First Verizon LTE modem spotted?

What you see here on the right could very well be the first device from Verizon Wireless which supports the carrier’s new 4G service. This LTE modem was spotted at CTIA 2010, where it was located at the ZTE booth, although the good people at that booth did not want to get into trouble with their management by not confirming that this device is ready to ship to Verizon. It would be interesting to see Verizon Wireless customers have it good with a 4G LTE modem, but we are wondering what the early adopter rate would be like before making any other comments on the situation.
