The Wall Street Journal published a page on their website stating that Verizon is getting the iPhone on Tuesday.  This comes because Verizon is holding a press conference on that day, but it is still not confirmed if it will be the announcement of the iPhone on Verizon's network.  Typically Apple does not allow any other company besides themselves to make an announcement that has anything to do with an Apple product, which should make you wonder if this is the big announcement everyone is waiting for.  A lot of people are planning on switching from AT&T to Verizon for the better coverage.  I talked about that in an earlier post, but what i forgot to mention is that there is a catch for people eager to switch to the Verizon network for an iPhone.  The current cellular network of AT&T, the current iPhone provider, runs on a standard called UMTS. Verizon's uses something called CDMA, and that will make a difference in how the phones work.
Most notably, Verizon customers aren't able to surf the Web or exchange email while they're talking on their phone. That sort of on-the-go multitasking might seem a little much to many people, but it's often what iPhone users are signing up for.  AT&T's network, meanwhile, lets users continue a voice call while updating their Facebook pages or checking Google Maps. "When it comes to the smart phones, it's a big deal," said AT&T executive Dave Wolter.
