Nokia Lumia 810 owners hoping for an update to 4G LTE are out of luck.


The Lumia 810's hardware can support both HSPA+ and LTE. But T-Mobile has confirmed that an update to LTE isn't going to happen, at least not at this point, according to a statement sent to CNET today:


While the Nokia Lumia 810 features a chipset, which provides the hardware capability to support both HSPA+42 and LTE, the device will not automatically access our LTE network and, at this time, it will not receive an update to do so.


T-Mobile is committed to enhancing customers' experience with our devices, including providing upgrades to device features and operating systems, and T-Mobile aims to deliver software upgrades when it will provide a better experience for our customers. We'll share additional information on upgrades for the Nokia Lumia 810 when they are available.


The news comes as a letdown to Lumia 810 owners since T-Mobile, which is the phone's only U.S. carrier, had reportedly promised an LTE update. Representatives for the carrier told Engadget in January that an upcoming software update would turn the switch on LTE.
