Qualcomm Hybrid Chip Ready for iPhone

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

htc-logo-qualcomm-chipHello and welcome to a new post here at Accessories for iPhone.

As written in our post yesterday, we had insider knowledge of the inevitable, that the iPhone is ready to go live on Verizon (or any other CDMA carrier a la Sprint) when Apple’s exclusive contract with AT&T comes to an end. Now, we have official announcements from Qualcomm that their new chip part of the MDM family of cell phone chipsets is ready for action. It supports dual advanced 3G, 4G formats. The MSM7630 supports GSM, HSPA+, as well as work on CDMA networks and support EVDO Revision B for 3G on such devices.

What does all of this mean for Verizon customers, and current iPhone customers looking to switch to the touted as more reliable network? Well for starters it means that frustrated iPhone customers who believe the message Verizon is conveying – that their network is more reliable will help them, and for those who have held off getting an iPhone because they are a Verizon customer, or dislike AT&T can now get the iPhone. That is if the rumors are to be trusted on blogosphere, Twitter. What do you think of all this? Are you a current iPhone customer with AT&T, a T-Mobile customer with a jailbroken iPhone? Or perhaps someone locked in to Verizon, or wanting to wait till iPhone comes to Verizon? As always, please share your thoughts with us here and join our Facebook page with other like minded people.
