OMFG!!! Next nexus is 4G LTE.

[cruzer_lite]

att is going to have 4g lte also so that may or may not be for vzw

Verizon is all about having the best covering network, which they do better than anyone else. I just don't see them as the company to come out with this (albeit, I would love it being that I am a VZW customer). They sold their souls to Sata...er...Jobs to try and steal some iOs market share from AT&T and I think they pretty much blew their load on that deal.

It would be perfect if this were a world phone on Verizon. Only way I'll sign another two-year contact.

We don't know if Verizon will allow unlocked lte devices on their network. If they don't actively block unlocked devices, they don't have to support it. It just has to be compatible with their network.

There was some confusion just after HTC announced that they were unlocking they're bootloaders when a VZW rep tweeted that Verizon wouldn't allow phones with unlocked bootloaders on they're network. Verizon was quick to issue a correction. Apparently the rep confused bootloaders with SIM cards, and Verizon will indeed be allowing unlocked bootloaders on they're network. They have plenty of phones with unlocked bootloaders on they're network now, in fact. My Droid Incredible is unlocked, rooted and running a custom ROM and it works on Verizon's network just fine.

I didn't mean unlocked in that sense. I meant it in the sense that you can buy an unlocked gsm phone and use it on any gsm network as long as it has the supported bands.

We don't know if vzw will allow network unlocked devices on their lte network. If a variant of the next nexus supports 700 MHz on band 13, will Verizon allow it on their network.

I see. My bad then.

Exclusive: Google Nexus 4G detailed - 720p display, 4G LTE, Android 4.0

The article mentions the OMAP 4460 processor. Does anyone else besides Motorola use OMAP processors? Isn't Motorola "due" to design the next Google Nexus device? HTC and Samsung got their chances.

 

[Johnly]

Now this is a device izzy would jump on above all others.

 

[fatboy97]

Verizon is my vote... I know it's not about voting, but I seriously doubt I will really get a say... but it might be a great new device around January of next year... as a replacement for my Tbolt.

Logic says yes they are due but these things are not usually based on logic. I'm going to guess that it will be Samsung based on the pics. Regardless who makes it I'd love to get a hold of it but I'd be willing to bet it's going to AT&T for their LTE launch. Thats my opinion....

come on sprint!!!!

 

[shipwrestler125]

Idk why they just don't launch it on all 4 major carriers. Would make more sense and more sales but who knows anymore.

My thoughts exactly. The Nexus phones should be available on all four major carriers. Why they aren't is beyond me, but at least Sprint is on board now, and hopefully Verizon will follow suit. If they don't then Sprint will likely be gaining a new customer when the next Nexus phone is released.

 

[Verdes8891]

Do we know which manufacturer is making it this time?

If the rumors of a Google/Sprint merger by the end of the year are true, you can bet Sprint will be getting this first.

Not yet. I'm still hoping HTC gets it, though LG wouldn't be bad either.
