Sprint has the largest voice calling area of any carrier in the US. Look it up.

Further still, those maps are just silly out of date. Go to Sprint.com and look at 4G data maps and then realize more than 10 more cities are going in June and 4G coverage is projected at 120 million people by the end of the year (approximately 1/3 of country or more).

Do some homework. Stop typing google search buzzwords for hits and try to look like less of an idiot.

Thanks for visiting and commenting – I always appreciate the comments.

Plus on top of them expecting you to use more data (whether ur in a 3G or 4G area), they have dropped the 5GB data cap (that whether people realize it or not does exist on all carriers here in the US)

I live in West Rogers Park. The guy I borrowed the Clear dongle from (a Clear rep.) lives in Edewater/Andersonville. He gets the same slow speed with different hardware. I know there are great spots too. I got 11.5mps in Palatine. 200kbs is very bad though and it has been like that for several months. The techs told my friend (the rep) that its a hardware issue at the tower. They have all their resources expanding into new markets instead of maintaining existing, but still brand new, markets. My friend has since stopped selling Clear because he doesnt believe in their product.

With all that said Im still excited about this phone. Its the tip of new technology thats gonna change the game. The support and speeds will catch up. And if the world goes the way of LTE, well, I will be eligible for a new phone after 1yr.

Jim: Did you forget to mention that Sprint handsets are limited to 2G, not 3G, data service when roaming on Verizon?

Jim, did you forget to mention that Sprint handset roaming on Verizon is limited to 2G data access, not 3G?

@ Big Cat

I'm not sure where you live, but I get 2-4 mps down in the loop and in Schaumburg. There are some holes but I haven't seen speeds that slow in Chicago. Where are you testing 4G?

4G requires you to be near a window, I notice better signal in my living room than in my bedroom.

The Apple fanboys are angry that with EVO and Android 2.1/2.2, Google/HTC/Sprint have leapfrogged Apple's iPhone 4G and maybe even their 5G.

I will be dumping my iPhone 3GS in 12 days and picking up my pre-ordered EVO. Bye, bye Apple & AT&T, it was fun while it lasted!!!!

The $10 also gets you truly unlimited data as compared to Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T which is capped at 5GB. In this day and age with news consumption and You Tube one can actually exceed 5GB easily if not careful.

at $79.00 a month for Unlimited Talk, Text and Mobile to Mobile with 450Mins is not a bad deal at ALL. Maybe you should write about that instead.

So for the Sprint Simply Everything its $109.00 a month for Unlimted Calls to anyone, Unlimted Text and Unlimted Data it beats Verizon and AT&T,

Verizon $89.00 for unlimited talk and text. data package for $29.99 for Data or $44.99 for Enterprise

So $90+30 = $120 or $90+45 = $135 a month with Verizon

AT&T = 90 + 30 = $120 for Unlimited Everything.

AT $109.00 from sprint for the EVO 4G that includes everything is a much better deal – Why don't posters, bloggers and tech sites mention that!

They just seem to fixate on a $10 per month for Unlimited Data and still cheaper than the same package as the other carriers.

Hi Carter – thanks for commenting – I didn't realize that – would be interested in submitting a guest post here at Social Media SEO talking about the wimax radio and 4G mobile web speed?

Thanks again
