Isn't the LTE issue overblown?

• pja 14y ago
  Yes, for the moment. LTE will be standard in a couple of years time & by then voice over LTE will (hopefully) so we won't need the ridiculous hack of falling back to the 3G connection for voice with it's negative effects on battery life. Until then, LTE is for those who have to have the latest thing, regardless of price or who actually need the data rates achievable with LTE and have coverage where you're likely to be using it.

    >>Until then, LTE is for those who have to have the latest thing Um, no. There's a mountain of difference between HSPA+ and LTE. The former is like having medium-speed cable Internet, and the latter is like having FIOS. This has a direct impact on user experience.

  From my non-scientific tests, it seems like LTE has much lower latency than 3G networks. That's a big deal for me.
