Will Storm 2 work on Verizon 4G rollout in 2010?
Was wondering about this since a Nov release of S2 is immenient and Verzion rollout of LTE in 25-35 markets in 2010.
Thanks - 07-24-2009, 12:23 PM #2
It better.
Don't ask, and we won't tell.
This is my opinion and in no way reflects the opinion of Verizon Wireless or its affiliates. Do not consider talking to me a substitute to actually talking to a Verizon representitive, because I often lie. I find it very sad and pathetic that anyone would actually read this far... And to anyone who reads this and thinks its dumb a big middle finger to you. - 07-24-2009, 12:27 PM #3
I doubt it. Only time will tell for sure.

i doubt it also considering it will take a while for it to be nationwide. im sure the storm 3 will have it tho just my 2 cents
LG Chocolate -> LG Voyager -> Blackberry Storm -> Blackberry Storm2

That would mean it would have:
* UMTS/HSPA: 2100 MHz
* North America: 850 MHz GSM®/GPRS networks
* North America: 1900MHz GSM/GPRS networks
* Europe/Asia Pacific: 1800MHz GSM/GPRS networks
* Europe/Asia Pacific: 900MHz GSM/GPRS networks
* Dual-Band: 800/1900 MHz CDMA/Ev-DO networks
* North America: 700 MHz LTE
* WiFi
I bet it doesn't have an LTE radio seeing that there has been very little buzz about Qualcomm having any LTE chips ready to go to production any time soon."By the Code of Hammurabi both your eyeballs will be taken, they'll be pulled out of your head holes, and shown to your body." - 07-24-2009, 12:50 PM #6

well vzw isnt going to tell its million of customers sorry ur **** out of luck with ur 3g phone cause we work on 4g now, so i would assume its still gonna work in one respect or another
- 07-24-2009, 03:24 PM #9 The 4G rollout will not impact the CMDA 3G network, all 3G phones will continue to work for a long time. 25-35 of the largest markets will be on LTE by the end of next year but VZW won't have a full 4G network in place until 2014.

No the S2 is not a LTE device.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 07-24-2009, 07:09 PM #12 Word is LTE is being rushed for a Q1 launch in select markets. So maybe the full rollout will be sooner than that. Originally Posted by armedtank I dare you to follow me on Twitter.

sorry guys the only thing that is going to be 4G in 2010 is air cards... no phones till 2011!
- 07-25-2009, 07:50 AM #14 More like mid-2012 at best. Qualcomm said back in April the MSM 8960 LTE multi-mode chip for handsets probably wouldn't be ready for vendor sampling until 2011. Tack on 12-18 months to that for integration and product testing. Wouldn't shock me if even a third gen Storm is not LTE capable. Originally Posted by iamlordfx

I doubt the storm 2 will be a 4G phone. Not only is 4G not out yet, but its unlike RIM to be ahead of the curve like that (remember how long it took for them to adopt 3G?) Don't worry the storm 2 will still work with 3G. Its not like they turn off 3G for 4G. Both will be operational for awhile, and 3G will slowly be replaced over years as 4G expands
DROID > BlackBerry - 07-26-2009, 07:31 PM #16 Exactly...the infrastructure will slowly start creeping into existence over the next 12 months (on the part of the cellular carriers), but realistically it will likely be at least 3 years before you can walk into a carrier store and buy an LTE enabled phone.

Probably Storm 3/4 will have LTE.
