I'd like to see how battery life performs on the EVO 4G LTE and the S3 now that there's LTE.

Battery life for both the Sprint editions of the GS III and EVO 4G LTE will probably be similar in LTE mode. The problem I am having is with the footprint of Sprint's LTE network. I wonder how many of Sprint's total subscribers are located in the areas that now have LTE? At least VZW rolled out their LTE network to high subscriber density areas first. There were some hiccups, but they learned from the hiccups. I see Sprint taking a safe approach short-term that could end up biting them when they start to have high user counts.

Battery Life in any LTE phone is all that great except Droid Razor Maxx because of its massive battery. I have a Galaxy Note which has 2500mah and it will last about 10 hours of heavy use. You are best to get an extended life battery or extra battery to avoid issues.

Still forgetting to add the LG Viper to the list. Lol.

Although I have Verizon, I think AT&T is in the best position in this 4G stage for the GS3. Just about everywhere that AT&T has 3G, it has HSPA+, which is pretty fast. Although Verizon has larger coverage for 3G, it is really slow, and the 4GLTE takes more battery and is slowing down day by day with more and more users on it.

This is rather underwhelming considering that my region never got Wi-Max...3G speeds were regularly bellow 300Kbps. I guess we'll get LTE here by 2015...Meanwhile I'll go attack my mom for buying an Evo 4G LTE and being in the region least likely to get LTE for the next two years....lol
