT&T's Iphone is good for just about everything except making phone calls in ny. I own it but rely on it for everything but calls. Maybe this is the answer!

Forget the iPhone for verizon. They will just keep pushing it back forever. I have an incredible, and thinking about switching to the thunderbolt once that comes out. Android is much much better. I'm on my iPad right now, and if I ever had the iPhone, I'd hate it. The marketplace for apple is stupid expensive. There are really NO good apps that are free. Everything is so expensive. I hate it. My incredible has a bunch of apps and all of them are awesome, and I paid for only a few, reefs being the main one. Even simple games are usually 5-6 bucks on the apple marketplace. You can get the cool hd games on your android for either FREE or .99 cents. I use my iPad only for Internet use. And that sucks too because of no flash program. Honestly, why get a iPhone that is so limited to abilities. No customization, no widgets, no changing colors, themes, fonts, anything. iPhone came out years ago and you know what, maybe it's time for a new iPhone, but not called an iPhone. Apple needs to step it's game up with a new phone. Not another iPhone. Start getting creative. I hate the fact that you need to click and go into an app just to see the weather, or anything like that. Android, you turn the phone on and oh look! Tempature, current weather, a nice 3d action showing your whole phone for a few seconds looking like its snowing or sunny. How about a notification bar? I wish wish WISH my iPad had that. So i can at any time flick my finger down and see how just sent me a message, email, what song is playing in the background, whats currently running on my device, ANYTHING. Not have to close my current program, go into my messages or music or whatever, read it, then close that program, find my app I was using and continue after being disrupted and waist time. I love how android just came in and just distroys apple with all their creativity. Android makes a phone fun. Apple is pure business, which ok some people do like, and good for certain people, but for personal use... Android is on top. You want a REAL cool and creative new phone, read up one the new HTC thunderbolt. That phone looks amazing. Android has came out with what like 50+ phones now so you can find the right one for you...apple has what, they are up to the iPhone 4 now? Which is the same phone just slightly tweaked and upgraded....hmmmm

Haha I'm just saying, honestly what. Does the iPhone do that an android can't do and beat becides charge way too much for apps? The only thing, ONLY thing I will give them is the phone is a solid phone when it comes to feel and the front screen. And sensitivity has always been amazing, but...thats about it...

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

If you are thinking about the new iphone on verizon I would wait until the summer and see if they release another lte version. The whole cdma network is fine but to buy a phone in February then have a new one released in June or July that would be for the new updated network would be very much a let down.

+1 I'm sure that sometime in june when Apple comes out with a new Iphone verizon will have the newer version as well.

forget it , its just a phone its not that serious, these things take pictures, check calcium levels, even walk your dog walker ! but does it even make phone calls anymore??????????? when was the last time someone said , hey i got this new phone and it sounds really good!?

Haha no, been a crappy day, woke up to a cloudy tank and dead exquisite wrasse, not the happiest.

It's just one of those things that when verizon gets this phone, people will be like ohh the iPhone, everyone talks about that so it has to be good. And they are right, it is a good phone. A great phone........BUT mr android came along and did a tombstone pile driver on apple. Apple should tap out, but there dignity will not let them. Thats fine, just come out with something new. when the droid came out, everyone loved it, and now hates it. Then droid 2. Now droid global. So its almost like apple with just reduing the phone over and over... But if you don't like the droid, you have 50 or so other androids to pick from. Apple has no back ups or anyone to tag in to help out.

(don't know why I'm quoting old wwf things, just relative to the subject lol)

Sorry to hear about the wrasse. lost a flasher to carpet surfing a month ago. and yes I have a tank cover, but you know that space where the cables come through..... yep that's it, that damn Houdini fish done found the spot and planned his escape. So I've had one of the days also. Sometimes you have to sit back ,smell the coffee and hear the delightful ramblings of Cee low Green's latest song just playing in the background.

" See you swimming around on that rug I found, and I'm like f*** Y88". I hate suicidal fish, what is their mental problem?

This is true.

However -- jailbreaking alleviates expenses.

And on Android phones... you can just about usenet/torrent any app you want, and install it via Astro File Manager.. or any other file manager (don't know if there any other ones out there, been a while since I had an android device.)

I think that the LTE version of the iPhone 4 on Verizon.. won't be out till at the very least 6 months. But more likely 1 year. Verizon's LTE network will need to be "proven" before Apple jumps on it.

Whatever though -- iOS & Android are both great in their own ways.

I will say one thing though from experience -- stupid little fact really but worth sharing, I tried Angry Birds on the HTC Incredible, Droid X and the new Nexus S and iPod Touch (3rd gen) along with iPhone 4.

The game ran the smoothest on the iPod Touch and iPhone 4.

For some reason each Android version's framerate was horrible -- compared to iOS version.

However I think Angry Birds is still in Beta on Android.. but I'm interested to try if any other cross platform games run crappy on Android when compared to iOS.

Now is that a big issue? No.. well maybe depending on who you ask and what they value.

But mobile gaming is becoming better and better and more addictive... a whole new industry.

It's all about ANGRY BIRDS!
