Developer Krishna Sagar has found references in iOS 5.1 that refer to switching to 4G when on a phone or FaceTime call.
iDB was able to confirm the following strings appear in this file: var/stash/Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj/Network.strings
"4G_ON_CALL_CANCEL" = "Cancel"; "4G_ON_CALL_OK_DISABLE" = "Disable"; "4G_ON_CALL_OK_ENABLE" = "Enable"; "4G_ON_CALL_WARNING_DISABLE" = "Disabling 4G will end your phone call. Are you sure you want to disable 4G?"; "4G_ON_CALL_WARNING_ENABLE" = "Enabling 4G will end your phone call. Are you sure you want to enable 4G?"; "4G_ON_FACETIME_4G_WARNING_DISABLE" = "Disabling 4G will end FaceTime. Are you sure you want to disable 4G?"; "4G_ON_FACETIME_WIFI_WARNING_DISABLE" = "Disabling 4G may end FaceTime. Are you sure you want to disable 4G?"; "4G_TEXT" = "Using 4G loads data faster, but may decrease battery life.";
After seeing the performance of the LTE iPad, the 4G LTE iPhone can't arrive soon enough.
