4G LTE on the Photon

[Jay20]

So I understand that while the phone is optimized for WiMax 4G, I read on XDA and elsewhere on the internet that the Photon, with a firmware update, could operate on LTE. I also read a story that a Verizon 4G LTE SIM card worked in a Photon (a worldphone) and that a few engineers think it would work with LTE. Whats the true deal on this? It is one of the newer 4G Sprint devices.

From what I've read on forums, it's not possible because the MoPho would need the LTE radios in order to work.

That would be interesting if this phone would work on verizons lte

check out this link can anyone further corroborate this?

There was talk of doing some kind of LTE using the wimax but Sprint got out of Clear.com, so I wouldn't count on it.

what do you mean? is there some kind of aftermarket mod to unleash this phone's potential?

There is in fact lte whatever when I looked..

But I doubt it will work on the lte network

It all depends on radios.. There is no way it would work
