Either that is the iPhone 5 or an early stage Verizon iPhone.
I fully expect both phones to merge eventually. Either in June or next year.

exactly, the current baseband chip in the Verizon iPhone can already do both but it would have taken a major redesign for both to work. Everything I've read says Apple will come out w/ a world phone (GSM/CDMA) around summer time.
the iPad 2 is also expected to be merged for both
