Re: I wonder

Good question. Because of the deployment of Q-Chat, the PTT service over CDMA, Sprint has had to deploy their faster network standard (EVDO - Rev A) across a far larger footprint than most realize - their coverage maps show it. For those of us who have used Sprint (and I had a pre-EVDO aircard), the aircard coverage is a lot better at these faster speeds. In fact www.thestreet.com has an article on Sprint aircards vs. VZ recently and shows Sprint to be the better match. Long story short, while stepping down speeds, the overall experience of 4G to 3G and vv should be seamless and nationwide (I hope). Whether the 3G/4G service costs $60 might be another matter...

Re: I wonder

Sprint has more towers because of 1900 vs 800 range, more towers mean more potential bandwidth, which means faster EVDO speeds. I still dont understand why on earth EVDO Rev 0 ever came out if it was going to be killed in 2 years! How many wasted base station transmitter card that now become toxic E-Waste.

Re: I wonder

EVDO will be around for a long time. WiMAX won't have equivalent coverage for probably 5+ years.
