Official 4G/WiMAX Coverage Areas

I'm suspecting 4G will land sometime in the summer for LA/OC. Hopefully, southern OC will be covered too. I completely agree with you about Anaheim 4G coverage. I'd hate for people to have to wait in line for space mountain with only 3G coverage. (or Knott's for that matter) It just wouldn't be right :)

Sorry to ruin your expectations, but Sprint states that south O.C. is not slated for coverage in 2010. Maybe that will change, but this is what Sprint said in this article:

Sprint takes lead to get 4G wireless Internet to O.C. - The Gadgetress : The Orange County Register

I'm near Culver and the 5 freeway...have 4g turned on right now but not getting anything. Would make sense 4g has a signal around Culver/Barranca since there's a Sprint store right there. I'll have to see if I can connect on my way to work tomorrow morning since I drive down Culver and go past Barranca...but good to hear people starting to get signal in OC!!

Ha, ha. That would be humorous if Sprint placed 4G dependent on locations of the Sprint store.

Actually, you might not be TOO far off. I imagine the reason Irvine is included in the LA market roll out is because the Western regional headquarters for Sprint is in Irvine, between Jamboree and Culver at the 5.

there is an app in the market called map viewer, it will show you where 4G has been detected (no connection available yet in the Orlando area) I have driven from Altamonte Springs to Florida Mall and from Florida Mall to Winter Park getting 4G notifications yet I have not been able to connect to any. In the UCF side of town I get the same, just the notificatin not a connection.

Installing now.

I am in Long Beach and when I turn 4G on, it logs into the sprint network, and obtain the ip. But after that it lasts for only like 15 seconds and it disappears.

That's how it was in torrance awhile ago, but in recent weeks, I'm able to maintain a "poor" signal and remain connected. I'm thinking you will be able to start connecting in a couple weeks.
