Verizon Says All New Smartphones Will Be 4G LTE Devices, No One Bats an Eye

In a not so surprising move Verizon has come out and said that all their smartphones from here on out will come with 4G LTE radios. While we aren’t surprised at all, honestly besides the iPhone 4s and Samsung Illusion when was the last time we talked about a Verizon 3G phone, it feels a little redundant to say. As they put it LTE is now a “hard” requirement for all smartphones that are not push-to-talk devices. Those will remain 3G for right now. Given that Verizon’s LTE coverage is beyond anything their competitors have I can see why they are moving beyond 3G as Verizon is on pace to have its entire 4G network live by the end of 2013. I just hope that they get all the kinks worked out between now and then.

Perhaps they are encouraging 4g so that they can sell more replacement or extended batteries. See I’m onto their schemes.

And charge $249.99 to $299.00 for each phone instead of $149.00 or less.

i don’t need any 4G LTE device . when they have better data plans or unlimited data then i think about it.
