iPhone 4 soon be available on Verizon Wireless CDMA network

Verizon Wireless finally made the long-awaited announcement that it will sell a version of the iPhone 4 from Feb. 10. By the launch of iPhone 4 with Verizon, U.S. iPhone buyers will get a  choice of carriers for the first time. Pre-orders for existing Verizon customers will starts from Feb. 3 2011 and the price will be $200 or $300 with a two-year contract.
According to Verizon, “Verizon cellular will sell its own version of the iPhone 4, which will work on Verizon’s CDMA-based 3G network. Unfortunately the first version of the phone won’t work outside the U.S. ; it probably won’t carry a special chip that can turn it into a “world phone.”
Verizon’s iPhone 4 is identical in form and function to AT&T’s but has one feature AT&T’s does not: It can act as a portable Wi-Fi “hot spot” connecting up to five laptops or other devices to Verizon’s 3G service through Wi-Fi. It’s a feature that’s been offered on other smart phones, usually for an added monthly fee
