TTBOMK, that isn't *quite* true, yet, Owen.
The only US carrier with LTE deployed is VZW, and their only *handset* with LTE is the not-yet-quite-shipped HTC Thunderbolt...
That's the US market. We are, as usual, traditionally well behind the rest of the world.
and it is my understanding that their first generation release of handsets will *not* be doing PSTN voice as VoIP over the LTE data connection; they'll be dual-mode handsets, using traditional (IS-95? IS-136?) CDMA voice on a separate RF deck. The two reasons I've heard have to do with battery life and the immaturity of the protocol stack or its implementations.
Sad. There are definitely LTE-data-only VOIP handsets in other deployments.
Of course. Silly me. :-) Cheers, -- jra

Couldn't fine Owens original post, so I'll ask here. Which are these handsets? Could you provide some names, please? Since I work for an LTE operator and haven't heard about them I'd really like to know. Considering the USB dongles get hot enough to fry eggs off of, I was under the impression it wasn't really possible to make a handset with a big enough battery to give any decent standby-time at this point in the tech evolution? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
