It’s only recently that AT&T’s started offering LTE-enabled smartphones, because earlier there was one carrier providing 4G connectivity, Verizon Wireless. Anyway, things rapidly change and currently AT&T’s network doesn’t yield that of the Big Red. Moreover, we’ve already seen the carrier’s first two LTE smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid. Both handsets come with astonishing specs list, but what to do if we don’t adore Android, despite the version it comes with. Nokia will tell you!
As we’ve already said Nokia’s planning LTE and CDMA devices for the US market. We learned that Nokia’s first LTE-enabled smartphone will be the Lumia 800, which will run on AT&T’s network. According to the source, “people familiar with the matter” claim Nokia’s negotiating with AT&T to bring its newly announced Lumia 800 to the carrier’s LTE network.
This can be true, because yet Nokia’s not brought the phone to the US shores, and there’s no accurate explanation concerning it. So we tend to think Nokia wants to launch its first smartphone in the US with LTE functionality onboard. But it’s not so easy, as it seems, because that means kind of a new software. So either the Nokia Lumia 800 will get a specific Windows Phone update, or it’ll wait for WP Tango.
