    4g network

    What happens with verizon 3g phones when their 4g network comes out? how fast will it be (mbps)? when is it coming out? will the preexisting smart phones from verizon work on the 4g network? and just a little side question.. when will the nexus one hit verizon (official yet)?

    Re: 4g network

    I'm not sure about when that specific phone comes out, but I can answer some of the other questions you have.

    3G phones will work on Verizon's 4G LTE network. Heck, an older EDGE phone will work on that network. A 3G phone will NOT work on AT&T's 4G network, but AT&T still has their EDGE network in place, so for them to stop allowing access to 3G seems unlikely.

    As for speeds, I use a Verizon 4G MiFi in a 3G market, speeds are typically around 1.5Mbps. When in a 4G market my speeds on the same MiFi average around 20Mbps. Verizon claims that speeds are up to 10 times faster with their 4G and my experience is that, for once, it's not technical double-talk.

    Hope that helps some.
