Yes, it would look terrible. I bought a LTE phone with the understanding that it could in the future connect to Sprint's LTE network. If every other device can connect but mine can't there will be some uproar from lots of people who bought the Evo LTE. It has LTE in the name! I am perfectly fine with it not being to connect to a network that doesn't really exist yet, but I will have a huge problem when and if it can't connect to the network when it is launched.
