13 January 2011, 11:56 pm

When Verizon Wireless announced it will begin carrying the iPhone on February 10, a friend of mine who had been eagerly awaiting the news quickly became disappointed. Why? Because he travels to Europe and Asia periodically and needs a so-called world phone, one that works in multiple countries' cellular networks. The Verizon iPhone isn't such a device; it works only in the United States and Canada on the CDMA network technology not widely used elsewhere.
