CNet: Verizon and AT&T Testing LTE Nokia Lumias

CNet has learned and first reported that both of the United States largest carriers are testingLTE devices from Nokia. LTE is currently unsupported on the current Windows Phone builds, but was recently revealed as a major feature keeping Verizon from jumping on board the Windows Phone train.

While neither a spokesman from the two carriers have commented on the report, it is widely believed that Nokia is pushing hard to come to the US with some cutting edge phones for both carriers. Rumors peg CES 2012 in January as a possible jumping off point for a Tango build which will support LTE and a device launch shortly after.

Of course, this is all speculation until we can get some further confirmation, but it should leave Verizon users especially with a little relief that they might see a new Windows Phone device very soon.
