Are you kidding ….this is a war for a territory worth billions of dollars. Calling it ‘politics’ or ‘a technical issue’ or suggesting ‘sprint needs to test the market first’ are all really funny explanations. Reality is Verizon, Google, Time Warner, have all successfully beat down ATT in NYC. I wonder how? I mean Apple has billions to dispose of too right? The reason in my view is simple: This is a turf war for billions in revenue.

Craig – can you share how you know you are actually on the 4G network? What does the 4G widget look like when you are on 4G? Is the toggle lighted green?
I just toggled mine on (HTC EVO) and the 4G widget displays a green toggle.
Please share…this is cool!

For the record, 4g is now testing in nyc and actually I’m using it now. I did speed tests today in fact and got 9.1mbps down and 1mbps up. Just be patient. It’s coming. BTW…i live in the Lefferts Gardens section of Brooklyn.

Lots of surprise on that map. Stockton, CA but not San Francisco?

I think they are taking so much time to launch 4g in NYC because they want to get it right… With verizon breathing down sprint’s back with regard to 4g coverage. Some parts of NYC have a weak 4g signal while sprint is testing it. Lady in my local sprint store says launch probably around middle to end of august. Hopfully sooner!
