Most people upgrade their phones every 22 months, so any device sold that supports LTE will work fine with the existing and upgrade networks.

 

Your EVO3D will work great with Network Vision, and you'll see enhanced 3G speeds and slightly better coverage as well. When you upgrade your phone this year or next year, you'll get a device which will access the LTE network for 4G, and still enjoy the enhanced 3G.

 

You won't get LTE access on your 3VO ever.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware I will not have LTE on my phone but I tend to change phones after more than 2 years so I am curious about my phone's capabilities. My question regarding my phone really is this: As the phone supports 3g on the 800mhz band, will I ever see use there or will that band be strictly going from IDEN to LTE with no 3g support?

Hi all,

So my question is this: Why would anyone buy a current phone when it won't support the full list of bands that Sprint plans to use in the future? Could someone clarify for me?

Future Sprint bands:

800 Mhz (IDEN) to be switched over to LTE

1900 Mhz (LTE currently being deployed)

2600 Mhz (Clearwire LTE?)

If I read correctly current phone offerings only support the 1900 Mhz band and not the 800 Mhz LTE nor the Clearwire bands.

Also, I currently own an EVO3D which has 3g support for the 800 Mhz band. How will network vision affect me? Will I be able to use 3g on the 800 mhz band or will it be LTE only?

A little confused.
