kudos:1 | Verizon to Implement LTE on 1700 & 2100 MHz This year »news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-575741···ag=title |

| Looks like devices will be locked later this year then. Current LTE devices on 700Mhz are not sim locked because of rules when they bought the 700Mhz spectrum.
700Mhz = not sim locked
1700 or 2100 = sim locks will be back |

| Perfect timing in light of the Library of Congress deciding the consumer can not legally unlock his phone, except with the carrier's blessing.

Great, so their LTE signal will suck even worse indoors.

Yes, because it's at 700Mhz I get a great LTE signal in my basement condo. I get several bars. But the higher cell frequencies will give me between zero bars and one bar. |

I could only get one or no bars LTE at my home. This was not usable i returned the phone and went back to my old 3g iPhone. I get a full / decent 3g signal. LTE needs more work in this area. |

kudos:3 | My only direct comparison was in December of 2011. I had a Galaxy Nexus and when I went to my in-laws in NE Pennsylvania, I had a marginal LTE signal. Going into their house (or basically any other structure), I'd drop to 3G. People joked that it's because my in-laws' house had aluminum siding (read: faraday cage) and that was why, but in the same place I had marginal 3G signal on the Nexus I had a weak (but usable and much faster than 3G) 4G signal on the HTC Rezound.
