the shine is an upgrade from the verizon CDMA chocolate. Excuse me while I make a call from my shine btw.

lol, the iphone wont come to sprint for at least 5 years if that. at&t in my opinion is a far superior company to sprint anyway.

Lol, it was only a matter of time that one of those CDMA carriers were going to make the switch. Too bad for the general CDMA fan that it was their knight in shining CDMA armor VZW. So I suppose they were truly tired of losing customers to at&t every year do to the fact you can do so much more with GSM/WCDMA. I am sure when they make the switch to OFDM they will begin to use SIM cards. I pretty much already forsaw this with the acquisition of some GSM spectrum and the fact that the FCC is pressuring carriers like vz and at&t to get off the 800mhz. And honestly in my opinion that one bandwidth is what vz still heavily realizes on, once that goes whoever gets the 700 bandwidth in my opinion will probably earn the better coverage (considering the lower the bandwidith the better it penetrates structures). Big blow to the CDMA fan base once again. Your phone is truly as good as your network (snickers).
