LTE gets ratified
We think the most exciting thing for us here at Engadget Mobile is not the fact that LTE's finally a standard, but the fact that it finally has a frickin' logo. Seriously, guys, why didn't you hire a couple nice kids with Illustrator experience about three years ago for this? Anyhow, yeah, LTE -- the standard most of the world is counting on to deliver 4G in the next few years -- has officially been rolled into 3GPP Release 8, which means manufacturers and carriers no longer have a moving target for creating compliant infrastructure and devices. Hey, WiMAX, we see those beads of sweat rolling down your forehead all the way from over here. Yeah. Not a good look for you.

Since when does Engadget write posts in the first person singular?

Haha, wow, that was a total mental meltdown on my part. Glad you pointed it out!

Logo really looks like ass, another 3 years might have been a good idea tbh. Even without all the silly Photoshop layer effects, its still rubbish!

Eh, it could have been worse.
I'm not a religious man, but I'll be damned if I'm not praying for them to get LTE rolled out.

At least WiMAX has started to deploy itself, and its going to give the majority of consumers a chance long before LTE, all Im saying is, too little too late can have an effect on anything

Ja ja ja, so you are impressed with the LTE logo... Then you must see the LTE-Advanced logo!

Too bad the logo's wrong. Abbreviations like this are CAPITALIZED.
The designer must've gone to Ucla.
