Spreadsheet comparing Verizon LTE phones

[roberte1342]

On the simultaneous voice and data part. My understanding of LTE is that VoLTE (Voice over LTE) needs to be rolled out before it will work.
An article at Verizon successfully completes first VoLTE call on commercial network in the world, plans 2012 availability -- Engadget mentions the first ever test call last month and that it is expected to roll out sometime in 2012. Anyone hoping for this feature out of the box, don't get your hopes up quite yet.
One of the nice things about VoLTE I'm looking forward to is the improved sound quality. Of course it will only be improved if the other party has VoLTE or similar.
My X will be up for a NE2 next March, will be interesting to see whats available by then.

My NE2 is up in February. I am starting to look at my options. I will be a BB defector. I have absolutely no idea where to start.

After the flurry of info pouring out of CES this past week about the upcoming Verizon LTE phones, I started a Google Docs spreadsheet to pull all of the specs together so I could compare them side-by-side to help me figure out which one I wanted to make my next phone. Then I realized that it might be helpful to others as well, so I prettied it up a bit and made the link publicly viewable.

Most of the information was gathered from the official press releases, official web site, and the articles by Android Central's intrepid reporters. I wanted to stick to the facts instead of reacting to every rumor.

The link is below. I hope you find it helpful. I will continue to update it as more information becomes available. Feel free to send me a PM if you've found sources for any of the missing information or if I made an error (gasp!). Enjoy!

Richard thank you so much for this detailed comparison. Any new updates on this or are you done adding to this for now since it appears you went with a Thunderbolt!

Thanks again!

Glad you found it useful. I don't plan on updating it any more at this point since three of the four phones are available now and specs on them are easy to find. The fourth (Bionic) is getting a major overhaul and bears little resemblance to what was presented at CES.

A belated thanks for the work you put into this

Should this either be updated or taken off sticky?
