Verizon Promises Fix for LTE Outage, Postpones Droid Charge Launch [UPDATED]

Update: Verizon says that its LTE network is "back up and running."

No further details regarding the reason for the outage are available at this time.

Verizon's LTE network has been having some major issues in the past 24 hours, and the company has issued an official statement about the problem, promising a fix as soon as possible.

Luckily, while the 4G portion of Verizon's data communication has been unavailable, 3G is working well. According to Verizon, 4G LTE smartphones should still be able to make calls, but customers are unable to activate any 4G LTE devices.

Verizon says it has determined the cause of the 4G LTE network connection issue and is "continuing to work to restore connections."

Meanwhile, Engadget reports that Verizon has postponed the launch of Samsung Droid Charge, which is hardly surprising as it is also an LTE device.

We'll keep you updated with any new info about the outage.
