LTE Smartphone with GSM for Global??
Any rumors of an LTE smartphone with GSM for global roaming (like the Droid 2 Global)? I currently have a BB Tour due to needing the international services, but I am elligible for an upgrade next month. I was previously planning on getting the Droid 2 Global, but now that LTE is available in my market, I am wondering if it makes sense to wait for an LTE/Global combo.
If it's only a few months out then I would probably wait, but if it's going to be 1+ years (like from the launch of Droid to the D2G), then I'd probably get the D2G now and upgrade to LTE next time around.
Of course, we haven't heard anything about LTE voice plans yet, so that could always derail my plan here, but we'd have to see once launched.
What have you guys he...

Ok so first off all of the 4g LTE phones will use sim and be global capable. not sure if its LTE (data only) or if it will be compatible with GSM UICC for voice at rollout. Second the voice plans for Verizon will stay the same just the data plans will...

Battery Life
I'm still skeptical about battery life... especially since no mention of a new battery technology
I noticed one of the phones had a 1900ish MAH battery... most today are 1000-1500 tops.. so it might not be new technology as much as just a bigger battery.
