That's what they want you to do! They even have the Clearwire iSpot so you can have an iPad 4g, iPod 4g, and even a iPhone 4 4G...$25 no data cap! http://www.digitaltrends.com/c

Wow!! And all you have to do is carry around an extra modem, sign up for another service with another carrier, make sure it is charged, and pay an extra fee with another company that is at least $30??? Sounds Awesome dude!! Way to go!!

Mr. Anderson is right I work at sprint the i1 is gonna be launching in stores (already online) and we were supposed to get the white evo for sprint but due to the screen mess that will be delayed. Other than that only a small change will happen on the 11th it is rumored in the industry still for a later August release. Also if it was to launch on the 11th the device advocate would already have their hands on it. Guess what? They don't.

There has never been a phone launched or released with Sprint on a Wednesday, this will not happen unless maybe it is online only but I doubt it. The believable rumor is August 20th for a launch date which is a Friday, same day of the week the EVO was launched.

who cares!?..you cant do anything with a sprint phone that has anything to do with data and voice sametime whenyou want/need to..lmao..Fail!

jrcrow79 you seriously are the "smartest" person ever... Two words, Palm Pre. Oh and what kind of tool sits there and uses both at the same time. Usually when your talking to someone the phone is up to your ear, unless you have it on speaker or using a bluetooth headset. Also the Epic is a 4g phone which would be able to do both. I'll have fun browsing the web, listening to music, talking to friends on my Sprint network, while your looking for a signal.

Voice and data have worked just fine for me the three times I've used it over the past year on my Sprint Palm Pre. The key being I have to have a WiFi connection which I always do at home a work. Since I mainly just text, email, and web this is a non isssue as I may use 200 min in a month. Also since the Epic is 4G it can do simultaneous voice and data while connected to either 4G or WiFi so your comment could not be anymore FALSE. Time for a new d-bag post to submit one every Sprint story jrcrow! http://newsreleases.sprint.com

leave por jrcrow alone. we all know hes on his mommies plan on ATT and really has no say.. so hes trying to make himself feel better by trying to make other carriers look bad. He just doesnt realize hes trying to defend the real joke in the industry, ATT.. lol

I don't get why Sprint doesn't confirm the date already. I was thinking that it might have to do with the EVO being such a hot sail and them wanting to keep selling more and more of it. If this were true though, then why would they make it official that it was coming out? I don't think it would hurt EVO sales at all and it will bring even more people to Sprint because some people like the physical keyboard and some don't. So SPRINT, just let us know already, stop being ri-frickendiculous!

Unless my IAE tells me differently then I am staying with the August 20th date that has been floated by Sprint.

Why did Samsung make the galaxy S differ t for every carrier? I'm looking forward tithe fascinate, but the Epic is the best (IMO) Galaxy S phone of the bunch ... with the qwerty skidding keyboard and front facing camera.
