So True...

You think people are complaining about WiMax pricing now...wait until Verizon roles out its LTE networks...probably another year afterwards for wide enough coverage...and insane prices...I like Verizon's Android phones though...]]>May 12th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/
Yeah!! Verizon's 3G is more expensive than Sprint's 4G. It's crazy that people pay more for slower service, especially people that are in 4G areas. So I can only imagine how expensive Verizon's 4G services will be. Well, I am getting the EVO 4G!! It's only $450 off contract and $200 on a new 2 year contract. That is one sick phone that will help change the way smartphones are made. There are so many features that other phones don't have, especially in one package.]]>May 12th 2010 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/Verizon has a rep for being... not cheap XD.]]>May 12th 2010 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/Not the same thing.]]>May 12th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 12th 2010 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 12th 2010 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/you like verizons phones? check out this Sprint phone!

I actually agree, but I am sure they will raise the speeds as time goes along. I think they dont want the network to crash? Just a guess but this is pretty good stuff. ]]>May 12th 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/
Sure, HSPA+ can even do 42Mbps/5Mbps and that's just 3G technology pushed to the limit. The problem is latency from your phone to the tower, as well as amount of bandwidth from the tower to the internet.

Verizon wants to jump to LTE quickly because CDMA doesn't have an upgrade path. That's why they're so on the ball about getting this stuff out quickly.]]>May 12th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/

Sprint's 4G ceremony is a lot cooler too.

The best you will find from Verizon and the word simcard is a Verizon phone and a Vodafone phone working with the same simcard after LTE goes live for both.

You can forget the phones, simcards sold by Verizon to be compatible in any way or form with another non affiliated company]]>May 12th 2010 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 13th 2010 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 13th 2010 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 13th 2010 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 12th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 12th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/May 12th 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/

Since WiFi is split among multiple customers, your WiFi speed at a coffee shop is often limited by the number of people there. The coffee shop itself may have a 10Mbps connection, so when you split that over 10 people, it quickly becomes something that will browse the Internet, but nothing you'd want to stream a YouTube HD video over.

But that's the value of free. If you want something better, you're gonna need to pay for it.]]>May 12th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/4g-shocker-the-good-people-of-boston-enjoy-verizons-trial-lte/Mobile data works the same way.
