I've read a lot online in other websites and that seems to be the $65 question. Just as many people say the chipset required is in the phone as say it is not in the phone. I think, and actually kinda hope that development for other newer generation phones will speed up to a point that this phone becomes outdated soon and there will be many other devices out there with newer tech for providers to offer us. I use Sprint so I know it's probably more a pipe dream than not but I can still hope.
