The remark seems to have made the case I intended.

But, regarding the speculation, I'm sure you know how to work google and have your own trusted IT news sources so I'll leave you to that. But, you might want to check into the new LG handset chip for LTE that was recently announced and the Verizon announcement from Dec 9 stating it plans to begin deploying LTE in 2009. Specifically, look into discussions by people who I'd say would have a better knowledgea about this than you or I. Namely, the executive vice president and CTO of Verizon Communications stated, "We expect that LTE will actually be in service somewhere here in the U.S. probably this time next year."

I agree that people might not appreciate not being able to utilize all of the devices capablities right away, but this happens all the time. For many phones GPS or other features are turned off until a new ROM is produced. I understand your point, but on the other hand software such as email is a little different than a hardware feature.

By the way. I was right... I was making a joke because I knew you would disagree.
