4g phone

[Ittai]

I just tested the 4g cell data speed, was blown away...over to 5.5mb download and over1.4mb upload very nice...!!

I had a 4g phone and the speed is great.

I'm still on the Android Fascinate, which I still don't get full use out of. I already have too much to distract me on my computer, I don't want a mobile computer on the road.

I still only have a 3g phone myself.  I'm planning on getting a 4g when I upgrade though.

Yeah, that sounds great, but what is the plan you are on and the cell phone service provider. Some providers sucks.

My service provider pays me enough even with a little sucking it would still be worth it, but fortunately I haven't had that problem yet. I have a 4G plan, but my phone only does 3G unless I am on Wii-Fi. As soon as I get my income a little higher so it doesn't come out of my pocket, I am going to upgrade it.

I have no idea what that means.  But that's what I have so I'm glad it's fast.

It simply means Fourth Generation

The Internet is generally faster with 4G, but not all carriers are the same even if they say they're 4G supported. Also, expect to see differences when you are roaming around. All carriers do have weaker zones too, whiere you will get less than optimal speeds or nothing at all.

I don't have a 4g phone; I just have a regular cell phone.

This is absolutely true and has been for years, no matter what cellular technology you use. Back when I was paying $65 a month and I ran into a spot where I couldn't use my phone at maximum speed it used to make me furious, but now that they are paying me instead it becomes much less frustrating.

@Ittai - 4G LTE is definitely wonderful but the huge downside is you only get a certain amount of data per month(GBs).  I was Grandfathered in with Verizon for the unlimited data plan for $30 but when Verizon sent the Android 4.0 Update to my HTC Thunderbolt I did NOT have a choice to install it.  The next day my phone wouldn't turn on and I brought it in to one of Verizon's awful stores.  They said that HTC isn't making it anymore (I understand...it's a 2 yr old phone) and I'd have to get a brand new phone even though I still had 6 months on my contract remaining.  One of the employees said he would waive the charge for the contract remaining so I could get a new phone.  I said I'll go right across the street (Sprint is literally across the street) and switch to Sprint.  I outsmarted that guy with the termination fee and have unlimited data again.  Sprint doesn't have 4G LTE everywhere but I'm alright waiting.
