Up until now, no LTE device on Verizon has been able to support global roaming (no, not global warming, global roaming), in part because of a network issues that prevents LTE phones from roaming in non-CDMA markets. But now, thanks to some network enhancements and unannounced global GSM/WCDMA roaming capability in the DROID 4 and LG Spectrum, both devices will have global roaming support enabled by the first half of the year. Here’s what Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney had to say:

Verizon’s 4G double data promo has been going strong for the past two months but it’s about to end. If you’ve been on the fence about switching to Verizon, you may want to take advantage of this deal while you still can. Unfortunately anyone signing up for data with Verizon must choose from a tiered data pricing option, and with the double data promo, Verizon will double the allotted data upon purchase of a 4G device.

T-Mobile seems to be the last to make any sort of announcement regarding future plans and devices. After looking at the press release, I can see why. Not much going on over at T-Mo other than an expanded 4G network, an enhanced Bobsled messaging service, and another Samsung Galaxy variant. But hey, let’s not hang them out to dry, stay tuned for a few of the specifics after the break.

One of the largest complaints about the Motorola DROID RAZR on Verizon is that of battery life. LTE sucks the life out of any battery, and the fact that Motorola chose to design the RAZR with an irremovable 1780 mAh, wasn’t a very smart idea. Realizing the errors of their ways, Motorola has announced a beefier DROID RAZR MAXX, this time with a larger (still irremovable) battery said to last 21 hours on a single charge. Of course the need to manufacture a completely new model could have easily been avoided had they made the battery removable.

Samsung recently told us that the Galaxy Note would be coming to the U.S. sometime this year, but which carrier would be getting it remained a mystery. There were rumors of AT&T getting the Note and we now have some compelling evidence to suggest so. Apparently an accessory maker sent out some press emails outing the AT&T Galaxy Note, as they advertised being the first to carry accessories for the device. Of course that statement was soon retracted (and someone probably lost their job) but I’m now pretty confident the AT&T Galaxy Note exists.
