Default [Q] Really no LTE or does AT&T not know how to advertise?
I have an Infuse and plan to stay with it until it comes off contract, but I looked at the SGSII page on AT&T's website and it says 4G HSPA+... Really? Is it really only HSPA+? Or does AT&T want to repel all customers by advertising a Ferrari as having a 20HP Ford engine?

LTE is on a different model and comes out later. This one is HSPA+ only.

I'm glad it doesn't have LTE. I like having a reasonably sized phone with good battery life.

Haven't you noticed that Verizon customers are screwed? They get a choice of outdated underpowered phones, or battery-hogging fatties that provide no speed benefits for a significant portion of the population. In fact, apparently many of Verizon's LTE phones don't work well at all in non-LTE service areas.

I won't see LTE anywhere near where I live for years (probably not until my next upgrade cycle at least) so I'm glad this doesn't have LTE.

No, it does not have LTE. LTE on AT&T is only available in a very small amount of cities. However, AT&T is not good at advertising just as you are not good at researching....

The guy at the store said that the phone is let capable and can be upgraded by an ota update later on. People have also found out that they have an lte icon in the system too. So its definitely on this phone.

Your ****ing kidding me right? You can't be that dumb. It's not software related. There is NO LTE modem in the device. Are people seriously this gullible?

They use the same systemUI.apk where all your 3G, H, and H+ icons are located and just change xml's for different devices.

If the guy at the store said you can run iPhone apps, you going to believe him too?

Call me a jerk, asshole, whatever some people just need to be treated like they have no intelligence.

Store reps can NEVER be trusted for information like this.

And the presence of icons means nothing. A lot of frameworks are designed in a generic manner to ease software maintenance. We've got bootsplashes for Korean devices in our param.lfs for example.
