They didn't say "no 4.3 for CDMA". They just didn't say it would be out on 3/11. Wait a bit and see, I'm sure Verizon will get the 4.3 update as well.

Don't know what to tell you... VZW had the hotspot feature before AT&T... I expect iOS to play leapfrog with the two versions until iPhone 5 is out with a dual technology radio chip... until then, there are differences internally that could affect how/if certain functions are implemented.

Let's see here. Verizon doesn't get 4.3 like everyone else on the 11th (although they already have hotspot). They have slower data. They can't do voice/data at the same time via 3G. They suffer slightly less battery life (CDMA uses different power requirements and tuning, although nothing drastic). So much for that Verizon iPhone being awesome? I can't think of a reason since AT&T is very fast for me and very reliable.

Reception... Its great that ATT works for you, but not everybody has good reception with them.

What the heck??? I'm feeling kind of jipped for choosing Verizon's iPhone over AT&T now.

who cares? I could honestly care less about photobooth and garage band or whatever else there is. Personal hotspot isn't of any interest to me and even if it were, I already have MiWi.

All 4.3 would do it cause me to wait for a jailbreak, rejailbreak, redo repos, reinstall apps, etc.

I'm sure Apple will have a version out for Verizon very soon! It makes sense not to have the same version for AT&T and Verizon since they run off two different networks.

Yup, agree that we will see the update just a matter of when. I have much more faith in Apple than in RIM or Google which is a huge reason I switched over from those platforms.

In regards to the reception comments, there is a difference and different locations have different coverage so as always it is best to research who has the best coverage where you spend most of your time. I can attest to the VZ coverage on Oahu in HI being much better than AT&T's. That doesn't mean that AT&T is bad just slightly less coverage and signal strength but it has no problems 95% of the time. To me, not really a big deal. I stick with VZ because of the better coverage, here, and what seems to be better customer service than when I was with AT&T.

sorry since I'm an iPhone noob, I have to ask this question.: If I have a jailbroken phone, updating the OS to a newer version, will it delete my jailbreak and all the apps?

Well from a non-AT&T fanboy point of view I'm sure you'll think of a reason or 2. :)

Agree I mean the verizon iphone had a different software when it launched so I'm sure there will be a different version of 4.3 people just relax you will get it.

You forgot to mention the dropped calls with AT&T. When that happens it doesn't matter if you can surf faster or are multitasking you are dead in the water.

Yes. We jailbreakers will have to wait to update until the jailbreak software gets tweaked to accommodate the OS upgrade - update the OS, then use the new jailbreak tool and reinstall 3rd party apps.

YES to this.

I think that the most important thing should be actually getting good reliable service.
Good that it works for you though!
