Brace yourselves, the LTE is coming! It has been confirmed that the newly announced Galaxy Note 2 has a dormant LTE radio. The fine folks over at AnandTech have discovered that the Note 2 is the same on AT&T and T-Mobile, say for the model number. This means that when T-Mobile eventually re-farms their network and launches LTE the Note 2 will be able to take full advantage of it. The guys and gals of The Verge managed to contact T-Mobile directly, where T-Mo proceeded to confirm the findings and stated that the Note 2 will not automatically gain access to LTE when it's launched. This leads people to believe that LTE compatibility will be essentially unlocked with a future software update.
I don't know about you guys, but I think that this is great. Not only does this mean that T-Mobile will finally have LTE, but it also means that when buying the Note 2 you're buying a future-proof device. At least, as future-proof as it can get when buying an Android.
