This is a tower that I pass on my way home. It is listed as one slated for NV but I can't tell if any work has started. Can any of you tell me any NV work has begun here?

Just adding my voice to the welcomes! Good to have you!

Isn't that link only for NonProfit Orgs? Not sure if S4GRU is a registered 501C3, although I could be wrong. I am very new around here after all.

I can see a sales rep needing to make a sale and just telling the customer what he thinks they want to hear, regardless of the training. I take anything a sales rep tells me with a grain of salt. I assume they either don't know or they are just trying to get a sale. I always recommend to friends that they do their own research online before making a purchase. Especially if they are buying at or near launch day.

This is the first time I've ever inspired a thread title! I would like to thank the Academy and I just want to say, You like me! You really like me!

I would have enjoyed good data coverage on my last Metro trip. I was looking at the graffiti along the Red Line until we went underground and after that a little web browsing would have been nice. As for people talking on their phones; that's a fact of life whether it's the movie theater, restaurant, or even the library. Try riding the Green or Yellow line when school lets out and you'll see that cell phone conversations would be a small intrusion.

So this means I'll be able to download truly unlimited data at super high speeds as well as talk in unprecedented HD Voice clarity?

I was salivating a bit at the thought of getting my new EVO in May but I guess the additional wait time will only heighten the sensation when I finally reach that EV-O moment!

Wow the last thing I thought I would see on this site is guys getting onto a bit measuring contest. Lets just all agree that regardless of how you measure your bits, there still not big enough.

The last time I tested I was in Greenbelt and I got 3.11Mbps/1.45Mbps on Wimax and 0.28mbps/0.43Mbps on 3G. I work in Silver Spring near Georgia and Seminary but I am mostly on WiFi but sometimes I can only get 1x speeds before I hit the Beltway. Thes best Wimax I've gotten in awhile was 6.20Mbps/1.43Mbs. I rarely test anymore because I find that the testing numbers keeps me focused on the minutiae rather than my actual user experience.

I have to admit that the article was a little discouraging. I still plan on sticking with Sprint because their data plan prices are the best fit for my family right now. I don't fret about data speeds as much as others because the majority of my data usage is via WiFi but I can understand the frustration that folks are feeling, especially when seeing those speed comparisons.

Oh I believe it! It's why I contributed the first time. It's getting her to believe it. I'll make it happen. It just won't be overnight. I believe in paying for things which give me value.

Thank you. So does network.sprint.com indicate in any way when or if a tower is slated for NV/LTE deployment?

Sorry if this has been addressed guys, but if I see that a tower in my area is due for a "data speed upgrade" does that indicate NV/LTE deployment or just some other speed enhancements?

Great article. Being able to make calls over WiFi would be great for me. Reception inside my house is very poor and I can't seem to get my Airave to work. If I could make and receive calls via WiFi then all of my voice and data usage at work and home would be off the Sprint spectrum completely. Imagine how many more folks could be shifting their spectrum usage that way.

I haven't heard anything about whether the new EVO will be easily rootable but I'm sure there will be tons of custom ROMs available once it gets rooted. I've been thinking about the Nexus as well but I am leaning more towards the EVO. I actually like Sense and I really like the Sense calendar. I haven't found another option that I like as much. On a completely separate note, I tried web browsing over LTE on a Droid Razr last night. Man, that thing was fast! Google searching was almost instant and the web browsing was blazing. If Sprint's LTE is anything like that I am going to love it!

Welcome fellow newbie. So take it you'll be looking at getting the new Evo 4G LTE? Same here.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Hello all. I found you guys through a post on GoodandEvo.net. My first visit resulted in useful information about the progress of LTE in my area so I decided to join and sponsor. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community.
