Verizon's promised a 38-city LTE launch by the end of the year, and it
looks like things are ramping up -- we were just sent this ad for the
LG VL600 and Pantech UML290 4G USB modems. We've seen the VL600 at the
FCC and in the wild before -- it's a dual-mode CMDA / LTE modem
that'll work pretty much anywhere Verizon has coverage, while the
UML290 has a note about global capability "coming soon," so we'd
assume there's a GSM radio tucked in there as well. Both sticks look
like they're pretty huge, which isn't uncommon for first-gen hardware
like this, but we're hoping that rumored third Novatel stick is LTE-
only and a bit slimmer. We'll see, we'll see.
