Hi I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "No verizon does not have disabled 4g antenna's in their newer world phones that could be activated by a carrier update".
I thought I might ask because the merge seems like a nice phone to one year contract on, but I'd assume that their isn't any possible way for 4g to work on those phones once the network comes out in jan.
Because I'd rather have a phone that has the option for since it would be kind of stupid to get a phone that doesn't support it right when they roll out a new network. I don't live near any major cities, but I know verizon is faster than most networks when it comes to them rolling out new technology *if it isn't a phone ;D*.
The only thing as of now is to wait until they release phones that have the ability to receive signals from the 700mhz band right? Basically with 1-2 year contract you'd notice that Moore's law doesn't wait for any one so your screwed until you want to get a phone at full price or wait it out.
