Apple and China Mobile have reportedly come to an agreement regarding a 4G iPhone. This could mean that the next generation iPhone might have 4G capabilities for other networks as well, such as Verizon’s LTE network or perhaps even Sprint’s WiMax. It’s far too early to tell or to speculate, of course, but China Mobile…
LG’s second high-end Android phone for the US, the Revolution, is set to hit Verizon next week on May 26th. This LTE-equipped handset will fit nicely alongside the Thunderbolt and Droid Charge, giving you three solid options for the blazing fast network.

Verizon’s 4G LTE is the hotness right now, but it’s not without issues.

Clearwire reported a net loss of $223 million for its first quarter and the 4G competition isn’t going to get any easier over the next few years.
