1. Cricket will be getting the Motion as there 1st LTE phone there going to be calling it the LG Regard Cricket's first 4G LTE phone. The LG LW770 Regard

2. Does anyone think the Motion is capable of being a world phone which is a phone capable of working on any network, the GS3 is capable through a software update & they both have the same radio in them http://www.anandtech.com/show/4940/qualcomm-new-snapdragon-s4-msm8960-krait-architecture/4 or (look at special features) Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 (Snapdragon S4) Multi-core Application Processor with Modem Datasheet | CPUlist | PDAdb.net so after the merger do you guys think we could get access to tmobiles network
 
the snapdragon is the processor....NOT the radio....
the snapdragon s4 is a SoC (System on Chip) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip) so it includes the radio which is incorporated into the chip that's why the 2 links I posted above show what cellular technologies are supported by it

Plus*– Snapdragon S4 Plus processors bring outstanding application processing and leading-edge 3G and 4G internet connection speeds. Processors in the S4 Plus tier include MSM8960- http://androidandme.com/2012/08/sma...plains-the-system-of-tiers-for-snapdragon-s4/

1. I guess I was right because under the LGSERVICEMENU theres settings for GSM/UMTS & then settings for 4G HSPA+ http://db.tt/WwCnZZgY http://db.tt/yV5pOd7U so I guess it is capable of being a world phone

2. There's settings for 4G roaming on Verizon in the Verizon Hidden Menu

1 means nothing, my old optimus m has settings to change radio to GSM network, of course it doesn't work.

2 means nothing, many phones do that, the optimus s for Sprint has a menu with Verizon settings.
