So, is the belief that LTE will be a lot faster?
You know, from what I've been able to discern with LTE, it tends to suck battery life out of most phones. So... maybe it's a good thing that the 810 won't do LTE :wink:
Thanks to jgbstetson, who found this out a few posts up and tipped Daniel for the storyAccording to THIS news Nokia 810 will not get an update which would enable LTE.
Sorry T-Mobile CEO, but the only way this is GOOD news is if one of those "variety of OSes" is Windows Phone, and it looks like you've hit every platform (iPhone, BB, Android) but the one asked about. Unless he's providing a vague hint... one can only hope.The good news is that we have a number of excellent LTE devices coming for a variety of OSes so keep checking our website for announcements.

I'm slightly disappointed, but only because I put way too much faith in a rumor [my fault]. I still like my 810
I think it's all about what is bringing in the money... and yeah it's a business, but they're really only committed to devices already proven to bring in customers... not necessarily all the devices they bring to market, no matter how recent. They're providing the update to enable LTE on unlocked iPhones which T-Mobile never even sold! That says it all to me right there.
I don't see how it would be so bad for them to enable the LTE update for the 810 (if indeed possible) so they could actually say they have an LTE device for every smartphone operating system in their portfolio, for maximum customer choice. Now I'm actually starting to doubt the news that T-Mobile was legitimately excited about Windows Phone and was happy with the sales they've seen from it so far... particularly because of what you just brought up, jgbstetson. An official statement would be nice, or at the very least a re-imagined Lumia 810 with LTE (alongside some new WP8 with LTE... dreaming here)
