I am sitting this one out as well. My EVO3D serves my purposes fine for now and Austin has pretty decent wimax coverage. I am holding off for a phone that will support multiple LTE bands and waiting for maturity in Sprint's LTE network. Also because I don't get an upgrade until Apr. 1st 2013.
Yeah, that last part will hold you back a bit, won't it?

Just thought I'd start my first post and first topic separate from the EVO thread, since that's already over 20 pages long. I actually had to go through quite the process this morning to get mine!
* Call Retentions to get some service / whatever credits - ended up getting up to $80 a line as a one-time thing, so basically a bill cycle for free, after mentioning the T-Mobile $100 for any phone deal. I probably won't see the full credit, since the lines will only be $50 plus tax, but it can't hurt to try and get the rest after one billing cycle.
* Call SERO activations to get my F&F 500 lines upgraded to a SERO-P + $10 ($50 total) plan. It took too long for my blood to complete on sprint.com, so on to the next step...
* Call Telesales > Employee Accounts to order the pair of phones. All in all, it took about 2 hours between being on the phone and waiting for sprint.com to update. Whew...
Only bad part of it all was that my 27% corporate discount has always been on my $30 plans (I assume because they were really F&F mockups of SERO, but it had all the same features), so the lines ended up being less than $23 a month. I'm in for a bit of a reality check, but it's time to make the jump to Android.
The guy I was on the phone with said that the phones could ship as early as this week but had no proof of that, so that was probably a load of smoke - but here's to hope! I'm sure going to miss that discount, heheh...

So only about 66KBps for 3G? I figured the NV upgrade would be better than that, unless it was just a 4G upgrade. I remember 4-5 years ago when I could get 75-90KB (not Kb) in my small area off 3-4 bars via EVDO. Those 4G speeds are hot though. Can't wait for them to start working on the Charlotte market!
