About a week ago AT&T announced that it had reached an agreement with existing partners, Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson, to provide equipment for the carrier’s next-generation LTE (4G) cellular network, opening the door to significant improvements in data speeds and performance. The company also confirmed that it is continuing to plan for field trials of LTE technology later this year and a full rollout beginning next year.

AT&T has finished the testing and is starting to roll-out the 4G coverage to select tester later this year. Reports have said that AT&T is in talks with Apple to select a few iPhone 3GS users for testing of their 4G network which is compatible with the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Could you be the next tester for 4G with AT&T?

    Notice how no sources are cited. What a load of bs. Foss is right. It's next to impossible for the 3G s to go 4G

      The radio chip inside the 3GS is already capable of picking up that signal Apple stated that when it was unvailed last year.
