😲 here is finally proof from a 100% reliable source.

everyone knows motorola they make your guys moto q, z6, v9m and v3 maxx

for all of those "I'll Die for Verizon" out there when HSxPA is used its refurring to hsdpa and/or hsupa (because Downlink does not effect Uplink speeds)

I think his point was Verizon has to use an extension of the GSM technology to keep up and abandon EV-DO.

jesus christ your still saying that. LTE is not an extension of GSM if anything it is CDMA since it is based off of it like WCDMA. Even though it not close to CDMA its based off the same principle. GSM has nothing to do with LTE not even remotely.

"Verizon Wireless today announced it would support "Long Term Evolution" (LTE), the super fast 4G technology currently in testing from Nokia and its European friends in the 3GPP group, and operating at a blistering 100Mbps. It's certainly hot technology, but one seen as an extension of GSM's high-speed packet technology. This is a rejection of CDMA's EV-DO (which has a faster Rev. C that could have been rolled out) and a definite rejectio...

Read up on LTE and you will understand. It may be seen as an extension because that is the upgrade path of GSM carriers. However if you read on the tech you will see it has NOTHING to do with GSM. GSM ended with 2g. Att 3g is based of WCDMA.

The markets have UMTS/HSDPA and are behind the areas covered by VZW and Sprint. at@t is not using HSxPA and has announced HSUPA upgrades this summer through the end of year and then transition to HSPA+ prior to LTE.

You need to research before putting your foot in your mouth.

durkadurkha- You are a complete moron if you believe what this link shows is what at@t is using. HSxPA is not being used by at@t and by the time it is VZW will likely be using EVDO RevB which is comparable. This link also advises EVDO, what version are they talking about, RevO, RevA, or RevB????

att data on. They don't even have 3g in allot of places. Were verizon and sprint are almost network wide. And for the most part faster. And if you are talking data then you would want sprint so you don't worry about the cap. But that would depend on what you want to do with it. But I think sprint is cheaper either way.

Myself like now I am tethered with my alltel phone using sprint because I am in cali. I am averaging 700kbs through bluetooth. And its all free don't even pay for the internet.

OF course you will.

Seems to me judging by Verizon's multiple maps of coverages you cannot use certain features when you can use voice. Otherwise why four different coverage maps?

ATT and T Mobile uses one Map its all "In Network" One can use all services from internet to photo messaging and GPS services everywhere there is voice coverage.

you really are a retard arn't you

A vzw phone can use any vzw service it is capabe of and provisioned for wile in vzw coverage.

not everything on those maps is vzw coverage though some of that area is"extended network" aka data roaming. And some of it is on smaller carriers that might not have mms or other services available on thier network .

I know this for a fact as i am a network the and theres othing about a cell site that can stop mms messaging.

Voice quality? LOL are you making CDs of your phone calls?

I can understand every word spoken on my phone.

Voice Quality means nothing as long as you can understand what the caller is sayomg. Your "implication" is GSM has garbled Voice quality and is tough to understand LOL

The phone has as much to do with voice quality then the network anyway. There are far too many variables to put all your Verizon marbles in "Voice Quality" LOL

Yeah but actual phone calls are becoming second to other uses for wireless technology. OF course being a Verizon customer, those options are limited. Even on a Verizon phone with GPS you cannot use the GPS chip unless you sign up with Verizon Navigator!!!

I suppose you will be saying next the "text messages" are "clearer" as well on CDMA phones...
