i've posted this on other threads, but figured it was relevant here. trying to get what people think about this info, and obviously, take it with a grain of salt.
so i just heard something new from my local verizon rep, and maybe this is old news, but it was a shock to me. after asking several questions about signal strength and 4g-related questions, she told me that on the (2/)24th, the thunderbolt would be available, but would only run on the 3g cdma network until summer, when they would officially launch the mobile 4g lte network. this would mean that no matter where you are, the thunderbolt would only be 3g till some time this summer. she called it a "4g ready" phone, to be later upgraded to 4g.
did i miss this? i was under the impression that if you were in a 4g city, it worked at launch. i guess i was being overly optimistic...
