Ok bought the Bionic and salesman tells me late 2012 for 4G in central Nj! Verizon you suck!!
Most likely he was just telling you a worst case scenario in order to not get your hopes up, the LTE expansion is supposed to be completed by 2013, I went to a verizon store last week and asked about when 4G would be rolled out to central NJ and was told no one knows it could be up to a year and a half.
But he admitted that they don't give advance notice to store or phone support staff about LTE coverage.
They are just covering their asses, so in short I'm hoping for LTE late this year or early next year, I mean NJ is verizons home state, but I'm not holding my breath.
Though I have a thunderbolt so whenever I go to North Jersey and use LTE I get a little jealous lol.
