[citation][nom]house70[/nom]Not too interested in the LTE thing, I hope the phones will be available in non-LTE flavor as well. I would like to try a WP7.5 phone (or maybe WP8 at that point) to see how it compares.[/citation]I don't really care about LTE at this point, either. However, if a phone has LTE, you don't need a seperate non-LTE model. The LTE model will still work fine on older networks. Having otherwise-identical 3G/4G models across the board would be a headache for everyone involved.
So while I don't look at LTE as a must-have feature, if a phone I want happens to have LTE, there's wrong with that. On a side note, I agree with stm1185. I'd like the Nokia Ace or a similar phone to appear on Verizon as well.
