Educate yourself before posting buddy. Sprint has no EVDO agreements with Verizon, only 1xRTT. If you are roaming and getting EVDO speeds, you're most likely roaming off of Alltel's network. Sprint has the largest EVDO network in the US (though Verizon has the largest DOrA network).

here in texas sprint never roams off verizon for evdo but you can get 1xrtt from them. for evdo roaming you have to do that with alltels network. althought there is not need for that anymore since sprint keeps expanding its rev a network specially here in good ol texas.

Check your numbers guys, the investments from Comcast and Intel were in Billions, and total investment from outside partners is $3.2B.

great...wireless for laptops n other people who want/need internet..I could care less..I have a BB Curve 8310..lol..you dont need 3g for unlimited texting/2way via walkie talkie feature...verizon customers all say you need 3g compared to edge..depends on area/signal strength..did you soft reset a bunch of times so your signal switches to a better tower..hello!...I have yet to complain about my edge/gsm wireless service.

Wi Max is Verizons Red Headed step child! LTE is going to be where its at whydo you think not only Us ( The # 1 carrier in post paid ) and At&t ( #1 overall ) are both backing LTE? Sprint is a dying breed thats why I dont work there anymore!!!!!!!!!
