Yes initially but in thee later stages LTE should be faster 9/10 times and if not it wouldn't even be much of a difference you'd still get good enough HSPA+ speedsHere 's what I think is a good question;
Do you think it's likely at all that IF you had a LTE GSM Metro phone that there'd be a location where you'd want to disable LTE because HSPA data was faster? Would you still be able to make/receive calls?
[EDIT] OR will the phone pick which signal is strongest on it's own?

I don't know about all of you guys but I'm all built up on the suspense
LTE launches in June unless said otherwisehow do you know spill the beans. im also in ny
Yup this is all June
If you look at the coverage map they have FL pretty well covered with HSPA and then theyre supposed to about match HSPA coverage(220 mill) with LTE thats supposed to cover 200 million by the end of the year
Tmobile has the newer and more efficient equipment that's also ready for LTE-Advanced, how they are really rolling out LTE so quickly is that with the 1900MHz refarm they also started using new equipment that had better HSPA and LTE radio and other goodness built in. So most refarmed areas already have LTE installed waiting to be activated. So its not like theyre going out to do LTE only.
