Review Roundup: Apple iPhone 4 (Verizon)

Submitted by lalit on February 18, 2011 - 1:57pm.

Verizon iPhone has been the most rumored gadget ever. Since the original iPhone was released in 2007 on AT&T, rumors about a CDMA model for Verizon have been going around. And if pre-orders are any indication it’s also the most wanted smartphone on Verizon right now. Hardware-wise the Verizon iPhone 4 is similar to the original iPhone 4 released in summer of 2010, except for CDMA antenna replacing the GSM antenna. Verizon iPhone 4 will come in 16GB model priced $199 and 32GB model priced $299 with a two-year contract starting on February 10th.

One big complain that everyone had with iPhone on AT&T network was dropped calls, and every reviewer is pointing out that voice calls are much better on Verizon. However, they are also pointing out that data speeds are generally slower on Verizon, and like every other CDMA phone data and voice calls can’t work simultaneously.

Overall, reviews of Verizon iPhone 4 have been very positive. We completely agree with what Joshua Topolsky of Engadget wrote in his review, “What it is, however, is a big chance to give a large portion of America's smartphone users a crack at a phone they've likely been lusting after for some time. It's also an opportunity to give relief to long-suffering AT&T customers in the form of a usable, reliable phone. While it isn't all rainbows and flowers (the data speed issues or the voice / data considerations could be a dealbreaker for some), it does kind of feel like Apple and Verizon did the impossible: they made the best smartphone in America just a little bit better.”
