According to Consumer Reports (CR), the Verizon iPhone 4, which went on sales February 10, is plagued with the same problem as its July-last-year-released AT&T counterpart – that is, the capacity for dropped calls when held in a particular manner.

According to IDG News Service, Verizon Wireless recently revealed in a statement that the users of the new Motorola Xoom tablet will have to send their devices to Motorola for a week so that they can be upgraded to 4G.

Countering the reports that the sales of the Verizon iPhone 4 were falling short of the carrier's expectations, Verizon Wireless CEO Daniel Mead recently stated that the initial sales of the handset had surpassed those of any other product in the company's history.

After having released the CDMA version of the popular iPhone on Verizon Wireless last week, Apple - which has been selling the GSM version of the handset on AT&T thus far - has now published a support document that details the key differences between GSM and CDMA versions of the device.

With the iSuppli teardown of the Verizon iPhone revealing the inside of the handset, analysts are of the opinion that Apple will likely recycle the CDMA handset’s design for the expected next iPhone iteration – the iPhone 5 - this summer.

According to reports, the much-awaited Motorola Xoom tablet device will likely be offered with a 3G contract which will be fairly akin to that of the Apple iPad; provided that Verizon maintains the existing tablet contract scheme that it offers with Samsung's 3G-capable Galaxy Tab.

According to Verizon Wireless, the sales of its CDMA iPhone version – which was made available for preorder on Thursday, February 3 - were quite brisk; with the first two hours of the device’s availability witnessing notably more sales than the one-day total sales of any other device that the carrier has launched thus far.

With the pre-orders for the eagerly-awaited Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 kicking off 3 a. m. Eastern on Thursday, February 3, the initial demand for the handset was notably strong; and the carrier’s website reflected a heavy initial demand for the device.

In an apparent attempt to impede the possible migration of its customers to the forthcoming Verizon iPhone, AT&T has kicked off a new e-mail campaign which essentially reminds the current AT&T customers that it is the only carrier that can handle voice and data simultaneously for the US iPhone.

With the popular Apple iPhone 4 set to arrive on the Verizon Wireless network in a couple of weeks, the results of a recent ChangeWave survey have indicated that nearly 16 percent of the AT&T customers intend switching carriers in favor of Verizon.
