Not wanting to start a debate but found it interesting that when I was SBF'ing my phone this weekend it said 4G OMAP processor in RSD Lite in the Info box during the SBF Process. I have seen all the forums arguing about the X being 4G or not. Any thoughts?

And according to the schematic it does have a 4G radio:

OMAP™ 4 Platform - OMAP4430/OMAP4440

[the one and only M]

The droid x has an omap 3 processor. The omap 4 is the next generation. But yeah I remember it saying 4G omap the last time I SBFed.

Here is what is crazy if it does have the 36xx or 3440 series processor it still has the 3g/4g modem chipset. I am just speculating....

And it seems it is the the 3630:

Droid X doesn't have a 4G radio. If it did, all the tear downs would have confirmed this.

AVT look at the Spec sheet from TI it says 3G/4G modem.

OMAP™ 3 Processors - OMAP36x

Capable of 4G, yes. But we have 3G radios : (

But the Droid X is not 4G capable. If it was, someone would have figured this out a long time ago.

AP isn't far off base man. That chip CAN run a 4G radio, if equiped

I'm not saying he is far off base. But WHICH 4G chip is is talking about? All it says is 4G. It does not specify which radio or types of radios it can run. Unless it has them all? But that still doesn't negate the fact that this would have been brought up a long time ago if the DX actually had the chip needed.

He is just reading the article literally. No AVT, the X will never have a 4G experience. The omap chip referred to in the links (your device) CAN run a 4G radio if equiped. I think this is the reason some people get confused.

[Johnly]

What 4G radio? Idk avt. I would have to look that up.

I wasn't arguing the fact that the chip doesn't have the capability. I am just saying the Droid X will never see 4G, ever. If the radio was there, we would have known by now.

For real...

[avt123]

It's what I have been saying since my first post in this thread. I would like to know which 4G radio the processor supports though.

[Accidental Post]

Actually I am wondering if the 4G side could be turned on via a firmware update. Would be kinda cool if possible.

[Johnly]

Wouldn't that be cool!

he he, no one said you said he was far off base, and yes, no one is saying the radio is 4G. It is just an interesting topic with some interesting reads.

[avt123]

They will NEVER make the DX 4G capable through a firmware upgrade. VZW is not stupid. LTE will make people buy new phones. It would be awesome, but it will never happen.

[Johnly]

that is for sure...
