Video clip above describe the best way was the launch of the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 in the USA yesterday. Most Verizon and Apple stores have had a light schedule, although they are normally mobbed by hundreds of people when a new iDevice is released. In the case of Verizon, the situation was completely different, many of the stores having very few customers, others having very short queues, etc. Some I blame the cold in certain American cities, cold that would have convinced Americans that ordering online and waiting for the terminal at home is the best solution.
"We prepared for more," Verizon Wireless spokeswoman Brenda Raney said. "When you have people over for dinner, don't you prepare for more?"
Raney described sales as "brisk and steady" and noted that the device had already been on sale online for two days — on February 3, which was reserved for existing customers, and Feb 9.
Verizon expected to have many more customers, but the device is available for one-week order online, so many probably chose this option for purchase. In the summer when an iPhone is launched, at AT&T and Apple there are queues with hundreds of people waiting overnight to get a terminal in stock, but at Verizon things are completely different.
