My 9780 is 3G and it’s Speedtest.net testing has been “consistent”. Why RIM isn’t using cellular technology by introducing 4G LTE hardware? It’s a mystery. Many RIM owners utilize their handset for voice, email, SMS messaging, internet browser, other RIM productivity applications and also testhering. In defense of RIM, they do have 4G handsets – Torch is a 4G GSM handset. But I didn’t upgrade to a Torch because it’s heavier than my 9780 (a drawback). RIM needs to bite the bullet and keep up with their hardware competition, especially considering all the corporate BES users.

Both new devices London & Nevada will support LTE connectivity.
