In another thread KBG29 brought something up that I had been wondering about.  How many people would wait for a 4G or GSM switch and how much would you be willing to pay for it?  


I play my switch very close to my router (plus I've only been playing Zelda so I don't need a connection) so i haven't had any problems but i have heard some complain that the WiFi is weak.  The above question assumes that Nintendo get 4G/3G or GSM implementation right. If they didn't I think it could really hurt the Switch brand.

I don't know much about Cell service outside of the USA so I'm not sure if GSM would cover most of the world or if implementing Cell service in the switch would then lock Nintendo into producing different switches for different regions to be compatible with their cell networks. Ideally the region free one Switch for the whole world concept is a solid one in my opinion and I don't know that i would like to see them have to produce different units for different regions.

So would you trade in your release Switch for a GSM model?  Would you be willing to buy a service contract?  How do you think Nintendo should handle this if they implemented the idea? What would be the top end you would be willing to pay?
