Once LTE gets the footprint of current day 3G networks, I see them gunning for the voice solution... IMS.

I do agree that this crap should be agreed on and settled quickly. The standard should be voted upon by the 3GPP assembly and carriers should work together to create a unified seamless experience for their users.

Wait, that makes too much sense?]]>Jul 8th 2009 9:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/I feel sorry for those who stay with Sprint....since their 4G network is based on WiMax...and the majority of the worldwide carriers including the popular CDMA carriers like VZW, Telus, Bell etc are planning on switching to LTE for their future 4G networks.

basically what I'm saying is it'll be difficult for consumers who travel internationally with Sprint to roam in outside countries since LTE is GSM based, and MAJORITY of international countries are dominated by GSM technology.

In any case, carriers and manufacturers of the world, WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS?? Can we just decide on ONE standard and live with it?? I'm tired of these incompatibility issues!!]]>Jul 9th 2009 11:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/Jul 8th 2009 10:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/Jul 9th 2009 1:22AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/Jul 8th 2009 11:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/08/t-mobile-steps-forward-with-lte-voice-standard-faces-uphill-bat/Jul 9th 2009 1:24AM
