anyone care about 4G?

I've used WiMax maybe a dozen times total in the two years I've had the OG EVO and EVO3D. I'll be interested to see if LTE provides better coverage and service, but usable 3G and WiFi are what I rely on.

Its funny...This is he reason why I just left Sprint for the HTC One X on ATT. Both Verizon and ATT have great 3G coverage and Verizon even has LTE where I live now.

Now on ATT I am getting 5-6meg down on avg. With my old Evo 3D I only get .4-.5meg down. Plus over the years Sprint has become more and more expensive. So for an extra $10 a month I get much better data speeds, No longer needing to roam (Better battery life!) and a nicer looking phone.

So it is true that the Evo LTE MIGHT be held back by the network. Not to take the devices thunder! Its still an awesome phone. But I can not say that I miss Sprint all that much. If your area gets bad speeds then I would move on to a new carrier! Not having good signal can kill off the fun of any device IMO. On the other hand if you live in a LTE/Good 3G area...Then your lucky and enjoy your cheaper plan! I know that part I will miss!

That's a very poor analogy. A phone is still perfectly functional without 4G (be it WiMax or LTE).

As is an HDTV without HD content, but that wasn't my point.

Geez! Haha first off I will tell you to stfu if you're being rude straight off the gate. Secondly, I'm a very huge fan of sprint and HTC phones. Anyhow, I simply wanted to see if others share my thoughts, I searched for threads alike this one and didn't find any obvious ones.

And to me speed is a big factor. But I prefer sprint over Verizon bc I like the way sprint treats me. (I had Verizon for three years). And the wimax speeds here is sufficient for me so I don't need Verizon.
