Verizon teases us with 4G service page

[JohnDroid]

If your like me then you already believe that Verizon has the best wireless coverage of any carrier. That doesn't mean that Verizon won't continue to improve their service... not just in coverage area but also network speed. They've been dropping little hints all year long about the LTE network they are building and what cities it might be in, etc... but now they've gone and put up a full fledged teaser page on their site. The page is light on actual meat and potatoes but it's a start.

Check it out here: Verizon Wireless

Will this be available for people that have the droidx, droid 2, incredible or will it be for new devices only?

Just spoke with our companies Verizon rep and she was mentioning that the LTE will go live Q4 of this year, most likely November, and that broadband cards and usb modems will be the first devices to be on the LTE. Phones will likely be on the network Q2 or Q3 of 2011. Can't wait!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the terms Q2 or Q3 so does that mean our current devices will upgrade to the 4G?

LTE will not work with any of the phones currently available from Verizon.

Ditto.....nor will it work on any of the current air cards...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the terms Q2 or Q3

Q2 and Q3 means 2nd and 3rd Quarter of 2011

When this finally does hit it is going to be Nice

That sucks but hopefully there will be upgrades to keep us happy. Hookbill, have you personally heard or read of any new updates for the os for the droid 2? I remember reading a thread about it yesterday. But it was related to the problems with flash security problems

Correct. Upgrades will have to happen all the way around in order to be on the LTE. Current 3G devices will run on the 3G network only.

Actually, in Verizon-speak, Q2= Jul-Aug-Sep and Q3= Oct-Nov-Dec...

Sorry for the confusion, I was thinking in calendar year terms. She said the spring or summer of 2011.

It does... I was referring to the fact that Verizon NEVER meets it's scheduling goals.
