AT&T public relations head Larry Solomon and a well-known Verizon staffer on Sunday gave away further clues that Verizon's January 11 event was centered around the iPhone. Rather than deny the loss of iPhone exclusivity this year, Solomon when asked about Verizon's unlimited iPhone data plans acted as though the Verizon iPhone was a known quantity and claimed AT&T would stay safe due to speed. A CDMA iPhone's use of 3.1Mbps EVDO Revision A for 3G would leave it at a disadvantage versus the 7.2Mbps HSPA 3G of the iPhone 4 on AT&T, SAI was told.
