Is Z10 hardware compatible with XLTE

[DickLewis]

Title states it quite well. Read conflicting posts as to whether Z10 hardware is good enough to use XLTE with a software upgrade.

Really appreciate knowledgeable replies and/or even links. Thanks.

Hello DickLewis!

I appreciate your interest in XLTE for the Blackberry Z10! At this time the Blackberry Z10 is not XLTE compatible.

Appreciate the reply, I'm fully aware that the Z10 is not compatible with XLTE at this TIME.

The real question was, is it because hardware or that it needs a software upgrade to make it compatible.

Thanks, but needs a bit more of an answer.

After dozens of searches, it looks like I found my answer finally.

The Z10 STL 100-4 from Verizon doesn't have compatible hardware for XLTE.

To say it sucks is a major understatement.
