I guess it's good for americans... I never quite understood why it's been an ATT exclusive for so long

Apple claimed that they had an exclusive deal with AT&T until 2012, and that's what I'm curious about... If that was really the case, couldn't AT&T sue them? Or was there some kind of settlement?

dont want to get it on the 1st day. I am gonna wait until the hype has died down and minor problems solved.

I don't know about any minor problems but I know I definitely will be waiting as well. Why get sucked into buying a iPhone 4 when 5 could be right around the corner in May. It is also handy to have my contract up in May which will make waiting for the iPhone 5 even better. :p

I would imagine that, as usual, iPhone 5 will be announced at WWDC in early June but not actually made available until the following July. So, personally, if you're a Verizon customer and want an iPhone, I'd just wait a few months for the next model. Because you know that Apple will put just enough new features on it to make you want it.

Is the new antennae design just a modification for CDMA or is it a "fix" of the previous design? Also, version number shows 4.2.5 so hopefully the Personal Hotspot feature comes to other networks, mainly O2 in UK.

CDMA changes so world mode works, you'd need one antenna for standard CDMA in the USA, but to travel in world mode you need another antenna that handles different frequency ranges

I hate buying electronics on launch but my LG Dare's screen went bonkers a week or so back, so I'll be getting this on release. I've been eligible for an upgrade for a couple months and was holding out for the iPhone in the first place. Hopefully there's not any major issues that will pop up...but I have a feeling that's a little too much to ask for :p

I'm getting this soon as I can, will do the upgrade through Verizon's site for existing customers, really tired of my Storm 2, just got available for upgrade right before Christmas but held off on a Droid to see if the announcement for the iPhone was going to happen...glad I waited. Not going to wait on an iPhone 5, the 4 will be good enough for me. If Verizon does get the refresh in June, I'll grab whatever one gets put out next year. :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
