Great read, thank you.

This is so awesome!! Sprint really needs to keep this up.

It would be hard to go back to no SVDO as you get used to having it. I use it all the time in my car with navigation and when I'm at the movies looking up times and calling at the same time. You don't realize how much you get used to it until you meet someone who can't do it. I mean ATT knew it was a big deal which is why they spent millions of commercials advertising that their network could talk and surf at the same time. But hey to each his own right?Hey Robert what ever happened to the article on all the phone signal quality reviews? I remember you said you were done with the testing but are writing the story. Do you have an ETA? Thanks and keep up the great work!

I use svdo too much now for me to go to a device that doesn't support it.

Thanks for the article, very interesting to see how this will play out over time.

All I saw was "WIN" and thought we were doing a give away. I was all excited for a minute there,

Wait, did I see St. Thomas USVI on the list? LOL, yeah right.

Great write up as usual, I didn't even realize the quadcore variant was just a naked chip with no incorporated modems. Also, maybe I read this wrong but I thought the viper supported svdo, doesnt it?

Damn, feel like my brain is about to explode..............Excellent write up AJ, this was really good.

Well yet again, Sprint has over promised and under delivered.What a non event this has turned out to be.I live on the NW side 249 & Louetta rd. Drove to Willowbrook, 1960 & 45 and back to the house the length of Louetta. No 4G anywhere. From the reports on the various fourms, I am not alone.Some launch. Oh, and 3G is the same crappy 50kbps I have been stuck with for months. No improvement there either. Can't even stream a radio station on TuneIn.What is it I am paying for Sprint?

How did sprint over promise and under deliver? Do you expect everything to go smoothly at the flip of a switch? This is a work in progress and things are in the process of getting better.

Come on sprint make me proud, oh and you better make me some money on that stock purchase from a few months ago.

According to Sprint the Atlanta market from up around me and south to your area and east to Athens is switched on but ......I'm seeing 3G

LMAO!!!!! Trust me bro, I am well informed but thanks though.

Come on sprint, flip that switch in the ATL!!!!!!!!!

Just got back to atlanta, nothing yet.

Yell at me all you want. The Greater Cleveland Metro area has over 2 million people and the City of Cleveland has a population density of about 5 times greater than PR. /rant

Ok and?

Whats your point?

I have to say.. I love PR and can't wait to go back.. but why the hell is PR getting NV before many many markets in the US?? Sorry PR, I love you.. but need NV in Cleveland first.

The population of Cleveland is about 400,000

The population of Puerto Rico is about 3.7 million

Thanks for the update Robert, still though I am pretty positive that PR will get upgraded fairly quickly, I am just nervous that the VI will get shafted like they do with everything else thats related to technology.

Whatever the type of qwerty keyboard, the photon faithfuls are going to be pissed.

There is a possibility that they will unblock prior to the launch. We just now know what the drop dead date for that is.Robert

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a "soft launch" a few days before to work out all the kinks since all these towers are all gonna be on at the same time for the first time.

about damn time? wtf? go count your LTE phones. lol.

Ok, I will.......

Atlanta for the win, its about damn time. Anyway though, if it weren't for s4gru I would have probably jumped ship to att months ago. Thanks Robert for all your hard work.

Charlotte airport, I swear they have more delays than any where else in the world. Good news about lte though.

I was in the dc area two weeks ago but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a signal but this is great news. DC is my second most traveled to place so this is just wonderful.

Reading the comments over at Sprint in response to the posting is painful. Like Sprint decided to delay them. People need to get a grip. I'm disappointed, but whatcha gonna do? I'll be more than happy if they give me a gel case like they did with the EVO LTE.Robert

I got to call you out on this one, LOL. Yes its very frustrating when it comes to delays but its very easy for you to say since you already have a gnex and a evolte to quench your smartphone thirst. Someone who's been using the same phone for a few years can't relate to what you are saying.

Well damn, this sucks.

Picked mine up from BB this afternoon Is it worth $169 for the 2 yr replacement? Didn't know that Sprint was charging a $30 device upgrade charge.

If you contact ecare, they usually will credit you back that charge.
