You're thinking from a engineer's perspective, and not average joe. Average joe cares about are downloads 'fast', not that is has to have LTE. LTE is overkill for a broadly marketed product right now considering all the other sacrifices you would be making in form factor, power, buggy new baseband firmware, what people consider broadband speed (4mbps is broadband according to FCC) etc etc.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI don't think those compromises are fair. Again, devices on the market NOW (aside from battery life) just aren't plagued with the issues that everyone's acting they are. Also, I don't know, but my 3G feels incredibly slow after playing with some 4G phones, hell VZW's 4G coverage is shockingly wide already. (Of course, the definition of 4G and broadband are jokes here in the States. VZW and AT&T's 4G isn't even legally 4G, but they lobbied the international consortium to allow them to use the label until they actually get it up to snuff).
