well it was just announced, so who's getting it?

Barely announced, still waiting to see whether it's just CDMA or has LTE. I probably won't switch back to Verizon (left it back when they had no decent phones) until they get an LTE iPhone.

Edit: This picture shows a slightly modified antenna band, it's the same part that leaked last week:

verizon is CDMA, if it turns out to be LTE, are these compatible with GSM chips? (sorry totally ignorant on LTE )

Well, they're separate. You could build a CDMA+LTE phone (which is what the new 4G phones on Verizon are) or you could build a GSM+LTE phone. AT&T is planning to roll out LTE starting in 2012 I think, in which case they'd use the latter.

Edit: Time Cook via Engadget: "We're incredibly pleased to give Verizon's customers the choice we've been waiting for. We've designed an iPhone 4 which connects to the CDMA network -- and it has all the features that you'd expect."

Guess it isn't LTE, if it was they'd probably make a big deal out of it.

yeah sim card, sorry, slow morning, no coffee yet :p

So does this mean the verizon iPhone can be unlocked to use with another GSM carrier?

Edit: So i'm guessing the verizon iphone is CDMA+LTE,

If the iPhone was CDMA+LTE then it would have a sim chip but you couldn't use it with a GSM carrier. If you used it with a GSM carrier that also had LTE then you could use it in LTE coverage areas but it wouldn't be able to fall back on GSM when out of those areas.

You guys get mobile hotspot + Facetime over cell? WTF? Me wants!

Haha, can EVDO Rev A handle facetime over cell? I can't believe they announced this phone with EVDO rather than LTE. It's going to make Verizon look stupid side by side with an AT&T iPhone 4. Of course, there are areas where one carrier will have better service than the other, but in places where they both have good service, like where I live, the Verizon iPhone will be slow as dirt compared to the AT&T iPhone.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
