said by IowaCowboy:Rumors are very strong that a new iPhone is coming out in upcoming months and some VZW store employees are speculating that it will have 4G LTE.
A very good indicator that a 4G iPhone is in the pipeline is the 4G iPad.
My upgrade date is in November 29, 2012. Hopefully we'll have a 4G LTE iPhone by then.
I had an upgrade available and was going to do the same thing but then i found out that verizon wont be allowing you to keep your unlimited plan unless you upgraded prior to a few days ago. Supposedly the only way you can keep your unlimited plan would be to pay the full retail price.
I wound up placing a pre-order for the galaxy s III in order to keep my unlimited plan and get on the 4g network, worst case scenario if I dont like the galaxy s III, I'll sell it on ebay and buy the iphone5 for full retail price in order to keep my unlimited plan.
