When is Verizon going 4G???

[Bloodgod42]

When is Verizon going 4G? I have heard conflicting reports between "it's coming this year" and "Mid-2011" and was just wondering if anyone here had a more clear answer.

Also, is there any rumors to what Verizons first 4G phone might be?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Really depends on your city. Larger metro markets will be online before smaller cities of course. I would not expect verizon 4G phones for several months

I think I saw an article recently where they will have 5 test cities this year and full rollout late 2011/early 2012.

Also read that Sprints 4G is apparently just a firware difference from Verizons LTE.

Select cities end of this year, full roll out by the end of next year....I think

Yeah, I've read from several sources that Verizon is planning on having its first 4G phone out next summer or so. Of course, nothing is definite, so that could easily be moved up or back depending on how well the network production goes.
