4G Handsets on Track, Verizon Says

Most 4G networks have launched with the lead devices being PC dongles, for a simple reason: 4G smartphones have been relatively few and far between. That will change over time, as subscriber numbers grow, but the easiest device path remains PC dongles.

"A year ago, people didn’t believe that there would be LTE smartphones in 2011," says Verizon CTO Tony Melone. Verizon has promised smartphones in the first half of 2011 and still is on track to do so. Most networks based on Long Term Evolution have been grappling with the issue of how to support voice, in terms of protocols, and Verizon is no exception.
