While I don't put a lot of faith into the Australian article, I'm looking forward to LTE. Both AT&T and Verizon are planning LTE rollouts on their recently acquired 700MHz blocks within a couple of years. Verizon (in conjunction with Vodaphone) has stated that they plan to start testing LTE this year, in hopes of a 2010 launch. From what I've seen on respective wikipedia pages, LTE looks faster, and I'm not sure how much faith I have in Sprint rolling out WiMax in the near future (as they've been saying that they'll start since mid last year, and we were supposed to have it here in Boston pretty close to now).

So, I'll probably end up with an LTE Android phone alongside my n800. The new n810 sounds really cool, but I'm not sure if they'll roll WiMax out before LTE becomes available. Plus, I don't want to part with the storage capacity of my n800.

I'm looking forward to a more usable mobile internet. Currently, with Verizon, all that is really usable is loading static pages, sometimes streaming music. I haven't ever had a fast enough connection to watch any streaming video without waiting until the entire thing loads first.
