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 now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By OblivionSHO · Posted

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
