Its a beta release for LTE? No. Verizon doesn't need a Beta phone, they have plenty of testers on their own. In fact, knowing that the Bionic has been cancelled because 1, it can't handle the transition from LTE to CDMA and vice-versa, and 2, its supposedly superior dual core can't keep the software from running out of control and overheating the phone to the point where it breaks. But hey, the TBolt has been out for about a month and its biggest complaint is 'battery life sucks'. Transition from today's technology to tomorrows? Sure, if you are only looking at the fact it has one core. But that one core is a blazing fast 2nd gen Snapdragon that puts it on par with any phone out there, including the now-cancelled Bionic.
And if you want to look at a phone who's only selling point is the fact that its LTE, look no further than the Droid Charge, which will be the TBolt's only competitor for the foreseeable future.
