Sprint 4G LTE coverage/markets list

It's Dallas, GA actually, and yes Sprint has LTE here in Dallas, GA. Check the coverage map. So, we don't think it's us, we know it's us.

I wish Dallas, Oregon!!!

Think about it.... Those are 2 of the largest markets in the us.... Too many towers to replace, too many users to ramp up a new service.... It would be an utter nightmare if things dont go to plan.

Sprint's 3G in the SF bay area is running around 600 kb/s down every time I would stop at a Sprint store to drool over the EVO 4G LTE. Forcing my RAZR into 3G and running Speedtest, showed speeds around 1,100 kb/s down each time. Maybe VZW users are moving to LTE, which frees up 3G. Of course, CA is not on Sprint's LTE list, so slow data remains for them.

You have got to be kidding me...... Sprint's 3g (no offense) is the worst in the nation.... i just cant believe you get 1.5 mbps

agreed and +1000

Cause they are losing customers to carriers with LTE networks? If you offer an LTE-capable phone, the phone should be fast, right? Perception is reality and what-not.

Why do companies patent products that are not yet in the market? Why did Apple push out an iPad with such high resolution when nothing was even capable of utilizing? Not trying to bash Apple or anything, I think the iPad 3's resolution is its greatest feature but that's just what came in mind when I read your question.

Why should they sell non LTE phones when LTE is on the cusp of launching. Had they sold customers phones incapable of LTE, and then rolled out LTE as they are now people would be furious that they didn't have a chance to buy LTE phones. They would be stuck on non performing LTE phones for 2 years if they didn't offer those phones now. Some of you have no clue and think that you have better business sense than Dan Hesse yet look at the misinformed remarks posted here. Some of you couldn't run a flea circus based on the responses that I have read! From a business stand point Sprint is firing on all cylinders based on the cards they were dealt with Wimax failing to be adopted, and Clearwire almost going belly up! Had Wimax been adopted we would be way ahead of the game. NYC is a large market but from what I have researched the large buildings, and interference from them makes implementation of LTE more of a challenge. Therefore more time would be needed to get it right there. I am in the NYC market with a SG III, and I will be happy very soon based on my research of when LTE should be rolling out. I could have stayed with my Photon, but I am so much more happier with my SG III performance wise that it doesn't matter about LTE as long as I can call people and text. When LTE launches I will have unlimited data, and thumb my nose at all the Sprint haters, and people that couldn't wait after waiting all this time. UNLIMITED DATA is better fro 79.00 for me and I will have all that I can stand real soon!

I apologize for being so blunt, but You are stating you "really don't understand" and then you follow up with the MAGIC word "why" AND then you make the statement that someone, regardless of what wireless carrier your referring too, should be unemployed in this down economy. Makes me wonder how silly-silly your comment sounds. But since you did take the time out of your busy existence to post this comment - here is your answer - short and sweet. "Money baby money" It's not a bad word and no profitable business will shy away from it. It pays for this site operate. Take a look at all the advertising around you.

Many like myself, were do for an upgrade and couldn't wait any longer. I needed a new phone. Sprint offering me an LTE ready phone, allowed me to upgrade and have room to advance into LTE when launched. Imagine how many would've been upset having to purchase a non-LTE phone on a two year contract only to have LTE launched a month later and more markets within another six months. John B.

alfadolla, you didn't really think this comment through very well. You have to have phones available to meet customer demand. The phones are backwards compatible and future (LTE) ready. It would be ignorant of Sprint to not offer hardware which is ready for future networks which they are building. If Sprint rolled out their network and had no phones available that would be really nearsighted. It takes time and money to make progress with technology. For people with contracts and buying new devices, especially those here on phonearena, they are going to buy devices which are future ready. Besides, I am sure that Sprint wishes that they had MORE control over the hardware, is that really what you want?
