Oh, I've done lots of research and I've discovered no one here or at Verizon has any idea of what the system or phones are capable of. I e-mailed Verizon tech. help and asked them what is the fix for the antenna problem and was told that the iPhone 4 would be fixed once the system was switched over to the 4 g network. Salesperson told me the "G" in iPhone 4g meant it was 4 gigs. WOW. Oh yes, I've done research and those are the kind of answers I get. I thought by joining a forum I would have better luck, but then once again I run into more jerks and a bunch of incompetent malcontents.
On the contrary, you'll get more correct information on these forums than you will from a Verizon rep or tech support. The Verizon sales reps are paid to sell you phones. They're going to lie left and right if they think it will get you to purchase a phone. I had an online rep tell me that he personally had an iPhone and had certain numbers blocked (because that was an issue for me) and I came to find out that, not only can the iPhone NOT block numbers, employees are not allowed to purchase the iPhone yet, so that rep couldn't have even owned one, let alone had numbers blocked on it. All they want is their pay check.
The posters on here do in fact want to help you and inform you, but when we see the same posts over and over, with everyone clearly not using the search button or doing research, it gets a bit irritating and I do apologize for being rude at all. I am simply trying to convey that 1. the antenna issue has in fact been resolved by getting a replacement from Verizon for most customers, and 2. the Verizon iPhone 4 is not 4g compatible (the name does not even include a 'G' as some people think. It is not like the iPhone 3gs) and 3. Verizon has set up its 4g network in preparation for it's first 4g compatible phone to be released this month. They have the 4g map up because they can't release a 4g phone without setting up their 4g network first.
