I asked if it is planned to release "CDMA 2000 version iPhone 4" on KDDI with haste

Today in Japan time unknown, the leading mobile phone company in the United States adopting the same "CDMA2000 method" as Japan's KDDI as the communication method of the 3rd generation mobile phone"Verizon" announces that it will release iPhone 4 compatible with CDMA 2000 from FebruaryDid.

Until now, because iPhone supported "W-CDMA method" adopted by NTT docomo, SoftBank Mobile, etc., KDDI could not even participate in iPhone acquisition competition, but now the CDMA 2000 version iPhone 4 was announced , I asked if it is planned to release with haste.

Details are as below.
As for the "CDMA2000 version iPhone 4" released to the KDDI public relations department today, we inquired whether it is planned to be released in the country at the present time, and the comment of the public relations department is "Nothing has been decided at the present momentIt was what it was called.

Although it is not impossible to be a comment that "Nothing has been decided" as it has not been announced at all in the first place, even if negotiations have been conducted under the water for the purpose of release, it is officially decided to be released It is possible that you can not comment on irritating things ... ... when thinking that Apple is the opponent who wishes to persist through thorough secretism until the announcement is made.

Although it is revealed that it has the same A4 processor as the W-CDMA version, a 5 million pixel camera, 960 × 640 high resolution liquid crystal "Retina Display", etc., it has been confirmed that details including the corresponding frequency band etc. Unlike KDDI's mobile phone terminal, CDMA 2000 version iPhone 4 is unnecessary model of SIM card, so it is not always known whether it can be used on KDDI's network at present or not.

Incidentally, Verizon has not exclusive contract with Apple regarding the sale of CDMA 2000 version iPhone 4, and if KDDI clears various conditions such as negotiation with Apple and the corresponding frequency band, KDDI may possibly be in the domestic release There is. Anyway, it seems that we have to watch the trend for a while for now.
