Yo!!!

I picked up my EVO this morning and the guy at Radio Shack mentioned the area was covered by 4G. I instantly figured he was just trying to hype Sprint and was just talking because Rochester, NY is certainly not listed as having 4G coverage. Well much to my surprise, I have 2 out of 3 bars of 4G coverage!!!!!!

Anyone else finding this or is Rochester a hidden gem?
 
I was told the same thing here in orlando. He said in some spots they have 4g...we'll see
 
There is 4G service active in many markets not on Sprint's list as they are being tested and built out before being turned up.

Note that if you call with issues Sprint will tell you that you are not in a 4G area and decline to provide much/any help which is understandable.
 
Damn, i'm in Brooklyn and were not getting 4G here until "Late July" my shack guy told me. Very upset we still gotta pay the premium, thats bulls**t! LOVE THE PHONE BTW.
 
I'm in Rochester. I haven't picked up any 4G signal yet. I'll have to try in a different location. :^)
 
Yup, I'm in Rochester and the display unit at the corp store in Henrietta was getting a 4g signal. They said it is in and out and should be officially up at the end of the month/early July.

You could always get an iPhone and get 200MB for $15.
 
I seem to recall reading an article about RadioShack's installing a 4G antenna in most of their stores... But it's only within a certain range of their stores. Of course as usual, I could always be wrong.
 
Each corporate Sprint store is to be a 4G hotspot within the month. I never did hear the RadioShack rumor confirmed.
 
I was wondering this. I can't get my pre ordered evo till the 2nd batch comes in at my best buy. Suppose to be next friday. I live in metairie new orleans area though. Have wimax built in on my laptop and scanned just to see if somehow I hit the jackpot. No luck. Sighhhh. 3g works really good for me here though so I'll be happy next friday!

I'll keep 4G on when I'm at east end fest and canal days just to see whats going on around other areas. The spot where im currently getting coverage is in Webster.

There was definitely an article somewhere about stores installing 4g boxes so I assume you will find spots of coverage in non-4g cities as well. ...I should swing by my RS and check as I am only covered at work.

This is probably true for some areas but I'm in my living room about 7 miles from the closest RS (even farther from closest sprint store) so my coverage is definitely native.
