The next model coming out, is the LG3200. A nice phone. It's got color screen, speaker phone and the "Get it now" features. It's all digital I believe.
CDMA is used by Verizon Yes but Sprint uses it too. Nothing wrong with CDMA, Qualcom makes the technology. They are a great company and the financials are growing. If you research Cellular. You'll see it being said, that companies will eventually migrate to a "wide band Cdma". I find that interesting.....Hope that helped
I am interested in switching to Verizon in the next month or so but I am hesitant because they should come out with new phones soon. Can anyone tell me what/when phones should be out? Also, is it safe to assume that any CDMA phone being released in the US is Verizon?
