Of course, AT&T meant full rollout to customers and since they already use GSM it should be a quicker process. Verizon would have to play heavy catch up which I wouldn't be surprised to see.]]>Nov 29th 2007 10:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/Nov 29th 2007 11:57AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/
@ojfl, I didn't even think of the VoIP aspect of it. I can definitely see Nokia making VoIP devices (SE, not so much).]]>Nov 29th 2007 2:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/Nov 29th 2007 10:51AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/Nov 29th 2007 5:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/Nov 29th 2007 5:04PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/
LTE is not GSM.
LTE is the 4G standard in the GSM family.
They are not backwards compatible.]]>Nov 29th 2007 5:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/11/29/verizon-and-vodafone-to-launch-lte-trial-in-2008/Dec 4th 2007 4:17PM
