SK Telecom planning commercial LTE network for next year
South Korean networks — which have historically gone neck-and-neck with Japanese ones for deploying ridiculously advanced tech before anyone else — are just a touch slow on the LTE uptake, though not by much. SKT is looking to deploy its first commercial LTE network sometime in 2011 in Seoul on its way to a nationwide rollout in 2013, which means they’ll be trailing Verizon and TeliaSonera, just to name a couple (to be fair, archrival KT is apparently on track for a late 2010 launch, so this year’s 4G hopes aren’t entirely lost). In the meantime, SKT hopes to take some pressure off its 3G infrastructure by beefing up its WiFi footprint, a tactic similar to the one AT&T’s been using stateside for a while now. Given the choice, we’d still take LTE over WiFi… but hey, a few hotspots never hurt anyone.

SLCD-equipped HTC Desire ‘coming soon’ to Telus
We’d already seen an HTC Desire with North American 3G hit the FCC, and it looks like we now know exactly where it’s headed — Telus has just announced that the phone is “coming soon” to its network. What’s more, the carrier has also confirmed that the phone will be equipped with a 3.7-inch Sony Super LCD screen instead of the regular AMOLED display that’s in short supply. Otherwise, the phone is the same Android 2.1-powered, Snapdragon-based, Sense-skinned device we’ve seen all along, which is hardly a bad thing — unless you’re waiting for a Desire HD, that is.
