The true definition of 4G has been, thus far, been sketchy and highly muddled. In layman terms, 4G is simply defined as the fourth generation of the cellular wireless standard, superseding 3G and 2G. 4G is a fully IP-packet switched network solution which facilitates ultra high-speed broadband, IP telephony, seamless connectivity, global roaming across multiple networks and next generation multimedia support (IPTV, streaming video, rich media, etc). International Telecommunications Union-Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R)‘s 4G requirements specifies target peak data rates of approximately 100Mbps for mobile access and 1Gbps for stationary or low mobility access.
There has been two clear players/standards – both which are considered pre-4G technologies (because they do not fully comply with IMT-Advanced requirements). Globally, this hasn’t stopped telcos from branding their offerings as 4G. Firstly, there is 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution). Theoretically, LTE has downlink speeds of up to 100Mbps and 50Mbps uplink if a 20Mhz channel is used. LTE, if you didn’t know already, has been field-tested by Maxis in Damansara and Bandar Utama areas since July this year. The tests revealed impressive speeds of 60-104Mbps, utilising both 10Mhz and 20Mhz bandwidth channels. How fast is that? How about downloading a full length 640Mb movie in a minute? The world’s first LTE networks were deployed in Stockholm and Oslo in 2009.
Next is Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e standard), which first made its debut in South Korea in 2006 (called WiBro). US-based Sprint Nextel started using Mobile WiMAX in 2008, also branding it 4G. Data speeds peaked at 128Mbps on downlink and 56Mbps on uplink via 20Hz channels.
Will the real 4G please stand up?
Just a month ago, the ITU accorded two technologies namely LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced2 or WiMAX 2 (IEEE 802.16m) the designation of IMT-Advanced (formal name for 4G), officially qualifying them as true 4G technologies. As it stands, existing 4G networks are not 4G, not for a long shot. But here’s the thing, LTE-Advanced and WiMAX 2 will not be coming anytime soon. Not in some years at least. Strictly from a branding standpoint, it makes sense for telcos to ride on the 4G moniker. For one, it is easier for consumers to relate to and differentiate from the old. Next, because technically speaking, LTE/WiMAX are indeed new generation technologies (however short they fall off ITU specifications) and are definite steps up from voice-centric 3G (UMTS — CDMA — HSPA/HSPA+) which are available currently.

"Data speeds peaked at 128Mbps on downlink and 56Mbps"

lol, even our unifi cant do that.

even M1 1 gbps broadband isnt 1gbps, tested it only 5x mbps if do speedtest to san fransisco

hope the price that's offered by gtrowa is true and i can refund u guys' deposit.. hehe..
no worries. if what i got isn't the model that u guys want will definitely refund it back

2.3k and 2.5k not much different and wont be something mind blowing, who can cod with me in sunway at my preferred time will definitely get the deal, so far mike met 1 condition, cod availability at sunway

If 2099?

I think is highly unlikely. If it is true, good for us. Those buyers of the SGS will now curse

Is it possible? When can get confirmation? If its true i will definitely buy this instead of nexus s.

Still do not know whether it is true or not but this thread said so >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1779564

TS already said he don't even know whether is true or not. And there is no 8 GB for SGS II

Tomorrow should know the result

he said tomorrow that phone will arrived at their shop. so after work i'll go there to look at it... if true.. terus sambar satu.. deep pocket rite now hahaha

2099??? Samsung drop price to compete with ipong? After Apple surprised them with their tablet strategy, they want to surprised Apple back with their phone strategy...

i just went back to a nexus one, i rather go around testing things safely, then later on il get one of these if everyone has almost about the same verdict. = no lag.

The NexusOne is the BEST android phone I have used. I have tried ( only briefly my friends other androids too - few HTC, Sony Xperia ). I have regretted selling it. Than I wanted a bigger screen as 3.7" was just too small. Actually I strongly advise whoever is having this should not sell and hope to look for a better one. I find in terms of performance even the DHD has to fight hard to match it. I don't think any current single core can match it
Sell it if you want to upgrade to dual core

very true I have to say, its 1st generation core yet i still find it snappy.

and there's like an army of developers that still supports the N/O.

True, I find it kinda small screen compared to my previous phones, but mayb this one will actually be more safe to fit into my jeans.

'

true! but i can safely say nexus S is a worthy successor of nexus one!!

yeah my brother just got a nexus s and compared it to my n1 it is snappier~! And the good thing is can oc til 1.5ghz

what time u plan to go there? i'm interested to see that phone too. if it is 'REAL' Galaxy S 2, will sambar one

Nexus S is definately a class up than nexus1. I thought it was duocore based on my reading on all the good review about it

which 1 better? nexus one or nexus s?
