We already knew that Verizon will start LTE trials by the end of the year but we had no idea that Big Red was going to start testing from July. It looks like the company has completed the first tests on July 15 in Seattle while testing in Boston has just been finished.

Verizon used LG and Samsung LTE devices but we have no idea what handsets are capable of LTE connectivity right now. According to Verizon, Motorola is also working on LTE phones so the carrier should have quite a few phones ready for the new 4G network.

Boston and Seattle currently have ten LTE cell sites and Verizon reiterated its hope to launch LTE in as many as 30 markets next year. Curious about that LTE transfer speed? Verizon is saying that at launch we can expect 7-12Mbps download and 3.5Mbps upload speeds. So what do you think? Ready to switch carriers and try some LTE out?
