They are going to see a metric a$s-load - it's freaking brilliant.

I get what you mean, I just have my doubts the cdma version of the next iphone will release at the same time. Given how fast phones advance already, I'm fine with taking the risk. Especially since I'm eligible for an upgrade already

I don't doubt for a second it will be a great device. And you very well may be correct and the CDMA iPhone 5 is going to be next winter... The only thing really sticking in my craw is that you CANT get these on a 1-year contract. It seems like it's 2 years or full retail. I also heard (pure speculation) that Verizon is going to be changing it's early upgrade eligibility from 1 year to 20 months. 20 months is a LONG time.

I believe they just changed their contracts around, and as far as I know you can do a 1 year or a 2 year, instead of the "new every two" they used to stick with. Not sure if maybe the iPhone won't offer the 1 year option
