This is why I choose to have a portable wifi device rather than anything tied to any one gadget. My current device (I have three) works on 3 bands: 850/900/2100 but doesnt do LTE. No matter, where I live its nearly non-existent anyway. But what it means is that it doesnt matter what I take with me, it works with the gadget (netbook, MBP, iPad, iPhone, Android phones and possibly soon an android 7" tablet). Sure, there's limited battery life (currently about 5 hours IIRC) but for the amount of time I genuinely need a connection whilst out and about on anything but my phone, it becomes irrelevant (I rarely use more than an hour anyway).
