Verizon To Release Five 4G Phones

While Sprint is releasing its first 4G phone next month, Verizon has said it doesn’t expect to have 4G phones available until May 2011.

The good news is that by that time Verizon should have five 4G phones available. Although exact details of the phones aren’t yet known Verizon says the phones will most likely be made by Motorola, HTC (makers of the 4G EVO), LG and RIM (makers of the Blackberry).

However, it’s likely that many of those manufacturers will have 4G phones available on other networks before the end of this year – just as HTC will have with the EVO 4G which is coming to Sprint next month.
