  1. Clear doesn't throttle very much since I use it already (if you use more than like 3 or 4GB in a day, the rest of the day is slower data but resets the next day), and they stopped making customers sign contracts late last year. Prepaid carrier only now. The only thing I don't like about that is the modems and hot spots are full price now.

  2. Sprint has said in the past they will not be using the dual WiMax/LTE chips in smartphones because of battery life issues. They will only use them in USB devices and MiFis.

     

    Smartphones will be CDMA/LTE. So you will lose access to WiMax when you get a LTE device on Sprint. I suppose you could get a cheap WiMax hot spot to run though on the side.

    Clear has cheap WiMax for $34.99/ month right now. That is just plain 4G. Cheapest way to have 4G once people start switching to CDMA/LTE only phones.

  3. Actually, the contract is up in April, so we are close. But paying $50 for an ETF is cheaper than keeping active service for the next 2 months, that is why I'm asking. Clear has a better deal on 4G for $35/month unlimited.

  4. Sense on the Evo Shift released with the Gingerbread upgrade was a nightmare, but all the custom ROM's with hybrid 2.1/3.0 sense worked much nicer. Now that I'm using Sense 3.0 entirely, it can be slow on my Shift, but overall for the first day I'm very happy with it.

  5. That port in credit is what helped convince me to become a Sprint customer last year. I got my evo shift 4G for like $9.24 since the store waived the activation too. It was a really awesome deal. I probably should have gotten a better phone, but I really wanted the physical keyboard, and I was short the extra $20 or $30 for the Epic.

  6. I got my iPhone 3Gs in June, 2009. In June 2010 when the iPhone 4 was released, I got my upgrade date pushed up automatically by at&t. It was their way to get you roped in for another year on contract. I don't know if they still do that now, but it sure hooked me on getting my iPhone 4.

  7. I'm getting ready to buy an extended battery for my Evo Shift 4g, and that should get me by all day, but lately, I don't use much battery when I'm in California compared to Nevada. And the signal here is only like 1 bar better than in Nevada for the most part.
