Speaking in an interview, Verizon Wireless COO John Stratton said that it will sell a Motorola handset with Long Term Evolution on board. "We've got LTE smartphones around the horizon," he said. "Motorola will be right there" at launch, which Verizon hinted may come during its January 6 press conference at the Consumer Electronic Show.
Verizon has previously not named any specific hardware makers with respect to LTE devices. "Over last 13 months, [Motorola has] done a very good job in supporting our business and have worked their way up into almost a preferred vendor," he said. "They have been driving our Droid strategy."
Stratton did not specifically say that the Motorola LTE handset in question will run Android, but Verizon Wireless' official twitter account posted a tweet which read: "#LTE and #Android - could it be like peanut butter and chocolate?" The implication is that Verizon will announce LTE hardware during CES.
