The first dual-core LTE handset for Verizon has been spotted with a new design that’s certainly more appealing than its previous clunky hardware we saw earlier this year. Oddly enough, the Droid Bionic’s redesign is so drastic it looks as if Motorola has just repackaged the handset into another existing design, which looks somewhat similar…
LightSquared, Nokia Siemens Networks’ 4G LTE baby, just raised $265 million in another round of funding from new and existing investors for its coming 4G network. To date, LightSquare has raised $2.3 billion despite launch issues due to GPS interference. However, the company seems to have solved its GPS woes and seems to be confident…

Most of the documents revolve around AT&T’s LTE rollout, including how they plan on implementing…
Cricket is launching its very own LTE network, and it plans to start testing in Tucson, Arizona first. In fact, the company will begin testing during the second half of this year using the Huawei E397 dual-mode modem, which tells us that USB modems and perhaps mobile hotspots will arrive long before LTE-capable smartphones will.…
LG’s first LTE device hasn’t been available for too long now and we’re already seeing incredible price cuts for the device.
