Although I'm waiting for the $50 Black Friday sale to use my upgrade and switch to the Galaxy S3, I've been checking out the forums every few days so there's no surprises when I finally get it. My biggest concern (and the reason we've all seriously thought about switching providers), is when am I going to actually get LTE in my area? Because lets face it, It sucks having a powerhouse cellphone that is hobbled by Sprints craptastic service. For me, that LTE launch isn't coming until April 2013. Now I'm not happy about it, in fact I'm kind of pi$$ed off by it because my bill goes up by $10/month once I upgrade to a 4G phone (that really isn't 4G for the first 5-6 months). But before this turns into a full blown rant, you can check the scheduled LTE roll-out dates for your area below. Then you'll have a better idea of how much longer you're going to be pi$$ed off at sprint too!
