[quote=AN][quote=CDMA ENG]Uhm… That is not quite right either about the LTE.. ATT and VZW both bought 700 MHz spectrum and the device itself is tunable to either including the differences in Bandwidth. LTE comes in 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz versions.
ATT also owns 2100 MHz bands…
But Yeah if you buy a HSPDA you will need to buy one for going to LTE…
What they really are saying is that currently they plan to make thier devices frequency dependent. I predict this will last about a year. Simple truth is that the handset makers radio will be able to do business on all of these frequencies. The chip makers do not want to retool to make the chip frequncy dependent therefore there will be some hardware or software fix, to limit searchable frequencies, for this which will take some smart hacker all of about 6 months to figure out. Trust me, someone will jail break these devices and then it game on. The handset is being hijacked as to hopefully keeping the consumer with them. Eventually these tactics fall apart and techincally the phone will be able to handle all of the 700 block and 2100 AWS spectrum.
