How is 3G not good enough for now? I understand that it's good to move forward with technology, but the complaints sound almost as stupid as "When are these motherboard manufacturers going to stop limiting motherboards to 32GB of RAM?? 64-bit supports much higher! I want at least 2TB of RAM!". When in reality, for the average user 3-4GB of RAM is more than enough right now. Like we get the damn point, I will be happy too when 4G comes out but in the meantime I am pretty happy with what 3G has to offer. Rendering speeds right now are more crippled by the CPU power of the handsets than they are from the connection. In case people haven't noticed, even WiFi isn't exactly speedy on smartphones.

How i know this ?? lol I am currently working on the network upgrade.. Yes the shift’s gonna be easier to LTE for sure from HSPA .

LTE as a standard is still not fully baked. The only LTE networks on the planet are in labs. What's baked is the commitments from the major global carriers to go the LTE route. HSPA is 3.5G as another poster has noted. The upgrade for TELUS and Bell to go from this to LTE will likely be incremental and quick. TBone wrote:

This announcement should read that finally Telus is going to try to catchup with AT&T.

The network evolution to HPSA is being done now to make the transition to LTE seemless once the 4G technology is ready for deployment. My assumption is that TELUS will operate both the CDMA and GSM networks together for a few year while contiuing to build the LTE infastructure and slowly transistion our clients from CDMA to HSPA. Once LTE is ready for turn up, the CDMA network will PROBABLY then be turned down. The move to GSM now in time for 2010 is a no brainer, Rogers will not be the only carrier collecting roaming revenue from all the foreign visitors with their GSM phones coming to BC for the Olympics. www.telusmobility.com/network Hello,

They are upgrading to HSPA in 2010, which is considered 3.5G and the logical GSM path to LTE. Their 4G network upgrade (LTE) probably won't happen until 2012/2013 like AT&T You have it wrong.

CDMA carriers need to upgrade faster than GSM carriers do, HSDPA and its upgrades are faster than EV-DO Rev. A, and development on new versions of EV-DO has essentially stopped.

AT&T is currently upgrading their 3G...I'm estimating that by 2012 or maybe later, AT&T will ONLY announce that it's going to roll out 4G for a launch date in 2014, maybe 2015. Isn't it awesome how U.S. Wireless Carriers rape us as long as possible with old technology! Yay! $750 mil…that’s not too shabby.
