NEW UPDATE!!! The Indiegogo page now states specifically states the Edge will work with "LTE and GSM networks, including Verizon and Sprint”  !!!

Taking it exactly as it reads, that means it will not work on CDMA 3G. But once Verizon's LTE spreads to rural areas, the both voice and data will most likely switch to all LTE and phase out CDMA over a few years until all the (at that point) 3G legacy phones are no longer uses.

What do you guys think??
