Optimus 2x going to be 4G?

Hey guys, I've been trying to find something that says whether the Optimus 2x is going to be on Verizon and have 4G. I've only read a couple posts in other forums where people said it would have 4G in the US, but I trust your guys knowledge a lot more. I only ask because I was thinking about getting the HTC Thunderbolt when it comes out, but if I could wait another month and a get a dual-core 4G phone, I'd rather wait. I'm due for a new phone on March 9th. Just trying to get more information than what I could find using Google. Thanks.

It's not going to come out on Verizon for a long time or in its display shape.

It's being shown as a HSPA+ phone, which is just a higher-speed version of the protocol the GSM carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile) use for 3G already. For it to be 4G on Verizon, it would have to include additional LTE circuitry on top of the standard Verizon CDMA/3G radio. Throw in the fact that LG doesn't *have* a current model on Verizon's CDMA/3G base and I wouldn't hold your breath.

Yea I was probably just being delusional. I'm just so excited for 4G and dual-core phones, that I was hoping one would be out by now for me to pick up when my contract is due.
