Verizon EV-DO CA launch delayed

verizon

Originally Verizon was set to expand their new high-speed EV-DO service to the San Francisco Bay Area as well as Sacramento (last week we had the dirt on which cities were next due for EV-DO service), however it looks like they've delayed the launch in both areas as coverage (read: EV-DO towers) isn't quite where they wanted it to be yet. Delays also may affect Tampa, FL and NYC as well since they also don't have enough infrastructure in place, but rollout is still scheduled to happen in each city before 2005. And plans to introduce Verizon's first EV-DO handsets, the LG VX8000 and the XDA III, are supposedly on hold now.
