right now I prefer to keep it simple. We also have to think about the CDMA+LTE combination and CDMA+GSM combo chips. There is still a bit a uncertainty how these are going to look like.

But personally I > agree with Paavo > it could be useful to be able to set the radio in "all-but-lte" mode... Couldn't this be achieved by actual band selection if you really really wanted this? Do we actually have different LTE band at all. I am still not all that familiar with the low-level radio technology behind LTE.
