http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and ... on-1176480 Should eventually do wonders for the likes of iTunes and Spotify, but not at today's prices! |

My network is Three so get it already as part of the Ofcom deal. I may not be in a 4G area yet but it does not really worry me. 3G is pretty good speed near me. The prices need to be sensible to encourage uptake. |

I've got 18 months left on my contract and my phone will be good for a year or two after that. So I should be ready for a new 4G phone just about when it's available nationwide. |

I think uptake will be decided by coverage not price. If the coverage is as poor outside city centres as 3G coverage is, then many people won't bother. |

It only needs coverage where you use it. Since I am home most of the time that is more important than coverage everywhere. Even so I only have found one 3G blackspot miles out of town in the middle of the countryside. |

Really? I seem to get GPRS a lot of the time in the country. |

I get really good speeds where I live of 13 Mbps and a few hundred yards away it climbs to 19 Mbps on 3G. 4G might be great but I still think that the black spots needed to be fixed first. |
