Well let me say thank you, from all of us who work to make LTE a reality.
And for Cardiac, the difference between EVDO and LTE is comparable to the difference between dial up and cable broadband. When we do modem throughput tests we frequently see the margin of error in the test which is higher than the maximum theoretical throughput on EVDO. Much as bigstyle learned, you don't really understand the difference until you use it.
Mr. Astley, I'm not sure where you live but in my area 120 a month will get 10mbps capped broadband (I pay 60 for 6Mbps), I routinely get 20Mbps on my ATT Lumia, and both have data limits, though my broadband provider is at least just a warning message. As for power draw, the popular recent chipsets have LTE power profile similar to HSPA, and fairly close to WiFi (better under high constant traffic, or traffic with regular periodicity, WiFi has advantage for bursty traffic)
Of course value is relative, and I pay 150/month for 2 lines unlimited talk/text and shared 6GB data pool, I find the value to be acceptable, though I grumble about the data billing, its the wrong way to go about it, but that's true for all current data plans.
