Re:The Verizon iPhone 4 on Thursday February 03, 2011 @01:53AM (#2173946)

WiFi and calls work simultaneously, it's only 2G/3G data that's affected.

Re:The Verizon iPhone 4 on Thursday February 03, 2011 @12:48AM (#2173795)

It seems that a bunch of bloggers received pre-release Verizon iPhones for review. It's probably because expectations have already been set for the iPhone 4 and Apple doesn't need to worry about reviews negatively affecting initial sales.

It's not often that you see two reviews for essentially identical products from the same source. This was a pretty smart move by Apple.

You don't need to be present when UPS/FedEx delivers if you've signed a release and authorize them to leave packages at your doorstep though this is not true for all types of shipments. If you live in a bad neighborhood or if the shipper specifically requests a signature then they won't leave it at your door.
