Anyone just bought an LTE model for the extra memory?
Is it simply possible to not bother activating the LTE SIM functionality and just use the device as normal??
Do you still have to pay for the SIM contract regardless???

Thanks.

Yeah unless you have a contract with EE it will just work as normal. You won’t need to pay anything extra.
 
That is incorrect. Storing more than 2 GB of music is a reality today.

I've seen mention that the latest update for iOS may have fixed this. Haven't tested it myself yet though.
 
I think I'm planning on buying the LTE model but not activating it. £70 more for a band I want to buy anyway (Sport Loop), ceramic back, 16GB storage, and LTE connectivity if I ever want it in the future doesn't seem too bad.
 
On AT&T the $10/mo is totally at will. There is no contract involved.

So if you dropped your phone into a wood chipper and destroyed it. You could turn on cellular on your watch just until you got your new phone. And you can do it on your own sitting out in a hay field.
