We know that Verizon is working on LTE, and they have plans to launch their first LTE device in early 2011. And also AT&T announced that they will be launching LTE next year, so both carriers are trying hard to better than each other. HTC CEO Peter Chou said that they will bring the first LTE device in 2011, and as we know that HTC launched the first 4G powered phone via Sprint (HTC EVO 4G), and also the first HSPA+ phone via T-Mobile (G2). So HTC has full plans to take the LTE too. Well it’s not confirm yet that which carrier will pick it, but I think it’s Verizon. Because Verizon is launching LTE before AT&T, so if HTC want to bring the first LTE device, then for sure it’s Verizon. But there is one more confusion, that what will be the operating system? Verizon and HTC both love Android, because HTC is making a lot of Android phones, and you can also see a lot of Android handsets on Verizon shelves. But it could be WP7, because Microsoft said that they will start shipping the CDMA version of WP7 phones in early 2011. So lets wait for some official words. By the way what do you want, Android or Windows Phone 7?

During an interview on TWiT podcast Windows Weekly, Director of Windows Phone 7 Brandon Watson said that Windows Phone 7 will feature tethering, and it’s up to the carriers to allow it, but now we have a whole different story. Microsoft spokesperson is saying that Mr.Watson was totally wrong, and there is ” No Tethering feature in Windows Phone 7″. So it means that Windows phone 7 devices will miss the tethering, which is a very important feature. Lot of new devices are now coming with tethering feature i.e EVO 4G, Samsung Galaxy S. So I think that’s a deal breaker for WP7, what do you people say?

Canadian carrier Wind Mobile has released the high end Motorola device, which is also known as brother of Motorola Milestone, the Motorola XT720. Motorola Xt720 is a very good device, and it comes with Android OS, 3.7-inch display with a resolution of 480×854, 512MB of on board memory, and 8MP camera. The device comes with Android 2.1, and this device is capable enough to run Android 2.2. So you can expect Android 2.2 for this device in a few months. So folks, all I can say is that it’s a good device, and if you are on Wind Mobile, and looking for a good Android handset, then you might have a look on the Motorola XT720 on Wind.

Yesterday,we let you know that T-Mobile is now taking pre-orders for the T-Mobile G2, so you can go ahead and pre-order. But if you didn’t, then you may be lucky, because online mobile phones retailer Wirefly has announced the G2 for pre-order, and you can get it for $149.99 (for new customers, $199.99 for existing customers )from Wirefly, which is $50 less as compared to T-Mobile.
