I would love for someone that knows way more than me to get out there and run the EVO thru its paces. If I didn't know any better I would think all of you guys were full of it about the issue before the update. It's that good now.

BGR is a joke. This was the original story from the consumerist.com

Still not a good look for Sprint but definitely puts it in the right perspective.

I did do some limited testing today with the LTE that we do have. It seems that from one live LTE site to another that isn't active yet. From what I see the signal tends to drop off at about -124ish. I assume that before that point it would handoff to that tower that isn't active. These two towers are about 1.5 miles from each other.
I also did some inside testing. On the fringe of the handoff is where my GF's mom lives. My signal inside dropped to about -120ish and was able to pull about 4-6mbs
My only point of this was to illustrate that coverage in Florida is going to be awesome when all the towers are completed. I want to look at the the Hillsborough portion of the Tampa market. I imagine the towers are as tightly packed there as over here

I can likely get out there tomorrow maybe. Unfortunately, this pesky thing people call Christmas has me on lock down. Funny how things work out. Just a week ago you were over there mapping on the way to the beach

Keep in mind that the initial launch sites may have changed for a number of reasons. It may be another. Worth a ride just to satisfy your curiosity.
The tower that is in South St Pete that is live I couldn't believe it was sending LTE all the way where it was showing on sensorly so I took a ride. Found another site was live and got the deep purple in that area. It's funny though the tower I found seems to be more of a helper to get a user to another close by tower.

Any of you guys live in Clearwater? I got LTE @60 and the bridge. I did get to map it but by the time I got to 49th street the signal was dropping to unusable, so I'm assuming it was coming from the Clearwater side

I'm just getting LTE here but I got a taste of the connection issues other were having. The update I believe solved all of it. My phone connects within seconds of entering a deployment area. Tonight as a test I started running CM10 and had the same experience with fast connect.
Was also able to run sensorly on 3G and have it connect to LTE and record with no issues

I have seen speed range from 4M-30M I'm happy anywhere in there to be honest. Today was the first time I was able to test inside coverage. Wasn't impressed but I also understand that we are not even close to being done yet

Its all of us really, just think there are sites that we don't even know about. That tower was right in your backyard and you had no idea. Between all of us there maybe 4,5 6 who knows how many more we haven't seen.
For you guys mapping today. If you think you are near a LTE area do a toggle. My phone was flawless today picking it up and I got comfortable. In two areas in downtown St Pete I toggled and hit a signal. Unusable but still there

Crap. Got another. Wildman it's the one by your wife's job the self supporter. Possibly could be the Tyrone one too. I'm right between them

Ok just so we can all get on the same page..
We have a hot tower by Seminole Mall
We have a hot tower near Natures Trail in Valrico/Brandon
We have something happening near 22nd ave N
anything else? Total of 3 in the last 12 hours?
I'm going to hit a few other in progress sites. There is one that I am curious about off of 22nd N . Its hard for me to believe that the tower in South St. Pete is reaching all the way there..
