Verizon makes it seem like the BB 9930 is 4G. Is it?
- im tired of hearing about cdma and their 9930.i want to hear what at&t is going to do.it better not leave its customers in the dust.hopefully on fan night we hear something from at&t.cx tweeted that at&t is testing the iphone 5 and its coming soon.hope that can be taken as a good sign of at&t moving things along.i just hope at&t doesn't take until christmas.im happy that iphone 5 is coming since its on my check list with the bb's.at&t needs clear out any old devices and revamp their lineup with new ones.so say bye to the torch,curve 3g,and iphone 3gs/4.08-01-11 08:08 PMLike 0

- Only for GSM. GSM supports HSPA+. However EVDO doesn't really have any upgrades available other than EVDO Rev C which basically all carriers bypassed completely for LTE. So there's nothing really to upgrade to.08-01-11 08:29 PMLike 0
- I'm doubting Rogers will have the new phones ready so soon, though it is a possibility that they will let people pre-order starting then...we shall have to see.
As to the "4G" advertising, it does look like the ITU is letting any technology that is faster than ITU standard 3G, to call itself 4G. But LTE is another issue all together. It is obvious from any reputable source that RIM is not going to jump on the LTE bandwagon until the chipsets mature.
But many carriers are calling new higher than 3G speed networks 4G, but not LTE, at least not yet.
Take Telus for instance, they have just rolled out Dual Cell HSPA+, using multiple freq bands to increase bandwith(Dual-Cell HSDPA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and are calling it 4G with no problem. So in theory once I get one of these new BB's I should be getting 42Mbps in Ottawa, or at least 21Mbps even if I am two far from a tower etc. Telus has even mapped out their plan to expand their network speed all the way to LTE at some time in the future.

So hopefully a 9900 from Telus will be capable of operating at full HSPA+ speeds, while giving us the long battery life we all expect from RIM phones, and this is fine with me.
