Buy a Verizon IPhone 4?
Here is five reasons why not to buy a Verizon IPhone 4: (Goto source for full article!)
Finally, after years of wondering when it would happen, the iPhone has arrived on Verizon. The CDMA iPhone goes on sale on February 10 at Apple and Verizon stores at $199.99 for 16GB and $299.99 for 32GB. Yippee.
Here's my plan: I sell my iPhone on eBay; I bet there are plenty of overseas users who would love to score a bargain on a gently used iPhone 3GS with a SIM card slot, which could easily be unlocked for use on a foreign carrier. Also, since I signed my contract back in 2009 when the 3GS was released, before AT&T upped its termination fees, I'll only have to pay about $75 to get out of that dreaded contract. What I'd get at auction for the old iPhone will surely cover that.
I could have a new iPhone 4 (which is an upgrade for me)—one that works in my apartment, all along the West Side Highway in Manhattan, and at a convention in Las Vegas—in my hot little hands in a month's time. As tempting as this prospect is, I realize it might not make sense for me, or anyone else in the washed-up AT&T iPhone boat, to jump over to Verizon right away. Here's why:
The Iphone does not have included navigation software but it does have location services, which does show the direction you are facing. However, there apps such as Tom Tom for the iPhone. Go to the iTunes store and type in navigation. I'm sure there are other low cost apps that do this. Have fun!

Is that the only reason you say? Im sure Apple will fix that and there are Apps to get navigation software. If you don't want to spend a lot of money and don't have a 2 year contract renewal then you can get an iPhone 4 for free here Verizon iPhone 4 Giveaway and it has detailed instructions on what you need to do. I got mine last week.
