Keep in mind that Technically neither WiMax or LTE is actually 4G. As I understand it HSPA is like 3.5, and WiMax is like 3.7 and LTE is like 3.9.
Don't quote me on that though.

And the xx50 model number is for CDMA with Wifi ex the Storm 2 is 9550.Odds are these are both CDMA - for Verizon & Sprint.
A while back it was stated somewhere that one of the first LTE handsets for Verizon would be a BlackBerry, so its possible one of these is destined for Verizon's LTE network this winter.
Since Verizon & Sprint each use different 4G Technologies, it makes sense that there would in fact be two different 4G BlackBerry sliders - one for each carrier.
AT&T would not see either, as their 4G network is not supposed to be active for a while.
I'm not saying these photos are definitely real - but i'm saying it's feasible that they are in fact legitimate.
The xx90 could be 4G
... so this could be a Torch for VZW on 3G and one for Sprint on WiMax.
Who really knows?

And I will go on record now as saying that if RIM puts out a cdma torch running the 528 mhz chip of the S1/S2 than every RIM engineer and exec should rounded up and shot. However if they want the same device to support VZW and Sprint and support WiMax, we may actually see a snapdragon. Or something similar, even if under clocked. I doubt it.

Apparently the only CDMA chips come from Qualcomm. Whatever chips sprint or VZW uses for 4G they have to also support their 3G networks. Ergo for any 4g device for Sprint or VZW you are looking at a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Google "Qualcomm LTE chips" and you can check them out.

Yeah someone gave a good explanation on one of these theads. Qualcomm invented CDMA and the chips have the radio integrated. So you pretty much need a QC chipset for CDMA.
On a side note I have been wondering if the S2 refresh requires a new chip for the Wifi hot spot feature. I don't know if the S2 chip has Wifi broadcast capabilities. No one has answered that one yet.

I'd have to say, from an educated guess, that yes it would since essentially you would be using your phone as a wireless modem to send and receive signals.Yeah someone gave a good explanation on one of these theads.

The time line is already been stated CX said who is very reliable I don't think I need to say more about that
He says one or two refreshes then NEXT GENERATION devices
And he has said the standard and rim knows it is 1 ghz. And all the other fun stuff so refresh I'm guessing 9780 and 9570 then once those drop witch it looks with in a couple of month before november I would guess the good stuff should start coming early next year
If you have been listening to kevin he has left little hints hear and there about the real revolutionary devices in 2011 and 2012 to some it all up08-18-10 04:59 AMLike 0 -

that is 1 to 2 years away. that's a long time for rim to get their act together.The time line is already been stated CX said who is very reliable I don't think I need to say more about that

It starts with in about six months actual if they do release a tablet it could start in a couple months that might be the reason for the refreshes because the so called blackpad first to start there next generation devices witch from what we hear november that's not far08-19-10 04:54 AMLike 0 -

The standard now maybe 1ghz, but by the time these devices are actually released it will no longer be current generation. Frankly, the same thing was said last year about things coming up that would "blow us all away" and would "change everything". I'll believe it when I see it, but I have a sinking feeling we are not going to see anything to wow us. The only thing that has been blown away are customers...in droves.The time line is already been stated CX said who is very reliable I don't think I need to say more about that

HA! good one.
yah, everyone said os 6 was going to blow us away. im not holding my breath for rim. it could take years for them to release the new os. no joke.
btw, everyones all excited about the new company that rim bought and will use to build for the os. ppl say that its the same os that beamers use. thats not a good thing. anyone who has used a beamer knows that they have a lot of electrical problems, whether it be hardware or software. thats not a good thing for rim cuz i can see them wasting tons of time failing to optimize the new os when other companies have not exactly succeeded.08-20-10 01:59 AMLike 0 -

QNX OS/software is used on BMWs, Porsches, Caterpillers and one US un-manned military vehicle. The "electrical problems" you refer to, if they exist, are because of the car, not because of QNX software. QNX software works perfectly fine in the above products.HA! good one.

This is why a 4G bold should look like the Bold 9000. it has plenty of room for all of these new chips.08-23-10 03:10 PMLike 0
