This move would make alot of sense considering the fact that p.a mentioned awhile back that sprint was pretty much ditching working on it's 4G pipeline with Wimax and working on it's 4G LTE. It's only natural for it's subsidiaries would too. But if this does go through, and this rumor turns out to be true, what does that mean for other 4G enabled phones like the Samsung Galaxy S2 I have for boost mobile? I'd think that it'll keep it's 3G ongoing because it's already in more areas and is basically a standard. I've read and article before that Nokia windows enabled devices will get updates to 7.8 until mid 2013--2014 to be as close to windows 8, just for the sake for the people already on a 2-year pact with it. Conclusion-- 4G's clock is ticking for about 2-3 years until Sprint's 4G LTE footprint is completed before getting axed. This is entirely based on my personal opinion, just fyi.

IPhone 5 n galaxy s3 running on boosts or virgins aka Sprints LTE network for 50 bucks a month sounds like a good deal since sprints LTE is fast were its available.

After getting Boost LTE in my area, why would I stick to Sprint? Just to pay more I guess.

Then what about the 4G WiMax enabled phones they've sold? I know Sprint is going to 4G LTE, but since those phones aren't made for it, does that mean they'll just be running off 3G?

I have A ZTE Warp when they first came out. I would like to see boost get the Samsung Galaxy 4s would be nice. Stop giving us all of these crappy phones and give us a few higher end phones. I'm tired of these cheap phones. You do have some adults that don't mind spending a few dollars on a nicer phone.
