Cell Phones Questions & Answers
Is LTE really all that and a bag of chips yet?

I know LTE is the future. The sheer data speeds are really exciting. But seriously, is it still considered "fringey" or too bleeding edge right now? I have read that battery life is absolutely abysmal, but that could soon be rectified with the new generation of chips/chipsets coming out. I live in Canada, in one of the most backwards provinces, where LTE is still not available, and the company I am with does not have a firm date for roll out.
Is it really "here now", or is it going to be about another year before the phones catch up with the network "so to speak" and improve.

Another example - I get two days between charges on my personal phone - a Galaxy Nexus with LTE & wireless on 100% of the time whereas my work phone - an iP4s, I'm lucky to get a full day on 3g.
Go figure
