The Inspire and LTE

[Richard-SSV]

I just got my Inspire a few weeks ago and will be locked into this phone for the next 2 years. Since AT&T is claiming to upgrade their network to LTE by the end of the year I am curious if the Inspire will run on LTE or if it will only run on HSPA+?

I've read that AT&T is planning to have both networks up so that it you go into an area without LTE you will still be able to run on HSPA+. However, they haven't said whether or not the Inspire will run on both. Can anyone confirm whether or not the Inspire will run on LTE when and if At&t gets it up and running?

The INSPIRE 4G is NOT an LTE phone!!!! If you want a TRUE LTE phone, you better bounce on over to Verizon and get a Thunderbolt!

If and WHEN *LTE* arrives (in 2013?), it will require a new phone!


"It'll be the first 4G-capable handset from AT&T, with a caveat. Although the nation's #2 wireless carrier is marketing the handset as 4G-capable, in reality it runs on their HSPA+ cellular network, not the fourth-generation Long Term Evolution radio technology commonly refereed to as 4G LTE or just LTE."

There is no LTE radio in this phone. AT&T will be upgrading to LTE but the inspire will only do HSPA+
