T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 810 to get software update to enable LTE

[George P Global Moderator]

If you?re a Lumia 810 owner, T-Mobile just made your day as the carrier has revealed to Engadget that a simple software update will enable LTE 4G support on the device.

It has been speculated for some time that the Lumia 810, T-Mobile?s custom variant of the Lumia 820, had the chipset on board to handle T-Mobile?s nascent 4G LTE network. Now, T-Mobile has confirmed it noting that that the Lumia 810 and Galaxy Note II will both be the first two devices to support LTE over Band 4 (1700MHz AWS) with the Nexus 4 coming later (assuming FCC approval).

That?s some good company for the Lumia 810 to be in and shows T-Mobile must have confidence in the device. As previously mentioned, no timeframe on when that update will be coming but presumably it will happen when T-Mobile feels the network is big enough to warrant a firmware patch.
