We told ya’ LG Revolution will be the first Verizon Wireless phone to support voice and super-fast LTE data simultaneously. LG is demoing the device at the Mobile World Congress, showing it handling both Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Video call over LTE. In other words, if you’re a Revolution-ownin’ Verizon customer, you will be able to receive emails and other notifications even while on a (video) phone call, which is neat. To be fair that was possible for years with GSM-based networks like AT&T, T-Mobile and pretty much all European carriers.
LG uses the so called “One Voice” protocol that emerged from the GSMA initiative to create a global standard for delivering voice and messaging services over LTE, and which is expected to be widely adopted by mobile makers in the future.
As a reminder, the Revolution runs Android 2.2 Froyo and also comes with a large 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen, solid camera, GPS and other “standard for Android” goodies. It will be available during the first of half of the year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
