Re: In another word

Verizon and Vodafone representatives have outright stated 2010 as their target to begin deployment in the United States (not on the rest of Vodafone's networks, though, the US will be first)- now, targets always shift, as countless examples show.

CDMA carriers are going to go to 4G before the GSM carriers- unfortunately for all its benefits, CDMA EV-DO is a dead end. Rev. B or C are unlikely to ever be taken up. On the other hand, 3G still has a ways to go in the US- some overseas carriers (I think Telstra in Australia is one of them) have much higher speeds, and HSPA+ allows this, so they can delay the total network replacement for a bit longer. CDMA carriers don't have this luxury.

I can certainly see verizon making the transition faster than AT&T. I seriously doubt that tmobile has any intention of rolling out LTE anytime soon. They are still working on deploying their 3g network to more than a handfull of large metro areas. They would need to operate that network Theoretically longer to ensure a return on investment, thus no hurry.

And yes I know they're part of the LTE group or whatever it's called. Merely stating not to hold your breath for tmobile LTE until LONG after the others.
