HTC Puccini To Begin Volume Production in June – Supporting AT&T’s LTE Network

this is for all this ATT 4G LTE business. Apparently a tablet with 4g will be released in summer. So its not just some hotspot thingy

I'm enjoying my 12 down on my G2X on T-mobile.

Have fun with that while I enjoy 25-30Mbps. Even had 48Mbps today while I was out and about.

I am. I also have a battery that will last me 26 hours on a single charge.

If I really wanted to I could easily go 24 hours on a single charge. I've done it before. However it's not needed as I'm close to a charger quite often. The battery life issues are greatly overstated. It's not like I'm constantly looking for a charger if I'm out running around.

Having had a thunderbolt, I would take a G2X or Sensation over an LTE device any day of the week. (oh, and that 26 hours is with no battery tweaks, no massively changed sync schedule, nothing. Try getting more than 14 hours on a bolt doing that )

Um... I do. Now I will admit that Verizon's LTE network in St. Louis is probably the most robust and stable network in the country (regardless of type) so that probably helps quite a bit.

QTo continue the thread jack I too get 22 hours of life on my bolt every day. And four hours of that is with the screen on meaning I'm actively playing a game or on the net. Still have email, weather, and news sync.



I cannot wait for the bionic to come out. Not because im interested in getting it but there needa to be compitition on vzw in the market to this stalemate of single core 1ghz froyo phones. But if it comes with anything less than 756 MB of ram they should shoot themselves.

Motorola Droid Bionic may get blindsided this summer

The latest reports suggest that Verizon's biggest rival, AT&T, are already testing their first 4G smartphone and may be unleashed this summer as well.

Um, isn't the Motorola Atrix the first 4G phone on AT&T? So why is this big news, let alone something that bests the Bionic? Outside of what we know about the Bionic's specs, isn't it the reputation of Verizon that also adds to the Bionic's desirability? Outstanding phone on outstanding network makes it a combo thing, not just a phone thing. Plus, I doubt AT&T will have anywhere near the number of covered cities that Verizon will have at the same time. Additionally, any benefits gained in AT&T's network will also be shared by Moto's Atrix hardly making Moto some sort of loser.

A lot of hype, I say.

Well it was their first FauxG phone. It was the first phone where AT&T decided to call their HSPA+ network 4G. They got mad at T-Mobile for doing it, but when nobody listened to their whining they went ahead and did it as well because they didn't want to be left behind with the likes of Sprint and Verizon actually having next generation technologies and T-Mobile calling their HSPA+ network 4G.

The Atrix isn't LTE as far as I know, so it has nothing to do with and won't benefit from the 5 cities where AT&T wants to turn on LTE. Someone on the Inspire forum was asking about whether or not the Inspire could work on LTE since it's pretty close to the same as the Thunderbolt and everyone had to explain to the poster that it didn't have an LTE radio.

This is where AT&T is really being stupid about calling their HSPA+ network 4G while they are still planning on implementing LTE because I have a feeling they will start to get their customers po'd at them. I honestly thought that AT&T may have given up on LTE or put it off because they started calling their HSPA+ network 4G.

This might be More Trouble For The Boinic/Targa.

I seriuosly doubt AT&T can do such speeds. Just more marketing to keep people from jumping ship since LTE is still a long ways away.

Its more than possible for them to do those speeds; it would be shocking if it isn't FASTER than that.

Its coming sooner than you think, since 5 markets will be live this summer. It just won't be on handsets at that point.
