No 4G? What Gives?

I hate to bust your bubbles, but none of the Wp7 phones are 4G capable. They are all 3G, I think it is a WP7 issue with it not being 4G capable yet. I think the June update will add the 4G capability.

Is the HTC Arrive 4G compatible? How can we confirms if it is or not? I am thinking about buying 2 of these and want the ability to upgrade them to 4G in the future.

Hate to burst any bubbles, but the Arrive is not 4G. It is very aware of wifi, though, and is compatible with 802.11n. (but not on the 5GHz freq)
4G is new enough that I would not expect it to be in every new device yet, they're still trying to figure out what they're even doing (WiMAX vs. LTE)
Once you get the Arrive and reset it, the 3G still feels plenty fast, as CDMA 3G will always be faster because of the transmission methods behind CDMA.

I should have clarified. I do understand that the Arrive is currently 3G but, does it have the hardware built-in to be able to go 4G when it is available. I am trying to cost justify these two phones by getting rid of cable broadband in home if 4G is available in the near future for these phones.
