Contemplating an EP 4G, is Sprint's data speed really that bad?

I know coverage varies greatly area to area but I've been reading some really discouraging things about Sprint's 3G lately. This is a little shocking because I thought their speeds were supposed to be excellent.

Have those of you using the EP Touch (A phone I'm drooling over) found 3G to be bad?

Take the plunge and see... but worth it if u ask me : )

Awesome device and my coverage is just so-so (approx 1.25 - 2.0 mbps on any given day, but here's the rationalization i used to help me decide:

Unlimited data
Call quality is most excellent of all carriers i've used
This version best of the lot in my opinion
Coverage should only improve
I'm not on 3G signal all the time, i use wi-fi mostly
Picture viewing and apps and videos are mostly what i do with the phone
On board notification light & 4.52 inch screen is GREAT : )
You get 3 days to try it, after that 35.00 restocking fee applies up to the 14 day mark... Try it & see for yourself : )
