If you’re not into all the iPhone rush, and just want to wait for Apple to release a CDMA version of its flagship product, forget about it. USAToday writes that Cingular/AT&T has a 5-year long exclusive agreement with the Cupertino-based company. Furthermore, Apple is committed NOT to develop a CDMA based handset in that period. To put it in other words, there will be NO iPhone offered on any other carrier till 2012. That’s a way too long time to wait for any handset, including the iPhone…
In the meantime, other carriers are busting their balls off to make a compelling offer for people who like the features of the iPhone but just can’t afford one. In that sense Verizon promises to bring its “iPhone killer” this summer. Stay tuned people, the interesting times are ahead of us. (via: Engadget)
