Pretty much the only problem with LTE is its “newness”, which translates into the service not being available as widely as many of us would like. When I abandoned Windows Mobile for Android, I picked up the T-Mobile G1 — the very first commercially available Android-powered smartphone. I was about a year late joining the Android party. Why? T-Mobile wouldn’t sell it to me! I ...
