- mogebier, on 11/08/2009, -7/+37Of course they are. They have from the beginning. They needed to create a want for one first. Every company does this. How long do you think a new product is in concept and development stage? Right now, I bet that Apple is working on the iphone version 5 and the World iphone version 2. It takes years and years to get component distribution and assembly in line to produce a product.
Or do you think they think up something and it's ready to go by Wednesday? - mountain1488, on 11/08/2009, -4/+24Why the hell would you people digg him down. Do you all have something against flash support???
- rolf, on 11/08/2009, -0/+14Exactly. Look at Duke Nukem, they spent so much time trying to make it perfect they never shipped anything. Apple made it good enough and then puts improvements on the later versions. Plus it has the nice effect business-wise of putting people on the upgrade treadmill, which pretty much defines the entire PC industry.
- ingmar, on 11/08/2009, -1/+15The sad truth is that nobody really needs CDMA any more. The sooner the US switch completely, the better for the all of us.
- Junior612, on 11/08/2009, -4/+16You all fail to realize that Verizon will no longer be using CDMA in the near future right?
Read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_Long_Term_Evolut ... - soley, on 11/08/2009, -0/+11Too little?
I thought you said it was a good size! - seantubridy, on 11/08/2009, -9/+19The last thing I want on my iPhone is Flash. Well, maybe Nickelback mp3s is the last thing. The second to last thing.
- Nerfdude, on 11/08/2009, -1/+11yes, how you look holding a phone is far more important than how well the device works.
- bingo000, on 11/08/2009, -0/+82.8" screen! I hope thats not whats in the can for the iphone next year. At least the bigger screen version should still be available alongside the smaller screen phone.
- Greg2k, on 11/08/2009, -0/+7How would adding CDMA make a "World mode" iPhone? It already is thanks to GSM, the standard more than 80% of the World uses. CDMA support would make it more attractive to the US market, but not really anywhere else.
- Khast, on 11/08/2009, -1/+8Apple...now of all the stupid things. I know it is to allow other carriers such as Verizon ect. But why should the end users pay for equipment in the phone that they could never possibly use due to the way you asshats force the phones to be locked. (Unless of course you live in a country which forbids locked phones.)
Hell, just give everyone in the world the opportunity to buy them unlocked at the full unsubsidized price, and only lock down those on contracts until the contract ends. Granted it might be more expensive, but if I decide I don't want to upgrade at the end of my contract, or every time you release a new model...why should I not have the ability to move my phone elsewhere IF I OWN IT.
I know there is the Jailbreak/Unlock, but damn, I should not have to go through that to unlock my phone. If I own it, I can do whatever I damn well please within legal reason, without your approval. - pika2000, on 11/08/2009, -0/+7Huh? The iPhone is already a world phone. It's quad-band GSM/HSDPA. I hope this means Apple will finally sell the iPhone unlocked in the US, that's a TRUE worldphone. Who cares about CDMA? Verizon themselves already said they're moving to LTE (same with AT&T). The world uses GSM and HSDPA, not CDMA/EVDO.
Again Apple, simply sell unlocked iPhones (just like what you've been doing in other countries), and see your sales number going further up. - Junior612, on 11/08/2009, -0/+6My Storm had CDMA/GSM with a larger screen than my iPhone.
- jv2k, on 11/08/2009, -2/+8The only time you ever hear people complaining about flash is in these digg articles where people hate on it.
Doesn't the hero have flash capabilities? Don't some Nokia phones?
I don't hear any complaints from owners for those phones.
If the iphone had flash and android didn't I'm sure the flash hate would be a lot less in these topics. - cspyr0, on 11/08/2009, -3/+9Why are so many of you against getting flash? If you're worried about it draining the battery, disable it! All it would mean is that you'd have the ** option ** of using flash when you wanted - and more options is a good thing.
- rizzo2008, on 11/08/2009, -22/+28And while they are at it flash support?
- reticulate, on 11/08/2009, -1/+6As long as I can get adblock for mobile safari as well.
Otherwise no dice. - Qumahlin, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Yes, they currently support "Flash Lite" which is akin to not supporting flash at all as you have about zero chance of a site you frequent actually using Flash Lite.
- BossKey, on 11/08/2009, -0/+5I'm a Mac user and yeah, Flash is "nifty" but at the expense of a disturbingly disproportionate amount of CPU.
- KrayzieKyd, on 11/08/2009, -2/+6Apple also said to be working on a tablet.
- pika2000, on 11/09/2009, -0/+4So? One/two countries use CDMA (the other one is S.Korea). But then KDDI is switching to LTE anyway (and so is Verizon and AT&T). Let's face it, CDMA is going away.
- HonoredMule, on 11/08/2009, -0/+4Oh, please, Apple fans wouldn't act so blatantly hypocritical as that over Intel processors--er, I mean Adobe Flash.
- Ocelot13, on 11/08/2009, -0/+4verizons cdma network isnt just gonna disappear... lte isnt gonna be stretched out everywhere like a snap of a finger. while the lte network is still growing, cdma will still be used.
- geodebug, on 11/08/2009, -0/+4I was wondering how your response could be so inane but then I realized you signed it as the laughing retard.
- HurricaneDC, on 11/08/2009, -2/+6Blackberries are sexy dude. The problem is the OS feels as ancient as WinMo.
- TigerOfPTS, on 11/08/2009, -0/+4Yeah. It felt kinda good though.
- jv2k, on 11/08/2009, -0/+4I've had an android phone for months but just now decided to try pandora(figured since I have no 3g in my area it'd be useless). That is an awesome app but it's made even better by the fact that I can still do stuff with my phone while streaming music off the internet.
It drains the battery but I have an extended one so my phone endures. - Perc, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3UMTS900, for the love of god!
- inactive, on 11/08/2009, -1/+4yeah what a failure the iphone has been, if only they had done this sooner...
- inactive, on 11/08/2009, -2/+5I hope you realize just how sad your comment is.
You would kill yourself based on owning or not owning a cell phone. So basically, you have just come to Digg.com and admitted to the world that without a certain cell phone, you cannot come up with any other things in your life that gives you joy enough to make you want to keep living. - leighton0h, on 11/08/2009, -1/+4prolly
- Eurynom0s, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3Smaller screen? I want a Verizon iPhone but that would suck.
Also would a "world mode" iPhone mean I could be on Verizon's network at home, and then buy a pre-paid SIM when I go abroad? - geodebug, on 11/08/2009, -2/+5I accuse you of being a me-too digg troll which is near the bottom of what I like: somewhere below a worm's balls and above the racists and misogynists. Congratulations on your banality and enjoy your bury.
- geodebug, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3Sprint still uses it. Maybe they have a hidden deal...
- AlienMushroom, on 11/08/2009, -0/+3Duke Nukem's business strategy sucks.
- Philbert, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2And they're probably offended by your comment.
- Nerfdude, on 11/08/2009, -3/+5The effort, you retard!
But now that you mention it, when a girl says it's a good size ... it's a nice way of saying that it's small. - mattluiz, on 11/08/2009, -2/+4That's what she said.
- Anomaly100, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2Tiger: hehe! It felt good for me as well.
- aresef, on 11/08/2009, -1/+3I don't think Verizon simply hears it. I get a feeling this will be the Verizon iPhone. Or at least I'd hope so.
- Eurynom0s, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2If a world mode phone meant I could be on Verizon's network at home, and then buy a pre-paid SIM when I go abroad, that would rock.
- JohnnySoftware, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2Yeah, every year it is said. Most of the rumors this year said it would be out by October 2009. It's November 2009 and not a whisper of it from Apple.
I think earlier in the year the rumor mill was saying it would be out even earlier than Octobert, and it just kept getting pushed back father and farther like the end of the world. - Qumahlin, on 11/09/2009, -1/+3LTE (LONG-term Evolution)
Don't expect CDMA to dissappear anytime in the next 5-7 years. - bizzywho, on 11/08/2009, -1/+3Well then it's a child's toy which has gained a lot of market share, which all carriers want a piece of.
- arcticblue, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2au, one of the big cell phone providers in Japan, still uses CDMA.
- Nerfdude, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2...you think billions of people use the iphone?
- Junior612, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2Sold my Storm and 3G iPhone for a Droid on Friay.
No ATT service here and the Storm was my only option for a smart phone in the small kiosk we have here (Small Town North Dakota). - JohnnySoftware, on 11/08/2009, -3/+5Well, not everything is about the US. There are other markets in the world too.
Hundreds of nations in the UN. The US is neither the most populous nor the richest nor the most wired nor the most wireless. It is a good mix of all four but it is not the only market. - oriondr, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2Knowing Apple, they'll build it with hardware capable of working all over the world, then lock it down through software so that it can't.
- aristotle0dude, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2World phone? It's called "GSM". That is was the "world" uses. Canada is now 90% GSM. If you want Verizon or Sprint to get the iPhone and other "cool" phones, tell those two carriers to switch to 3G+ GSM to one up AT&T. If Telus and Bell can do it, what is stopping Verizon from doing it in the US?
