Verizon 4G LTE network launches today
Today Verizon Wireless is launching its 4G LTE network to the public. The 4G network is available in 38 markets across the United States (full list) covering a total of 110 million people. Verizon expects most users should see download rates between 5Mbps-12Mbps and upload rates between 2Mbps-5Mbps. We saw similar rates during our initial tests of the network in New York City. Verizon has two data plans available: a 5GB $50 monthly plan and an $80 10GB plan. Overage charges are $10 per 1GB. There are also two devices available that work on the network, the LG VL600 and the Pantech UML290. Each is available for $99.99 with a new contract or for $249.99 without a contract. Verizon expects to talk about its 4G LTE phones during CES next month, and they should be available in mid-2011.

Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G getting Android 2.2 Froyo now
It appears that the official Android 2.2 Froyo update for Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G is starting to roll out - though Sprint has not yet officially acknowledged that. Users supposedly can expect to receive the update directly pushed to their handset by the end of the month, but BriefMobile.com also has posted some instructions for manually obtaining and applying the update. The process is not intended for novices, though, so be warned. When asked for an official comment on the supposed update, a Sprint rep told us "We have not shared specific timing in the release of Android 2.2 for Samsung Epic 4G. We will share specific details when they are available."

Official Android 2.2 Upgrade for the Samsung Epic 4G Is Here
Though we’ve gotten the update in the form of leaks for several US variants of the Samsung Galaxy S, no one has seen an official rollout yet. Sprint has beat everyone in America to the punch – just as they did with the Froyo update for the EVO – and is now offering Android 2.2 for users of the Samsung Epic 4G.
If you haven’t received it over the air, you’ll be able to manually download and install the update yourself. Instructions for that can be had below, courtesy of Brief Mobile. If you are the type who would rather wait for it to be pushed to you, then you’ll be seeing it anywhere between now and the end of the month. The process is really easy, though, so if you have been waiting for this, there should be no reason to not jump on this as soon as possible.
