I also called Sprint who said this capability has been available for a few months on the Sprint network. Does anyone know if this is true? I saw the press release on the cdma tech website that said this was coming soon dated Aug 17 2009 with EVDO Rev A and 1x on cdma network but found nothing else. Did sprint already get this upgrade with no big buzz about it? Or maybe this Spint user was just connected to a wi-fi network.

By then we'll all need new phones to handle other tech changes that will have happened. I wouldn't hold off on a smart phone now. Anyone can cover cities. The reason Verizon's network is superior is they cover the areas that matter: non-cities. Cities are disgusting places we are forced to go into at times. We need data coverage where life is worth living. #34 – It’ll be a couple of years before any 4G network is rolled out enough to matter.

Everyone makes mistakes. I mean, it is a little funny some of his blog entries that were mistaken ("Forever stamps" he was wrong, for instance). Show me someone who doesn't make mistakes and I'll show you someone who never does anything ;) Don’t knock Perkel, he did the honorable thing and updated his article with corrections.

It's a issue that a software update may resolve. AT&T is just grasping at straws to get back at Verizon because of the beating their taking from the Verizon 3G map adverts.

There is a lot to read about the new standards, and it has been a few weeks since I last researched the issues. Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G. Really, people should consider waiting for 4G before spending a lot if money on a new smartphone.
