Cool. So which iPhone do we think will have it? 2012 or 2013?
I'm kind of leaning towards 2012, but I don't think it's a sure bet.
maybe they should work on making their 3G better b4 they start anything else....i had them for years and every year my reception gets worst.
Why are people assuming it would be called the iPhone 5?.

With 4G looking to be next, I would think the next iphone will be called iPhone 4g, then iphone 4gs, next iphone 5.

This looks like a workable strategy, but I wish they'd work a bit more on getting 3G into rural areas, or at least those cell sites covering rural interstates.
Going outside of town invariably drops me down to edge and that just won't do.
The notion that Verizon isn't investing any more into 3G isn't true; but it is true that there's no reasonable and workable upgrade to the existing EVDO Rev A like there is for AT&T. If AT&T would expand rural coverage their argument would be much better.
Plus, they still need to work on the dropped calls. It got better for a while but I dropped 3 times in my house yesterday, which is only about 1000 feet from the cell.
In many rural areas the population density is low, making it less profitable to implement 3G there, so expect to be the last ones on the list, unfortunately.
Let me ask you this, AT&T. Will my phone ever work in my house? It's not like I live out in the boonies. I'm in Oakland, CA for crying out loud. It's ridiculous.
I honestly dream of a world where WiFi will be available EVERYWHERE for free at decent speeds. The same way you can plug in your phone to charge or use the bathroom when you go somewhere indoors, for free. I think this would be an important technological advancement, instead of focusing on phone carriers building out their next super expensive data service that works over the phone network, slowly and expensively.
Everyone was happy that the iPhone 3G had 3G, but it's apparently so slow that there's no point in paying for that. If you go to any McDonald's, you get free WiFi, and it's fast! In some cities McDonald's' are so close that you are basically covered everywhere.

Plus, there's still going to be a lot of areas with 3G and no LTE for a while.
Telia, the largest carrier in Sweden have a LTE network and they recently rolled out plans to cover all areas with more than 200 people living by the end of 2011.
