And I am also aware about Juicy's comment on LTE. That's like saying "I love 3G phones!" That's a descriptor of the third gen of mobile technology. Hence when I say "Go LTE!!!" I'm talking about how I love the theoretical 50MBits over cellular that most (AT&T and Verizon) will be promising.  |
Honestly, I agree with all of you but it all depends on the quality of implimentation by the Carriers. Aren't most other countries much smaller in physical network size?
-For Instance:
Call quality/voice building penetration with t-mobile is still amazing because they still use the low freq bands for voice. Where as ATT replaced that band with WCDMA and I basically lost
the ability to make/recieve calls at my house.
-Did you read that WiMax will be deployable im cars because it can sustain high data rates @ 70mph. Pretty deisel!
-I've had all 4 major carriers and worked for ATT during the 3G rollout. Besides the lesser battery life, I prefer Sprint's CDMA over GSM any day, especially the data.
