Damn your hard headed. We don't have it currently in the us for the same reason I stated before. Quad cores will have LTE built in by the end of this year and will def be in our phones next year. What don't you understand? Quad core also helps battery life as well its not all raw power sucking your battery juice.
It's not just the number of cores. It's the node process (22nm, 28nm, 32nm, 45nm), combined with the software. Gingerbread wasn't optimized for dual-core units the way ICS is. That's a huge reason we get the better battery life with the ƎVO, vs. the average life I got on my E3D. I think that device will get better performance from the battery once the ICS update comes out this month.
But I do agree that the quads will have LTE built-in later this year or early next. Our issue here is that CDMA is prevalent here in the States but not so much everywhere else so we really are relegated to Qualcomm developing the technology for Sprint and Verizon. And that isn't a bad thing, but it is part of the equation.
