Their LTE phones use a SIM card for LTE data, but voice calling and texting are still done through CDMA. You might be able to use LTE with a SIM and do calling and texting through data services, but then you wouldn't even be able to fall back to 3G.
Verizon is [URL="https://gigaom.com/2013/06/27/verizon-wraps-up-lte-rollout-plans-all-voip-phone-launch-for-late-2014/"]planning to support voice-over-LTE[/URL], but your calls will drop if you go out of LTE coverage even with a supported Verizon phone.

It's been my fetish phone since it launched. A shame it was dropped before it even released, so you get Symbian ports and not much else.

As someone who has a Verizon SIM currently for 4G LTE, and not sure what all this CDMA/GSM talk means for me... could someone lay this out in laymans terms for the problems I could have with buying a Nexus 5 and slapping my 4G LTE SIM in it?

Verizon still uses their old CDMA network (that dates back to the late 90's) for calls, texting, and general connectivity communcations. 4G LTE (and likewise, the old 3G EVDO network) is exclusively for internet data. If you got a Nexus 5, and it even managed to connect to the network (which it most likely won't), all it would be good for is for data. Calls and SMS messages would not work as 4G LTE is unused for those functions. Also, if you have no 4G, you have no service period.

Lumia 800 looks nice but feels weird, its small, pointy,buttons stick out so much but it looks nice
I love their look of the nexus 4 tho, that glass back compliments the phone so well
[QUOTE=The golden;44760995]Samsung is not the phone maker to go to when you want creative phone designs. :v:
The HTC One is really setting the bar for what a high-quality smartphone should look like. You actually get some high-grade materials for the price you pay rather than just another lump of plastic in the shape of a box with rounded corners.[/QUOTE]
I love using my One because of this. It just feels good to use.
honestly if you have a phone as expensive as the S5 and aren't protecting it with a case after one month of the device being out i have no idea what you're doing
