Verizon's first advert for the upcoming CDMA iPhone 4 has been revealed, and the carrier takes the perhaps unusual step of not actually showing the smartphone at all. Instead the ad plays on the amount of time its taken Apple to produce a Verizon version.Video after the cut

So, we have lots of clocks, people staring at them, and impatient foot-tapping, as second-hands count down to 12 o'clock. We're guessing that doesn't necessarily mean Verizon stores will start opening at midnight or midday, though.

The Verizon iPhone 4 will go on sale come February 10, priced at $199.99 for the 16GB and $299.99 for the 32GB, with a new, two-year agreement. Existing Verizon subscribers will be able to get their hands on it a week early, from February 3.
