Verizon continues its onslaught of 4G LTE rollouts across the U.S. and after expanding a slew of California markets last week, they’re back at it again. This next bombardment of 4G LTE is a huge one and reaches across various markets from New York to Colorado. Hopefully by April 19th, your city/town will have been added to the coverage list and you’ll be able to ditch that 3G in favor of the fast lane speeds of 4G LTE. Rollouts and expansions are expected to start Thursday and will cover the following markets:

Verizon continues to blanket the US with 4G LTE while the rest of the carriers desperately play catch up. We’re quick to complain about Verizon’s high prices but at least they’re putting that money to work. Today, Verizon announced it will be expanding its 4G LTE reach in ten California markets as well as Reno, Nevada within the coming weeks. 3G will soon be a thing of the past for those living in the following California cities:

AT&T customers living in St. Louis have just had their LTE jetpacks filled and should be able to start flying through downloads and web pages — not to mention battery life. Along with St. Louis, Staten Island, NY was added to the AT&T LTE club with 4G LTE being expanded to the 5 boroughs. AT&T is certainly playing LTE catch up and while the rollout may seem like it’s running at a turtle’s pace, AT&T has already pushed out LTE to five of the twelve promised markets. Those remaining include:

Sprint and HTC just announced the next Evo device on Sprint’s network, at an event in New York City. While the device was rumored to be called the HTC Evo One, it is officially called the Evo 4G LTE. The Evo 4G LTE is Sprint’s first LTE device, which boasts a “blazing fast processor” and the latest version of Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC’s Sense UI. Check out the full specs:

Sprint employee training material for the Galaxy Nexus leaked today suggesting the possibility of it launching before Sprint’s 4G LTE network. According to the training docs, the Sprint Galaxy Nexus will have 4G LTE switched off by default. It makes sense to have LTE switched off if you don’t yet have a network to support it, but it could also be to avoid having users in non-LTE markets (which will be many) from experiencing adverse battery drain — as the material suggests. The odds of you being in a Sprint LTE area once it launches is pretty slim anyways so I’m guessing Sprint customers probably won’t care about it being switched off.
