I used 300 Mb of my data on my new LTE iPad navigating google maps for just under 6 minutes. That absurd!!!!!!!

The LTE specs only define downlink MIMO so the statement about the iPad sending data using both antennas is incorrect.

It’s in qualcomm’s tech spec page, read it. 73.6mbps peak real word speeds after the overhead. No idea why T-Mobile went with 72…

Sure, it’s going to drain faster—but there is more to drain. I think it’s 42kWh vs. 25kWh if my blog memory serves me well.

I thought it was 73 and not 72 because – like “Spinal Tap” – they take it to “11″…
