The Verizon iPhone 4 will cost $50 more than the AT&T iPhone 4 when purchased off contract, according to a 9to5Mac report.

AT&T allows customers to purchase the 16 GB iPhone 4 for $599 sans the contract and charges $699 for the contract-free 32 GB model. On the other hand, Verizon charges $649 and $749 for the two models, respectively.

It's unclear if this difference is due to the CDMA hardware or just a premium for the new device.

does the "contract free" means "unlocked" for use for other country too?

No, it just means you don't get the discount you would get if you signed a 2 year contract. You get the same phone you just choose if you want it for $199 with a contract or $599 without a new contract. I am not sure if they will sell it to customers who do not already have an existing contract or not. The only people I know who have purchased one for $599 already had AT&T, they just were not eligible for an upgrade yet do they could not get the discount. There is no option to buy it for $599 online that I have ever seen which leads me to believe that might be for existing customers only.

In defense of iClarified I have to say, it was good they put it again so we can laugh a bit more, Verizon fanboys will get a over expensive, CDMA render and old iPhone, while in 5 months the rest of the world will get the new iPhone 5 that can work anywhere u want for the same price as the existing iPhone 4....oh well, math is not a strength of americans....
