Hey I remember about a month or two ago someone saying that 4G won't be out for another year or two but it seems that Sprint has it out in Baltimore already. http://http://mobilebusiness.sprint.com/broadband/index.html?pid=3&?id9=Ad_2009q1_mbb_u300_sky_b_728 x90

I wonder when Verizon will be implementing it on thier network

What does this have to do with a Storm? Tell me.... tell me....

hes just letting people know that 4G is already out, and it might possibly be on the storm 2

[n0t0ryus1]

Eh...but do they have any phones to support it? Serious question.

[AisforAustin]

that's pretty intense.

At least a year to 2 years away for full deployment. So don't hold your breath.

I work at verizon and yes they are testing it as we speak and expect it in the normal first run markets in a few months and some phones, but this is just what i hear and see!

are you a verizon "rep"? because if you are, i dont think it was smart of you to say that you work for verizon.

IMO, of course.

it's been 7months with storm 1. why would they make a storm 2 -.-. one chip to make 4g work on the phone. HA!

Verizon confirms details of U.S. LTE deployment - Network World

I think we called that owned.

4g already wow.

Sorry, what is this image, where is its source and how do you know it wasn't thrown together by a 12 year old using MS Word?

Its an official VZW document. Whether it was a typo or not is beyond me...but I posted this a while back.

Heres the original thread...

I do know that Sprint is one of the first to have it. Right now in the Baltimore area only.

[Grangey.]

I updated my N95 software about 3 months ago, and that took it to 3.5G actually working. So I believe 4G is certainly not far from being fully functional.

4G has been in testing with all the carriers for a while now, Telus in Canada will the be the first to launch ahead of all others.

TELUS Mobility - Network Evolution (HSPA)

Expect to see LTE phones pop up from Verizon late 4thQ 09. By mid-2010 all VZ phones will be 4g. VZ is VERY aggressive with their LTE deployment plans.

[snork]

who cares. sprint has it in baltimore right now, yet not a single phone that can use it. they have 1 aircard you can buy to take advantage of it. pretty stupid if you ask me. they just rushed it out so they can brag about being the first carrier to deliver on 4G service. too bad its only in one city and their plans for expansion over the next few years is 2-3 cities / year. im sure verizon already has more coverage and will own sprint as soon as their 4g network goes live.

[Terrigno]

So what does 4G mean for us Storm owners now? It wont be compatible right? We are forced to get the latest and greatest?

Your correct. The first issue strom as built will not be compatible with LTE. We will have to buy a new handset in the future to enjoy the benefits of 4g.

Don't worry. Your NE2 will come up first before VzW fully deploy LTE.

Thanks, you've just made my day

[buxleyp]

And remember folks, just like not all 3rd Generation data networks are the same (e.g., EVDO, HSPA), not all 4th Generation data networks are the same. Sprint uses WiMax, and Verizon + others are planning LTE. You won't be able to use a WiMax phone on LTE, and vice versa. Theoretically, you should be able to use an LTE phone on any LTE carrier, barring network/device locks.

If it's anything like ATT's "3G" network I don't think Verizon has anything to worry about. Verizon will roll theirs out when it will actually cover most of their network reliably lol.
