Fact is, the phones they sell now, won't work in the future because they are going to GSM, Finally

& Then,

At&t and Verizon will Merge to take over the Nation, in which people will revolt and not buy contracts and start to buy off of EBay

Hahaha

YEah it was the natural upgrade for GSM.....Whereas Verizon's upgrade path was Qualcomms UWB...Verzon dropped UWB and jumped on the LTE bandwagon (with nudging by Vodaphone I am sure).

GSM phones will be backward compatible..CDMA I am not so sure. That will be fun to watch if they are not backwards compatible. There will be...

And I am sure verizon will do the same thing sprint is doing. Using 4g for data only for the first part of deployment. Qualcom already has a CDMA/LTE chip so phones will work for both its already been made and said. I am sure 4g for verizon will be only data also for a long time. They will eventually move to VOIP for voice on the LTE but for people that want that. CDMA will remain for a long long time. As will GSM or if they eventually move voice over to WCDMA like in Japan. GSM carrier more then likly will not move voice to LTE either for a long time.

Nah ATT will follow suit. If they don't they are not worried about it. I winder how many people they have on even 1500 minutes a month thats TWENTY FIVE HOURS on the phone during the day PER MONTH! Thats a a lot of talking. Outside a small group of business people I cannot see many needing more then that.

Home phone or Cell phone its incredible to me that people will spend 40-60 hours A MONTH gabbing on a phone....ANY phone.

Maybe shut-ins! I mean really. These are PRIMIE TIME daytime minutes Not counting the weekends and nights when people are NOT working for the most part! Do people actually go out and live their lives face to face anymore?

I hate being on the phone for long conversations. Thats me. Usually its take care of business, Say hi to someone.

If someone uses it for work I can understand. But not for just gabbing with...
