Verizon iPhone is GSM Compatible

According to the good folks at 9to5Mac, the Verizon iPhone is more than meets the eye.  Apparently the Verizon iPhone is based on the Qualcomm MDM6600 chip, which is dual-mode GSM and CDMA compatible.  This is all great news, as it means that VZW iPhone users will be able to enjoy a more global iPhone experience, however it’s important to note that it still won’t be usable by folks tied to SIM cards.  You’ll have to wait until iPhone 5 for that.
