Got my invitation, but it's worthless without LTE

[TelecasterM]

I would jump on my invitation if the X had Band 17 for ATT LTE. The phone is worthless without that LTE coverage. What a bummer!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, that stinks. I'm on T-Mobile and they're starting to roll out B12 in my area, but even my B12-equipped phones connect via B4. I'm still reluctant because I want my phone to be reasonably future-proof.

Makes no sense. The TWO has B17

The hardware of the one plus x has the capability for an update to band 12, 17?

Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work.

It works but not on 4G LTE AT&T, simple question does the hardware on the one plus x have the capability to upgrade the firmware to carry the band 12, band 17 frequency?

Johnedel said:

Yes. It can carry the band but as of the moment we have some compatibility issues with the networks. We will update you on the forums about any progres on this matter,

Just for some clarity, it is not a horrible experience for all users on AT&T. I am actually seeing better LTE signal where I live with my OnePlus X than with my LG Nexus 5X. It all depends where you live. I was worried it would be a horrible experience, but it is not. Personally, I also love to use the device way more than the Nexus.
