How important is lte or 4g to you?

[DroidXDoes4G]

Anyone that buys a new Verizon phone today that's not 4G capable is foolish. Even if your area doesn't have 4G now, in the 2 years you will have your "new" 3G phone there is a good chance that it will.

And what about when you travel? all major cities will have it and so will all the airports.

If the SII doesn't have 4G no way in hell will I buy it, I don't care what the screen looks like etc. And in the Bionic turns out to be a dog I can wait till a better 4G phone comes out.

I couldn't agree with you less. :happy:

What if someone wants there battery to actually last?
What if someone doesn't want these 1st gen LTE radios?
What if someone has wifi around them most of the day?
What if someone doesn't want to pay the much higher prices for the phones?

To add to that...

What if someone simply prefers a phone that isn't 4g?

I decided I needed a 4g phone last week when I upgraded. I've never been a fan of htc phones so I bought the DROID charge. After spending a day with it, I decided I would be happier having a slow old DROID 3. So what if it takes me 5 minutes to pay my gas bill and you can do it in 2 minutes.

Then they can just turn the 4G radio off.

I don't mean prefers not to have a 4g phone. I mean prefers a specific phone that isn't a 4g phone. Did you read the rest of my post?

Im pretty sure VZ's isnt true 4G, even though no other US carrier comes close.

I go back and north with it...the vast majority of the time I don't use 4G but it sure is nice and necessary for things like streaming netflix during my lunch break.

4g is sweet when it works. It depends on where your at. For me I don't use it unless Im going to be planted in the same spot for a wail and the signal is strong. The problem with 4g is that it goes in and out causing you to loose you connection and place . Its annoying when that happens.

All the problems everyone says about it dropping all the time makes me think im not missing out on anything. I haven't had a 4G phone so I couldn't never compare between my d3 and something else

I came from a feature phone so 3g was faster than what I had. Next phone will have it, but wasn't an issue last yr.

Sent from someplace, and with something that you need not worry about.
