That's astonishing. I thought it would be about 2016 before LTE would be used for voice and texting, but apparently Verizon is moving things along quite rapidly: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57591213-94/verizon-says-first-lte-only-phones-to-arrive-in-late-2014/
That says late 2014. This is a short production run of an ultra advanced product. A few months early is less than surprising. So yes, this sounds like it will work on Verizon. I apologize for being wrong earlier, I had no idea that they would roll this out. On Jul 29, 2013 7:05 PM, "Daniel Clem" <clem11...@gmail.com> wrote: > NEW UPDATE!!!
