Not sure why but my EVO4G was rooted and i had tried every PRL fix, kernal fix known to man and i couldn't pull a speed higher than 800+ ping and 0.15mbps - 0.50 but i am happy to say on ET4G i haven't gotten less than a 150+ png and consistantly getting 1.25 - 1.75 mbps and i can TOTALLY live with that : ) Not going to root cuz i don't wanna jack nothing up.. When i was in the Sprint Stor buying my 2nd ET4G for my husband some guy was trying to exchange his for the same phone but he admitted to me he thinks the root method he tried jacked up his data signal permanently.
Personally i might stay away from root just becuz this phone is sooooo capable without it, we will see...lol
This phone surpasses ANY phone i have had (Photon, Bionic and G2X amongst them : )
