You really do not want to go that route. AT&T and VZ have become horrible companies that are actively working and lobbying against the public interest. Do not encourage them by giving them more market share.
This article published today is a good place to start reading:

And Sprint is somehow a better company because they SOLD off their wireline businesses? I'm not trying to be anti-Sprint in this thread, as I've said I've been a very positive customer for 10 years. I was just asking if it was worth waiting for Sprint, if after waiting for them to get LTE in place, they will just then be equal to AT&T & Vzw, that I could have now.

So, don't be too hasty in switching. If you are, you may miss a huge improvement in your cellular experience.
and everyone keeps talking about this "bright future", but honestly, will it be any better than AT&T or Verizon at that point?

I've never really been interested in rooting, but even so, people say the Photon bootloader is locked and it can't be done?

I know everyone wants to know about their town. But, I'm pretty much about to jump ship from Sprint after 10 years. First, Motorola screwed me by announcing last year they wouldn't be upgrading my less than a year old Photon to ICS or JB. So, then I was eligible for an upgrade in September, but since Sprint hasn't delivered or even announced LTE in St Louis, I would lose my existing 4g (wimax) if I bought a new phone. We were pretty early on wimax, but now little towns are getting LTE with no mention of St Louis yet. And, the 3g has gone downhill, I used to get around 1.3mb down on 3g, and now it's more like 700k. So going back to 3g, even temporarily, is not an acceptable.
I've reviewed AT&T's coverage maps for LTE and it seems to be pretty strong. The rep at Best Buy right by my house installed Speedtest on his AT&T Note II for me and ran a speed test and got around 24mb down.
So, I guess my questions are when will we see LTE in St Louis? And, even if it were tomorrow, would it be another year before the coverage was even complete/decent? Because it sure looks like AT&T is there now. I would be willing to give Sprint a few more months, but not if it will be spotty when it is delivered. And, if we haven't even been mentioned, it leads me to believe we could be looking at mid to late this year at best.
So, any guess on St Louis, and how good will it be?

haha, well, I was just responding to his comment that AT&T and Vzw are "horrible" companies with a link that says it was because they are wanting to abandon their wired products.
But, more back to my original post(s), yes, I'm frustrated with Sprint for the situation that I'm in personally (with my specific phone) and that St Louis (and other wimax cities with no announced LTE) is in with real dis-incentive to buy a new phone. I would think it would be frustrating for Sprint retailers too.
