Did you make a choice? Are you happy with it? Have you had LTE signal to test? I'm contemplating the same question as my big blue iphone went belly up. I liked the GS3 spec wise (though only slightly better IMO). But after playing with the interfaces for some time I liked the HTC EVO LTE4G UI a bit better. The specs look pretty close to me except for RAM and a few UI and personal choice things. I think I need to play with the interfaces more to see if the s3 secret shortcuts I don't know about yet win me over or start to make sense. Also only had Andriod gingerbread for 1 week so its still kind of new to me in general. Also quirks on both sides,e.g. I didn't see a "favorites" in the contacts section on the HTC. I feel like i'd be wasting time looking through recents or searching a lot. I think the UI differences really make a huge difference for me. Which would bring me to a Nexus if there was one available with more recent hardware. Though after reading about HTC EVO LTE 4G connection problems "some" are having in these forums: LTE, WIFI, AIRRAVE with the HTC I wonder how prevalent the issue is if I want to chance it. S3: RAM, Removable battery, S-Voice, Stay On(?), NatureX UI, slightly better camera (-Bluish Tint or is that screen?), S-AMOLED EVO 4G LTE: Sense UI, S-LCD, (-Connection Issues??) Nexus: Older HW. Maybe I should reconsider this?

Hi Robert, I realize I wasn't very clear. I was just curious about the reliability of your source data in LTE build outs for NOVA.The Sprint plan I understand is a guesstimate based on the data at hand. I suppose my comments about Sprint timeline reliability was mostly rant on my part. The thing that scares me most, if they've never officially announced D.C., this all may just be something unrelated like network testing for QA. It's easy for DC to fall to the wayside if they haven't announced anything yet. I think you addressed my main question at a high level, you feel very comfortable with your sources. Thank you for the well written response. I've been quite impressed with your site. Keep it up.

Thanks for this info! Maybe I missed it(?) but i'm wondering the source and reliability of this? I would love to be able to believe the LTE is coming soon in NOVA and go with Sprint. But I desperately need a new phone now and I'm just not sure I can trust Sprint here to deliver on timelines. From reading this, it sounds like we are talking about a city that has never been officially announced but we expect it to go live soon? I understand their need to get the initial infrastructure working before you let customers on, but the "Oh its coming" promise without actual launches makes me question go live dates. "Show me the money?". I want to believe it...but again from reading Sprint's track record on delivery these last few years doesn't appear to be stellar. But, then again im more of a lurker then a reasearcher on this. Thoughts?
