Will the Atrix work on AT&T's LTE network when they roll it out, or will it work on HSPA+ only?
What a scam calling HSPA+ 4G. Shame on you AT&T.
Although, technically, LTE isn't true 4G either...
I believe AT&T's LTE frequencies are also in the 700MHz range as well, so no.
I've also read the ITU is acceptiong HSPA+, LTE, WiMax etc as "4G" now.
But HSPA+ is on 3G frequencies not 4G (700 Mhz) frequency. This is why it is not "4G" even though it can be legally labeled as such.
The frequency a network runs on has nothing to do with its generation.
It is telling of the fact that it is old technology.
The reason LTE is going to be in the 700 MHz radio band is because it is no longer being used for television. It is not going there just because its new technology. I'm really not sure how you are coming to that conclusion, maybe i'm missing what you are trying to say?

To be fair, Sprint and T-Mobile are also calling theirs 4G and their speeds won't be much faster than AT&T's HSPA+.Will the Atrix work on AT&T's LTE network when they roll it out, or will it work on HSPA+ only?

True, 4G is kinda like Bluray. Even though there's attention around it it's kinda obsolete anyway when you consider Digital distribution will be a main form of video.
shut this thread down!
