My guess is that you'd still have to get the LTE data plan if you get the thunderbolt regardless of whether or not you're in an LTE market. Roy was just saying that since it is dual mode (CDMA EVDO-Rev A and LTE) that you'd still be able to use the phone for calls and data even if you're not currently in an LTE area.

Do you really think that VZW will wait 4 months after the IPhone to release this LTE phone? The buzz around the forums is shortly after the IPhone.

I am doing quite a bit of research on these new phones since the iPhone has come to the Verizon network. I've been trying to compare and contrast some of the similarities and differences btw the Thunderbolt and the iPhone. The main feature I am interested in is the Face to Face or Video Chat. Can some please explain to me the skype mobile feature on the new Thunderbolt. In fine print it says " Video calls must be made between Verizon 4G LTE devices or 4G WiFi enabled PC." so dose that mean that 1) if I am trying to vido chat someone using another carrier that it wont work (ie AT&T or Sprint)? 2) Are you able to vido chat without using the skype mobile? (for example just calling someone from my contacts with a face-to-face feature?)
3)Is the skype mobile just in place for people who don't have the face to face feature?
Thanks in advance

Since Skype is an internet based program, voip, it should not matter what service the other user has. Caveat to that is the 4G network is a 12mbps download and 1mbps upload speeds vs 3G networks with speeds of 1.5mbs download and 0.25 mbps upload. Difference between smooth and choppy.
