[UnknownPleasures]

Engadget's live blog of the Verizon iPhone event

Announced tomorrow, available before Valentines Day.

Anyone interested/going to pick one up?

If it has LTE, I think I'm bout it.

If the newest lines of Android phones didn't bore the shit out of me, then I wouldn't even be remotely interested.

Yeah, its an iPhone but the huge developer support it has is the only thing that makes me want to go back.

All it needs is a good GPS app or better/Android equivalent Google Maps.

Thank god!

Love my droid x. But it's always nice to have options. And now iphone snobs can kiss their exclusivity goodbye. Damn snobby bitches.

You're probably right, but I almost feel like Verizon wouldn't let them create one that was not since that is their huge push with smartphones right now after CES.

If this is just a CDMA iPhone 4, then I am almost sure the iPhone 5 will be CDMA/LTE compatible.

I will probably be getting one, I am due for an upgrade and I definitely intend to step up to a smart phone. Also, I hate every android phone available with Verizon right now. I love the Android OS I just don't like the selection of smart phones currently available on the market.

I'm due for an upgrade too, as of december. My droid is getting super sluggish compared to the newer android phones, idk if I want to just get whatever verizon calls the Evo or if i want to pick up a new iphone when it comes out

[UnknownPleasures]

IMO, the Incredible is the best Android phone Verizon has.

Was when it first came out and still is. Best screen and camera of any phone they got.

This will change with the iPhone however. The camera is amazing.

So only one company has had complete monopoly on iphones in the states? That's pretty fucking shitty. You can get an iphone at pretty much every single mobile phone provider over here, there's like 7 or 8 of them.

This new iphone supposed to be different than the iphone 4? I love mine, seriously I don't see how anyone could not like the iphone.

For 5 years I have been with AT&T not once did getting an iPhone cross my mind.
So many better android phones. Plus the support and developers behind android is HUGE.

However I will give the iPhone 1 thing... quality, the metal on the side and the build quality is really well made.
However, I will not trade my Galaxy S for it.

AT&T has had an exclusive contract with Apple since the first iphone was released, even though Verizon is the largest (and best imo) provider in the nation.

Not really...

Software and software feautre wise, yes.

There still isn't a phone (on the market) that has a more powerful CPU and GPU (performance wise) set than the iPhone 4.

The Galaxy S line comes close, but TouchWiz fucked that all up.

[*crooked*]

if the touch screen is just as good as the att one and has the same features i will get it

What are you talking about both the Galaxy S and the Iphone 4 use a4 and a8processor. They are the same exact thing. They are both modified a8's, CPU are the same. The difference is the GPU, and in this case Galaxy S and iPhone both have intergreated GPU's (from what I know of, don't know much about the Iphone). However they are not disclosed as far as I know. I have seen benchmarks for the galaxy S but none for the iPhone.

Now if we talk about the Nexus S, it has it's own deticated GPU, and that is something else.

Basically they both have licenses to use ARM. Which means they both overclock/ implement ideas to gain more power. They are the same chip, a modified a8.

touchwizz is just an interface. I personally like it, however I have rooted my phone and can flash it if need be to gingerbread. Just like the iPhone can be broken into to use facetime away from wifi.

I knowz all of this.

What I was saying is, out of the box, the GS series is a lag fest. Not so much after you root/flash a rom.

Believe me, I have many hours logged on XDA. First was with a Vibrant, now with a DInc.
