I believe Japan also uses CDMA and the iPhone is available there. But I guess its not the same CDMA that Verizon is using.

The Jamaican phone mobile operator , MiPhone, has the rights to the iPhone in Jamaica. MiPhone has a CDMA network in operation, but are now in the process of deploying their brand new 3G GSM network which they will operate along with their CDMA network. MiPhone was bought out by America Movil and will be rebranded as Claro.

So no, this is no indication of a CDMA iPhone. It's a lack of research by the publishers of the article 🙂
