Needless to say this will be when I use my next Upgrade.... I Don't care what is released before then, if it doesn't have support for all 3 LTE bands I DON'T WANT IT!
Just so you guys know Sprint is also scheduled to release phones by 3Q'13 that support all three bands of LTE....800, 1900, and 2.5...This should be very important news for people looking to upgrade soon.....
Having a Tri-Band LTE phone insures you'll have maximum availability of coverage for LTE. It will keep your phone relevant for years to come.

Sprint is preparing to launch new phones in the second half of 2013 that support LTE technology in all of the company's major frequency bands, according to Sprint Director of Device Product Marketing Trevor A. Van Norman. The company had previously hinted at dual-band phones, but now plans to skip straight to tri-band, to fully support all of the company's planned LTE deployments. In addition to Sprint's current LTE band near 1900 MHz (band 25), the phones will also support LTE near 800 MHz and 2,500 MHz. The 800 band (also known as ESMR, BC10, and band 27) hosts iDEN - which is being phased out - and CDMA. Sprint has previously announced plans to deploy LTE technology in that band in early 2014. Sprint will also keep CDMA in part of the 8900 band and/or in certain regions. The 2,500 MHz band (also known as band 41) hosts both WiMAX and LTE technologies, and is owned by Clear, which Sprint is trying to acquire control of. Regardless of the outcome of that transaction, Sprint will use the Clear LTE network to augment its LTE coverage and capacity.
