Picked up a 4G Signal in Los Angeles!

I know when NYC gets its coverage, it's going to extend 15 miles around Manhattan. So maybe it's the same for LA?
I'm in Cincinnati and we are supposed to get it by the end of the year but you know I will be trying every single day untill I get a signal!!!
Be aware that Sprint is in the active testing phase for LA. That means you will see access on the EVO, but likely for a short period of time until they turn it off again.
Hope there is a signal in the beach cities (Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo). Would be nice to have a signal at work in Rosemead...but not holding my breath on that one.Sprint/Clear WiMax in Los Angeles | Exstatica
I have pictures of towers on our building near LAX. No 4g phone yet to test but I will next week
I live a block away from the Promenade. Any ideas where in Santa Monica the towers are (i.e. downtown, Pier, etc.)? Are the towers "live" yet?
A Sprint rep at local Sprint Store told me the Los Angeles rollout of 4G would happen during the summer and would include Santa Monica but I was skeptical. I thought Sprint would first concentrate on downtown L.A. then move west.

Good to see what the antenna looks like. Just like a big wireless router.
There is a water tower on a hill outside my office with all the repeaters on it here in Poway, I'll have to keep an eye out if they're doing anything up there. Can see it out the window. Of course here, I can just use wifi. Same at home.

that's awesome news! I'm an iPhone 3GS user and want to get the EVO - AT&T here in Los Angeles sucks - I'm at 5th and Flower and literally when I get a 3G signal (which is spotty no matter what the bars say) even out on the street I get a max of 0.8 mBs.. How's the 3G signal for Sprint downtown here?
What we need is an app that lets our phones assist in mapping out coverage areas. Maybe to get real life coverage maps of existing markets, and expose towers not yet made public
well up until an hour ago I was willing to take up to 6 months of 3G so I was still curious - but if we can get live 4G right now I just don't know how I could pass it up!

I am not in LA. So i can't comment. I do get great signal when i do got to downtown LA. Some area's i lose signal but i guess its due to the buildings.

with my sprint overdrive i pick up some 4g signal in downtown all the way to la cienega, and spotty in some spots in santa monica
Yeah, because I didn't think 4G was available in LA yet. I was just curious what would happen if I turned on the 4G antenna, and voila, 4G icon.
As far as the battery drain, I don't know if it's any worse than with 3G. The battery did drain, but I was heavily using the phone to browse and perform speed tests. lol
I ran five more speed tests during my lunch break, and I averaged 2.87 Mbps down and was consistently at 0.98 Mbps up, so I think the up is capped.
