I just made and received the first voice calls (ever) from within my home without the Airrave. 800 is up and running finally in Laporte IN.

The G2 will likely be my next device. I plan to pre order in October depending on the specs released prior to that.

Yes, Laporte area. I don't think 800 voice is transmitting yet, since my friends have newer phones that support 800 MHz and there signals are as weak as mine.

You and me both. 1x800 is by far the most important for anyone living outside metro areas.

I too have interest in CDMA 800. I live in a rural area of zip code 46350, and coverage is non existent, so relying on a airave is essential. Having the old EVO 4G, I find myself waiting for confirmation that 800 is up and running before I upgrade to a phone that supports it. If anyone knows what the status of CDMA 800 in my area is, please let me know.

We have a dated EVO 4g phones. In my rural neighborhood we have no signal and rely on a airave, I assume, by your statement, once cdma 1x800 comes online we may finally have a usable signal outside of the airave coverage.
