Incredible owners bash EVO

I didnt see much hating of the EVO at all. Sounds like they were just expressing what they like about the phone/network they have. We will be doing the same thing when the EVO comes out


I will say that, in real-world testing, the Evo is getting about 2-3mbps for me. That's barely even faster than my friend's Droid gets on 3G ANYWHERE Verizon has a signal. 4G on the Evo isn't quite so spread out on the coverage map as a Verizon 3G signal...

But, in Sprint's defense, I have a rock-solid 3G signal all of the time, and almost get what the Droid gets usually.

The funny thing is...our Sprint phones roam on Verizon's network when Sprint doesn't get signal for no extra charge...do they not realize this? We get the best of both worlds

That's true, but from what I understand, when Sprint phones roam onto VZW's network, they're only able to utilize the 1X signal, and not the 3G signal, which is incredibly slow.

I'm pretty sure I've roamed with 3G before.

Interesting....does anyone else have any input on this? I currently have a Droid on VZW, and although I REALLY want to switch to Sprint for the EVO, I'm a little wary since I have no idea how Sprint's signal is here on Long Island. If I knew that Sprint got 3G everywhere VZW did, it would make my decision an easy one.

Sprint - Nationwide Coverage

I'm willing to bet Long Island is completely covered in 3G.

Edit: It definitely has full 3G coverage.
