Handsets

So does anyone know when compatible handsets are going to hit the market or if any current models can be updated to use VoLTE? I seem to recall at least one of them already being capable of doing it, but I can't recall which one.

From what I read, Any smartphone with LTE radios can be software updated to support VoLTE voice.

That would make sense, since you're just talking about manipulating bits.

But I seriously doubt my Thunderbolt will get such an update, since it's getting a bit long in the tooth, but my upgrade date isn't until December, so I have time to see how things shake out.

It will probably just be a very intergrated version of googlevoice. Better sound quality and seemless.

Verizon then can work at sunsetting CDMA and use that bandwidth for LTE.
