  1. NOTE: This might be old news to some. I've been checking priododically for LTE in Minneapolis on my EVO LTE, and while it's nice to see it mapped along the highways downtown in Sensorly, the only place I've ever actually gotten it is in my 21st story apartment... which is about a 15 blocks from the nearest purple blob. Starting last week, I've been getting a steady two-bar signal. I never got WiMax in my building because it's a brutalist-archtected concrete fortress from the 70s, but LTE signal is steady, although as soon as I go down to the lobby, I lose it. Speed ain't bad, but it rarely cracks 10Mbps, instead hovering around 6-9Mbps down, and about the same up. I hope we can expect better once its fully deployed, but it would be fast enough to download all my podcasts on the go, wheras Sprint 3G sucks for that. Of course, since it's just in my apartment, it can't compete with wifi, so it's mostly just a glimce into the future for now.
  2. Can someone clarify the news on this? I live in downtown MPLS and I wasn't expecting any towers in my area to be upgraded until at least late September, and I wasn't getting my hopes up for a live signal until early next year. But there were a couple of comments in this thread which seemed to imply that work is already underway in the Minnesota market, and even that some towers in MPLS will be turned on soon. Am I reading that wrong? I'd be happy to do some field work and take pictures if it will help report on the progress. My Evo LTE is running a pre-alpha CM10 ROM, so I'd have to flash to a backup Stock ROM in order to test for an LTE signal (not that I'd expect to find one). Let me know.
  3. I know it's in the second round, but... how much sooner? (First post, so I thought I'd hedge my shameless beg with a quick "thanks for this site!")
