I doubt that considering that I read that Verizon made a statement to the effect of they plan on eventually switching completely over to LTE from EV-DO.

You may still be right--Verizon may create tiers of data access, however I think that depends on what other cable and telecom companies end up doing. If companies like TWC and Comcast are able to get away with tier'd pricing structures, then Verizon may try the same approach.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/Jan 8th 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/I see it being around 80$$]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/
That may be true initially, however as more carriers roll out 4G service, I doubt that'll stay at that level. Also keep in mind that LTE is only possible via the spectrum the US gov't is leasing Verizon, so I'm sure if they see Verizon gouging prices, it'll throw its fist down.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/Jan 8th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/Jan 8th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/samsungs-lte-equipped-cameras-mids-and-photo-frames-shill-for/

I bought a ST1000 (CL65 in the US) a week ago. On the top of the camera it has 'GPS' as opposed to 'LTE'.
I like the ease of navigation, the touch display, how you delete photos, how you change to movie mode, etc. However, I am disappointed with the performance of the GPS and Wi-Fi - its main selling points.

Wi-Fi - Works great at home. Sent photos. However, have so far been unable to do it over a hotspot like McDonalds or coffee shops - eg get 'Unable to Connect' when attempting to email.

GPS - When it works it is great. iPhoto and Google Maps show exactly where the photos were taken, etc.

However, an annoying point is that it takes a while for the camera to find the location - could be a couple of minutes or not at all - even in good weather.

In contrast, my iPhone 3G can display where I am in a second or two. I am assuming the speed is due to A-GPS which uses mobile phone towers as well as GPS.

Is LTE backward compatible?

The ST1000 is a non-US model number. It might be that the CL65 does not move to LTE until later.

The ST1000 (GPS) is a relatively new camera but has a large discount - RRP $549 but is on special now at $299 at an Australian electronics chain.

Verizon's will contain LTE + CDMA radios and maybe UMTS radios for some phones. GSM carriers will have LTE + UMTS + GSM radios for some time to come. Its going to get packed in there. We need software defined radios.

They probably didn't remove GPS, just because they don't write it on the top doesn't mean its gone. If anything, the LTE chip itself might have a GPS on die.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:24PM
