After years of waiting the iPhone finally functions on Verizon’s CDMA network. Just over four years after the original iPhone launch people now have a choice of carriers for the iPhone 4. The area I live in is quite rural and since the launch of the iPhone folks like me could only dream of owning one, since AT&T has absolutely no coverage here… I don’t mean weak… I mean none, zilch, nada.
So, the big question. Was it worth the wait? There are many good phones available now like Blackberry and phones that run the Android platforms. Well after getting my hands on the iPhone 4, I have to say it is best phone Verizon offers in my opinion. Web surfing is faster than Blackberry, dropped calls are a thing of the past (at least at this early stage) and no matter how I gripped the phone I could not get the signal meter to drop off. The signal strength was weaker than full strength in a location that I would have expected full bars, however even with just one bar calling has not been a problem. The iPhone 4 is very “green” also, so the environment can benefit as well. I am not sure 4 years was worth it since there are so many great phones in the market. Apple could have really capitalized on the entire smart phone market early on, but it’s nice to at least have the iPhone option anyway.
If you have a Verizon iPhone 4 let us know about your experience in the comments.

At CES HTC has unveiled some cool new 4G phones such as the EVO Shift 4G for Sprint, HTC Inspire 4G for AT&T, and HTC ThunderBolt for Verizon.
The EVO shift is a compact slider with a QWERTY keyboard running Android 2.2 and is available for $149.99 with a new 2 year contract and data plan on January 9th. The Inspire 4G is one of the first HSPA+phones on AT&T and is the first device in the US to enhance the HTC Sense experience with htcsense.com, an online service that extends the HTC Sense experience by allowing customers to find a lost phone on a map, send a command to make the phone sound an alert and remotely wipe all of the phone’s data with a single command. The Inspire 4G features are a 4.3 inch screen, an 8 megapixel camera, Dolby and SRS surround sound, active noise cancellation and a unibody casing machined from a single block of aluminum. The ThunderBolt, powered by a Qualcomm LTE chipset, also features a 4.3 inch screen, front and rear cameras, integrated DLNA support and HTC Sense. For more images and the press release hit the jump.
