Motorola will be one of the first to have an LTE smartphone on Verizon's just-launched network, the carrier's COO John Stratton reaffirmed on Tuesday. Confirming earlier hints, Stratton said Motorola would be "right there" when Verizon moves 4G from modems down to the phone level. Neither company has confirmed the timing to the Wall Street Journal, although Verizon has gone on record as planning for the first phones to arrive at or before mid-2011.
