I just bought a my new Galaxy S II from T-Mobile and because i am over seas now, i unlocked the phone and using it with other carrier in South America. Samsung and T-Mobile claim that this phone uses HSPA+ band I, II, IV and VI but nothing about LTE.
Today, using the combination *#2236# i found the phone has LTE band, and not only one .. all of them!
This means the SGS II has the skyrocket modem ? .. i will be available to use LTE with my SGS II?
please if you guys can test it let us know!

We know that Verizon’s 4G Network ( LTE) was having some problems recently. But T-Mobile took advantage of that and kicked Verizon with this. T-Mobile just found the good way to attack and make fun of the unstable LTE network against T-Mo’s HSPA+.
For me a reliable network is the one that works 24/7 , not the one that works great some times. what you think?

T-Mobile’s long rumored plan to buy some of Clearwire’s extensive spectrum is getting closer to completion. T-Mobile USA is the only potential bidder and the sale of the spectrum could happen by the end of the first quarter. At the same time, T-Mobile is gunning to leap frog Sprint and become the nation’s third largest carrier, something the company this week said they hoped would happen by 2015.
Building out an LTE network may cost between $1 billion and $2 billion, the company said. Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray said that T-Mobile will need a spectrum partner by 2014 or 2015.

Sprint Nextel, the first U.S. carrier to roll out a 4G network, is considering changing its 4G strategy in a way that could encourage a merger with T-Mobile, according to a July 12 report from the Financial Times.
According to Technology Business Research Analyst Ken Hyers, the rollout of an LTE network would be in keeping with statements Clearwire has made — and would prevent Sprint from being isolated in its technology choice as Verizon and AT&T’s 4G networks go live.

Early this morning Motorola launched a shiny new trial network for Long Term Evolution (LTE) running in the 2.6GHz spectrum. They will be giving operators access to “Motorola’s expertise” (their words not ours) “in deploying and optimizing mobile broadband networks as well as developing 4G migration strategies.”

For those who have been dying for in-flight broadband, your wait will soon be over (on select flights, of course). Granted, you’ll only get 2Mbps of download and an insane amount of latency, but you’ll have broadband nonetheless. For those wanting a little more oomph in their in-flight broadband experience, you’ll have to wait until 2011.
