Verizon Wireless customers are mere days away from having the privilege to pre-order iPhone4s.
Verizon will offer a CDMA EVDO version of the iPhone 4 starting February 10, thus signaling the end of Apple's iPhone exclusivity deal with AT&T. Existing Verizon Wireless customers will be able to start pre-ordering the device on February 3. The 16GB version with a two-year contract will cost $199.99, while the 32GB version will cost $299.99. The device will be available at more than 2,000 Verizon stores, via Verizon's Web site, at Apple retail stores, and via Apple's Web site. At press time, pricing plan information was not available.
The device includes 3G personal hotspot capabilities, allowing customers to connect up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Apple's deal with Verizon is multi-year, but Apple isn't commenting beyond that about the terms.
