"the HSPA standard used by AT&T is more widely used than the EVDO standard used by Verizon" The new HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint gives you the best of both worlds. It has EVDO/CDMA for use in North America and the Caribbean and HSPA/GSM for worldwide use. I wonder if this is a sign of an eventual shift toward GSM for Sprint?

"The only way the iPhone-on-Verizon scenario comes about in the near future is if Apple changes tactics and makes a second, CDMA-compatible version of the iPhone." This is the weakness in Apple's strategy that Android can exploit, by having many models from multiple handset manufacturers. It won't last for long, though.
