Key Points About Verizon's iPhone 4
Here are some points about Verizon 's version of the iPhone 4:
The Verizon iPhone 4 physically, is the same as a non carrier iPhone 4, or AT & T's. But it is CDMA enabled, so it will operate only with Verizon wireless network. There is no SIM card slot.
Both Verizon and AT&T offer the hotspot feature, but the number of connected devices differs. AT&T's network allows only 3 devices to be connected at a time. In comparison Verizon allows up to 5 connections. This service needs to be activated and costs $20 per month.
While apps and bundled softwares are the same, the Apple OS differs in the Verizon and AT&T's iPhone 4 models. AT&T runs iOS 4.2.1, while Verizon 's is 4.2.6, to accommodate for CDMA and additional hot-spot capability.
Verizon's iPhone 4 is CDMA enabled and AT&T's is GSM. CDMA allows either data or voice to be transmitted at a time, not simultaneously. What this means is, you can't use your data connection and talk on the phone at the same time. If you have opened Google Maps and you get a call, you cannot keep the app on, while you take the call. The same applies to the hot spot feature. This is a major advantage in AT&T's favor.
