Keep in mind the 3G model comes with 100MB/mo data for 2 years; you're paying for the service too. I'd theorize that not being LTE is a way of keeping that bundled service as cheap as possible.
- mtgx 14y agoThat makes a bit of sense if they included the cost, but the whole idea doesn't. Why would I pay an extra $80 on a $250 device, just to get 100 MB's of data per month? If I was really looking for 100% Internet connectivity wherever I am, and I'd need a 3G/4G chip inside, I'd probably want a 5 GB data plan to go with it.
