Duh, VZW already has Rev A, just not "the Touch". Alltel also brags they have the largest network, LOL

verizon has Rev. A, but not on any phones...who cares if the network is Rev. A if you can't access it without an additional $60/month for an aircard.

To be honoest, due to the speed of the processor of the phone, the data speed will benefit little if at all from the Rev A upgrade. The only read benefit to rev on a handheld is for tethered internet access as the phone is just a modem at that point.

Rev A allows you to have both a data and voice connection open at the same time.

Got 955k downstream after the upgrade... haven't tested data and voice call at the same time.

alex...rev a does not allow this. voice traffic is handled on 1x, data on evdo, and the two cannot be done simultaneously.

Yeah Alltel is quick to bring out rev-a phones, cards and other things but have a rev-0 network so it is all useless
