An FCC report for the mysteriously-named M13 have gone public, bearing signs of LTE support. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen LG waving around 4G-capable handsets, but it is a step towards commercial availability. Verizon’s burning the midnight oil trying to get LTE ready for a 2010 launch, and no doubt manufacturers like LG are getting equally prepared. The M13 in particular will also support EVDO, so you won’t necessarily have to worry about needing to be in a remote pilot area to actually get use out of the handset, but it won’t be until around 2011 that we see a full U.S.-wide rollout of LTE.
