What a shame. I like Verizon and the I phone. However, I will not be able to spend $600.00 for a phone. The Storm is nice, however, the apps are not there. What a rip off.</p> I understand that when Verizon “gets” the I phone it will cost $600 instead of the $200 at AT&T. What a shame. I like Verizon and the I phone.

AT&T will roll out the LTE network in 2011. We've seen that one of the limiting factors for 3G has been the 3G chip sets and their power consumption. The first gen iPhone didn't have a 3G chipset. The current one has a power hungry one. My question is what happens with LTE? Clearly, the first chips will be intended to work first and consume power at a lower rate later. Is waiting for LTE better for the iPhone? Likely. But can we all wait that long. One more thing. The Europeans will likely have LTE earlier. Does Apple offer one device for the world or go with 2 devices in the near future?</p> OK. AT&T will roll out the LTE network in 2011.

I know, it'll never happen because the best 3G areas will get 4G first because you have to put the money where the money comes from to some extent. In any case, looking forward to 100M/bit OTA :) Assuming it won't fry my brain as I use it.</p> Interesting thought that will never happen – deploying 4G first in areas that need 3G coverage but aren’t currently serviced.

We have this year and the next to wait for it. There will be three iPhones out by then. This also might affect Apple's movement technology wise with the iPhone. They could possibly have HD on the next iPhone this summer. Who knows what they have have the following year. They will have a iPhone in 2010 with the same cellular technology as their iPhone in 2008. I hope there is some kind of 3.5G speeds in the mean time that current 3G models can tap into. With LTE, I want to see the same things people in Europe have ( video conference ) with cheap plans.</p> I think 2011 is too far away. We have this year and the next to wait for it.
