Verizon's will have UMTS on it. They already have a Video out of it and the Pictures show 3G instead of the Ev.

Verizon will probably have the most gimped of any of the TP2 coming out.

Yeah probably ☹️ ... How likely do you think it would be that the Sprint one would work on Verizon?

You could get phone service to work, but no guarantee on everything else

It's not. I've seen the phone. It has the full RAM and everything. Everyone likes our better then the Sprint one because of the back. Sprint has holes or something in the back while Verizon's has the Continents on the back and T-Mobile has some odd color.

If you want to talk about gimped, tell me why there is no WiFi on the HTC Snap? Verizon's version (Ozone) has WiFi.

Sprint has better high speed internet connections nationwide so wifi isn't necessary.

It's ironic but Verizon's control over their network is one of the reasons why they are able to provide coverage across the U.S. While ATT and Sprint struggle to with adding more towers to the same area to handle their network data. Verizon limits phone abilities in order to keep this use in check. That way they can focus on spreading their network aka buying up other smaller companies. They will gimp this phone but in 2-3 years once they have developed a java relationship then their phones will start to ungimp some.

"Verizon limits phone abilities in order to keep this use in check".

To validate your post, this was a very cunning yet respectful way to point out that Verizon charges more and offers less to their subscribers. Brilliant! I couldn't agree with you more.

HAHA! That is funny stuff.

Mektah why would they change something that is obviously working pretty well. According to your theory expenses will eventually decrease for vzw and you think they will pass that on to the customer???!!! I can see the exec's right now:

"Guys we are making way too much money now that we don't have to keep expanding our network. Let's give some to the customers..."

I serisously doubt it
