Verizon iPhone 4 - Likely to be short-lived

 The Verizon iPhone 4 wirelesses have plenty in its support, especially compared with its AT&T sibling. But it may be promptly replaced by a new one, cooler version more quickly than is usual even for the die-young life expectation of most smart phones.

Pluses: 

• It's on a fine carrier. 
• It adds new capabilities, at least for an iPhone. 

Drawbacks: 

• It's middle-aged. 
• It suffers CDMA's shortcomings.
