Looks like a mistake, he/she confuses the SII with the Tab in multiple questions; Verizon needs to keep the interns away from twitter.
@VZWSupport confirms LTE in SGS2 on VZW!

This mistake rippling through the gadget blogosphere will only make it that much more disappointing if it ends up 3G only. We've had a taste!
I don?t think there?s much doubt that the phone will be 4G. The only question is what does the phone look like now? How much did they have to change to make it work.
What i like is how they followed it up with "Clarification"
No you SCREWED up.
Clarifying is saying "yes the SG2 will have LTE but only in select cities"
not
"I'm talking about the tab"
lol

I personally think in the first tweet that ^LM WAS referencing the GSII, not the tab. Everyone knows the Tab is 4g, its in the name, announce, and surly not worthy of a tweet, esp a "good news" tweet. Also note that the ^LM employee never tweets again, its all the ^CB and ^AC clarifying THEIR tweets. I think ^LM leaked when she/he wasn't supposed to and the other where trying to cover it up.
Now the question is; why would they try to cover that info up? This "close" to launch i would think this the perfect time to announce such a tantalizing piece of info.

Exactly what I was about to say. Everyone has known the Galaxy Tab 4G is LTE, and the way he said it was as if no one knew for sure yet. Probably said something he wasn't supposed to about the GS2.
You're right. Thats why I said that regardless of what they said the info will come out.
LM messed up and they are covering for him/her

Re: VZW support just Tweeted that SG2 will have LTE!!
Except that it's not true. Which you'd know if you read Android Central more often.

I agree with this. The only thing worse than a GS2 with only 3G on Verizon is if they Bing it.
Waaaaaaaaaah Wah. Roller coaster of emotions over here.
I think that saying it will have 4G and someone "slipped up" is wishful thinking. It might be right (I HOPE it is), but...
Kind of like what rkeller62 said in the Bionic rumors of how everyone dismisses later release dates and accepts earlier ones.

^LM is probably fired now and looking for a new job......
I can't wait to find more information about this phone, the Nexus Prime and Bionic. At this point I could go for either one depending on the exact specs and when they are released.
The next 4 to 8 weeks will be exciting.

Well LM did just tweet me back saying that they don't know the release date, so can't be any confusion there with the tab. Maybe a little hope that LM knows more than the others.

The biggest difference between this mistweet and the last time the GSII got confused with the Tab is this:
last time some one asked about the "Samsung Galaxy S 2" and the VZW rep confused the Galaxy part and replied, thinking about the Tab. that rep clearly didn't know what the GSII was.
This time, ^LM mentioned out of the blue the name "GSII". She didn't pull the term "GSII" from a tweeter to whom she/he was replying. If there was confusion between the tab and the GSII, she still knew about the GSII prior to tweeting. Just like no one mentioned "Fascinate 2" but the rep used that term anyway, later on.
to me this means that
A) she independently knows about the GSII and her employers didn't provide her with info. This means he/she is likely more tech savvy/informed and less likely to make a Tab/GSII mistake.
or
B) there is talk of the GSII within verizon, likely related to 4G and he/she honestly reported the wrong info, or the right info at the wrong time.
Either case looks to be promising.
Edit: I see now that LM was replying to @sparty569. I have not seen that tweet, but that info may invalidate my above post.

He first asked:
sparty569
@samsungtweets Is there anyway you can let us know if the Galaxy SII for VZW will have 4G? It will make many decisions easier if it is.
Later he RT the reply:
sparty569
WOAH!!! My new phone!!! RT @VZWSupport: @sparty569 Great news! The Samsung Galaxy SII will have 4G. ^LM
So it looks as though he did drop the Galaxy SII name beforehand, meaning that this could easily be a blunder and not a wonder.
My hopefulness just dropped 60 points

Funny it was on droid life before it was on here. Just saying.

Verizon: Galaxy Tab 10.1 -- not the Galaxy S II (yet) -- has LTE | Android Central
