And in all honesty, 4G will likely be more reliable and consistent on the iPhone 5 (as well as newer Android devices) thanks to the new chipsets. But, oh well... we're all VZW's guinea pigs for LTE anyway.
My understanding is that it should be more compact (3g and 4g 2-way radios implemented in one chipset instead of two), more reliable, and more energy efficient. The last I heard the new all-in-one chipsets were due in the 2nd half of 2012. I remember reading a lot about this during the lead-in to the iPhone 4gs introduction. The smarter, more tech-savvy analysts were saying that the iPhone 4gs would not have true 4g LTE because Apple was going to wait for the new all-in-one chipsets.
