Nokia Siemens Networks unveils LTE solution for North America
Make no mistake, LTE is quite likely the buzzword at CTIA 2008. That being the case, Nokia Siemens Networks is making sure it's part of the in-crowd by introducing a "LTE solution for radio and core networks [that] will enable operators to deploy WCDMA / HSPA and LTE in all major frequency bands, including the 700MHz and 1.7 / 2.1GHz bands that are of particular importance in North America." Apparently the outfit is assuming that winners of the recent spectrum auction will be champing at the bit to deploy new networks / services, and while we can only hope it's correct, the equipment to make it happen is seemingly ready to roll.[Via PhoneScoop]

So what will it make...a Quad band GSM (850, 900, 1800, 1900), Seven Band WCDMA (2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 900, 850, 700)... Soon we'll be buying radio free devices and then you'll just pop in the radio of your choice in a form of a sim card...which would not be a bad idea after all..or just F..k it all and for humanity's sake start implementing software based radios

explain how a software based phone could exist. Different hardware is necessary to pick up different frequencies, if companies put out phone capable of receiving different freqs. then disabled them based on software it would take less then a day from some one with any reverse engineering experience to come up with a way to open all of them.
