I'm not sure why you'd want it. The 3g I get on my Jolla now is faster than my landline broadband.
Not to mention that with current data caps one can't reasonable use even the current perfectly fine 3G or even GPRS/EDGE networks!

Data cap? Thankfully my tariff isn't that stone age! Unlimited data here for me.

Just to let you all know when I asked about the Sailfish launcher for Android I got a large amount of negative comments on xda forums and negative Karma on together.jolla.
So do not ask when the launcher will come out or any details because you will become public enemy #1 and I have no idea why.

Can't say why together.jolla.com users would give you negative karma for that, but for XDA it is probably 'Not Invented Here' syndrome, as well as not being open source. If it would be opensourced, I think they would love it and then fork it to a million variations as fast as the cat sneezes.

I'm disappointed to the android launcher situation generally. IMHO they are all copies of the same user paradigm and differing from each other only by the amount of the basic options they offer. There have been some with more idea to them, but those have vanished without reaching any kind of stable status.

@Dave999
yes they said all that, but at the same time they managed to deliver something important as well. Do not forget that there is a hostile environment for newcomers, look at the first Ubuntu mob attempt.

the most important thing is jolla to stay alive, bug fixes and upgrades will come. at the moment I spend €399 to get the device and I cannot afford to get another phone soon.

I'm lucky when I get a 3G signal in Germany, and people are talking about LTE here, which is known to suck battery like crazy, is data-only, and virtually non-existent.

4G itself does not such battery that much more than 3G BUT what does suck battery is looking 4G connection and switching to 3G and then switching back to 4G, that is the main battery drain with 4G.

Weird, 85% of poland is covered by LTE already (actually, 85% of populace as most big cities are on, probably not much else). Haven't noticed it sucking battery like crazy (though like mariusmssj noted failback switching could increase the drain), does go fast if you are tethering at the same time, but just browsing/streaming is very similar to what wlan/3g usage does

Well, 3G with its terribly weak coverage is already sucking battery a lot, so if LTE is not better in this regard, it's unsuitable for everyday's use.

And doesn't the phone have to be connected to 3G/4G at the same time, because with 4G only, you couldn't make plain phone calls, as it's data-only, and IP-telephony not yet deployed in the mobile space?

I just don't see any benefit of LTE in 2014 yet, except for bringing broadband to rural areas where no DSL or cable network is available, and that is not a phone use-case.
