Verizon 4G Phones – 6 Months Earlier Than Promised

CTO of Verizon 4G, Anthony Melone, has promised that the mobile phone company will start selling its first 4G phones by the middle of 2011.

Although Verizon have given no indication of a likely handset supplier, Melone pointed out the new time frame for the first Verizon 4G phone is six months earlier than previously expected.

He also confirmed that metered or tiered mobile data plans are more likely for the new phone service than the current selection of unlimited data plans, a view also shared by AT&T for its new network.
