I really don't know if the Og EVO will get WiMax working with ICS or not. The underlying similarities between the Design and the Shift is the only reason that the Shift will get WiMax working with ICS. You should check on the EVO Q&A section over at XDA and see if someone ever asked about it and there might be hope.
No, it wasn't. It was a consolidation move to simplify the company by making it a wireless company. But even then, according to the annual reports, they still have a few business landlines running around.
One thing you have to remember is that that map is just for the towers that are to be completed this month. This is of course a tentative map and can be subject to delays. Give them some time and they will get to the towers in your area.
Wouldn't that just be wild. Sprint split it's landline division off. Embarq then merges with CenturyTel to form Century Link. Century Link then buys Qwest. And then Century Link has considered buying Sprint? If that happened, then Sprint was cursed to be stuck with that landline division after all, lol.
They have SIM's, but they are imbedded into the device, so they aren't hot-swappable like Verizon. Hopefully one day Sprint will start releasing LTE devices with removable SIM cards.
