Curious how many ppl got the TB without 4G in your area and why? I have STRONG 4G so yea.
Jeez papi I didn't even get the poll up before you replied lol. Calm down
I do bc I know that when I travel it will pick up 4GLTE and this thing is faster then any phone I have had. Dx d2g fascinate incredible and droid are turtles compared to this

I don't and I bought mine mainly to be future proof. At least for the near future...
I am an hour west of Cleveland, OH which has 4G. By the end of this year Toledo, OH, which I am an hour east of will also have 4G. The Verizon rep, when I bought my phone, said that 4G should hopefully be here by the time Cedar Point opens to help with the excessive amount of strain that the tourist put on their exhisting 3G network. So, let hope that good 'ol Sandusky gets some 4G.
I don't have 4G. But I go to an area that does quite a bit. Hopefully we'll all be grandfathered in for unlimited data. And this phone is a beast!

I live in Indianapolis, we don't have 4G yet, but will by the end of the year (in preparation for next year's Super Bowl I assume).
I'm just outside Albany, NY and we are on the list for the 2011 4G rollout. As of now, I'm sitting on full 3G everywhere I go.
No 4G here but I was told we would be getting it around August, though not from a real great source. A friend of mine sent me a pic today of his showing that it was working, but only for a short time... must be testing or something. I'm in Sioux Falls, SD. At least I'm grandparented into my plan for when it does come. I love this phone, though, coming from the droid x.
I picked up the Thunderbolt mainly because its the most bad ass phone in my eyes. I'm in Reno NV, currently no 4G but there's rumors floating around that next year possibly. IMO though, my guess would be in 2013.
4g is probably a year from where I live in central california, but if your going to upgrade, mine as well get the latest and the greatest.

Ah cool, I live in Sioux Falls, SD too. I watch my phone like a hawk and haven't seen 4g lte pop on yet. God I hope they enable this soon! A verizon store moron did tell me 4g is coming for us in June but I would take that with a truckload of salt.
Supposed to get 4g in Grand Rapids by the end of the year
probably not gonna have 4g for another year at least
Closest 4G is in Rochester with no plans of bringing it to my area. However the phone is a beast. That, along with being grandfathered into the unlimited data was totally worth the purchase.
Even if the phone didn't have LTE I still would really enjoy it, and since it's not in my area, it's just a bonus that I'll hopefully soon be able to enjoy.
No 4G in Central Louisiana till possibly end of summer, but I bought the phone b/c of the speed and capabilities not b/c of the network, but that will be a nice bonus when it comes out.
I am in the middle of nowhere, and it could easily be 2014 before LTE hits. I was Jonesing for new hardware but couldn't stomach the idea of a Motorola dual-core. I saw that this was going to be MUCH faster than my old Eris (running CM7 ) and I saw that team AndIRC was gonna crack this thing like an egg. So I got this on a 1 year plan. Next spring I can hopefully get some serious hackable multi-core hardware. I figure the Bolt should also retain a lot of value to help finance it's replacement...
Bought and use in a 3g only area, but my home area has 4g so I get to use it once a month when I go home. I haven't been home yet to try 4g, but I will be able to next week.
Other than some odd behavior, I think this phone is better than my incredible.

My market was added to the recent list so hopefully summertime or a little later but I look forward to 4G, or I hope to anyways. If the distances the signal reaches I keep reading about I am optimistic it will hit my house. If not then 4G is more meh than yeh.
No 4g in my area, but I wasn't gonna get the x when this is available......plus I'm covered when 4g does come around.

hello,
i have been so fed up with sprint lately and their worthless 4G and 3G which consistently gets me about 300kbps (not a typo) down on a good day.
sprint customer service is useless at all levels, and the people in their stores are no better. posting this from my evo since im using the thunderbolt sparingly until i get a case for it.
my initial LTE speedtest shows 6,000kbps down and 20,000kbps up with a ping of 120ms. sure, it'll become saturated eventually, but i look forward to being a Verizon customer.
i had been under the impression verizon was expensive, but it was cheaper than i thought, only $80 plus tax and fees with 450 minutes, 500 texts, and unlimited data.

Have the EVO & TB right now. Trying to decide if I want to keep the TB or not..... Loving the Verizon coverage(so much better than Sprint in Central, Ohio) and LTE is much stronger and wide spread in Central Ohio.
Me too. Been with Sprint for over 10 years and had the Evo since launch day. Love Sprint and the Evo, and plan to keep them both. I thought I'd dip my toe in the Verizon pool (I'm eventually going to have to get my wife an iPhone since she has not taken to the Evo like I'd hoped she would. Foolish woman.) and the TB seemed like a good way to do it. It's a pretty sweet device. LTE puts Wimax to shame... Can't wait to get it rooted.
Finally! And 2 days ahead of the reported date! Just in time for the Razr and Galaxy Nexus! Not to mention I have been eligible for upgrade since last week
What does this mean, and why I am stating this in the DX2 forums? Because I intend to sell my phone (as I posted before) to a deserving dev. I have a few who hit me up in my inbox already. So now it comes down to actual release dates. The moment either phone goes on pre-order I will be buying it. So to the dev's who hit me up in regards to this device, 2 questions:
1. Do you want me to send the phone in for warranty (it has some nicks and scratches around the screen), or do you want it as is? Won't make a price difference either way.
2. Do you want to make a first come first serve deposit for the phone? I am going to put a $100 price tag on it.

Kinda makes me mad. I was under the impression that 4G in our area (SB) was not at least until next year. That's why I bought the X2 instead of a 4G phone. I read an article on Broadband Reports that we were indeed getting 4G in October. Sucks now that none of our lines are eligible for an update until late 2012!

Yea, according to what I read, it is their single biggest launch area to date. Notre Dame has had it since the start of the football season. Supposedly the tower was only supposed to be on during the game, but people as far as 20 miles away on any given day have periodically gotten the connection on their devices. It is supposed to cover South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, Osceola, Roseland, Elkhart, Goshen, Dunlap(so I am assuming Niles, Edwardsburg, etc across the state line will get some of the bleed off).

SOUTH BEND, IN — T.J. Fox, Verizon Wireless region president, today announced that the company is launching the world’s first large-scale 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network in South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, Elkhart, and Goshen on October 20.

Well, hate to be the bearer of bad news... lol, but it looks like they are 3-4 months ahead of schedule on their rollouts. Which, to their credit is good considering tech companies are typically late.

It says they will be ready by 2014, but with no specific rollout dates for my area, Michigan, I will be switching to Verizon in the next few months, once they get a nest gen phone like the One X or something similar. Verizon has had working 4g for over a year in my area now. There's no way I'm waiting another 2 years to get it here, and have dial-up speed 3g in the meantime. I gave Sprint 12 years of my business, and I hate to leave, but in today's world data is everything, and I need that to be able to do my job.

The sad parts:
- I live ON the water across river is Canada industrial district. I'm on there towers ALOT. Out here everyone roams there cause they push out more then us. Only affects sprint customers though.
- There is a working 4g WIIMAX tower about a mile down the road, that only pushes out to about 4 blocks.

You read the title correctly, it was leaked by tmonews and androidcentral a few hours ago. The question is would you switch to Tmobile for 4G HSPA+ data speeds with not cap or overages, I have to admit that im seriously thinking about it.

No go for me because T-Mobile is the only cellular company that does not offer a corporate discount with my job. So blah. Unless it would end up being cheaper, but I doubt it. Also we still don't know enough. Is it truly unlimited or does it get throttled?

I'm seriously considering switching in Cincinnati...service is so bad I can't stream any music at work and it took me almost 5 min to be able to post this reply due to my 20kbps download speed.
I know its a little more considering I would need two lines but if I actually have WORKING DATA instead of paying for absolute garbage its worth something.
Listen up Sprint this is coming from a 10+ year customer...get your act together.
Yeah this news really got my wheels turning. Truly unlimited data, blazing fast speeds & looks to be cheaper. Only reason why I've stayed with Sprint this long was because of the data & they used to get the best phones but now their phone lineup isn't as strong & their speeds absolutely suck. I know people in Cricket & MetroPCS who have wayyyyy faster speeds at half the cost. With phones almost as good as the LTE. This may be a game changer for me.
Sent from my EVO using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
I wouldn't really consider this 'COMPETITION.' Instead, more of a rescue mission to save what's left of that terrible network.
Ok the data is unlimited... So they say... But what about everything else? Sprint offers unlimited everything for 79.99 (who calls land lines anymore and needs more than 450 minutes... Really?)
Shifted from Outer Space
Sprint fan aside, maybe, if T-Mobile had better voice in the downtown area. I would like the option of having an unlocked phone + unlimited data.
My service with Sprint has been pretty consistent & LTE work has started in my city so we should go live in November/December. Plus everything is unlimited, sans calling the office & grandma.
I've been with sprint since 98. That being said I would switch if I wasn't in contract. Sprint has had me waiting 3 years for "4G". Bought my EVO with promises of 4G in San Diego which never came true. Add the abismal 3G speeds that are slower than they where 4-5 years ago when I had my HTC Windows mobile phone. The only big thing stopping me from switching is the fact that I get a huge discount from Sprint through my employer (which isn't that big anymore since they only apply the discount on my primary line and not my wife's or my sister). That and my wife loves her Iphone which Tmobile doesn't have. Oh well...here's to hoping this vision thing works out.
I would switch if I wasn't on contract. It would be a tough decision between the one s and the s3. I love HTC but I need me a huge screen!

I've had the original Evo4G for 2 years and 4 months now. It has always been rooted and performs flawlessly and does everything I ask of it. When I saw the EvoLTE was coming out I really wanted one and I was/am eligible for an upgrade. I decided to wait a few months for the kinks to get worked out of the phone before getting one. Sprint offers the LTE for $99 presently and I'm tempted to grab one.
In the last few months I haven't been reading the EvoLTE forum but started reading everything a couple of days ago. I don't have a problem with the people who are critical of the LTE and are leaving it for a Samsung. The Evo4G is the best phone I've ever had and is the first HTC phone I've owned. As I said, it does everything I ask of it, is reliable, and I know everything about it.
My question to those who like their LTE's is this: Should I upgrade to the LTE?
I'm not willing to spend what it costs now for a Sprint SamsungSIII, $199-249 and have no idea if I'd like the phone if I did. I am concerned about owners here who tell of the LTE's Sense not working properly, of data problems, rebooting etc. I've never had 4G in my area and Sprint doesn't even have my area in AZ on the list of upcoming LTE service. I've paid that damn $10 monthly charge for 3G only which annoys me since I own a 4G phone that Sprint doesn't supply 4G service for. I can deal with continuing to pay the $10 for no 4g or LTE but I don't want to get rid of a phone that stays connected always, has a good download speed locally on 3g, and always works, for an EvoLTE that doesn't always work and continues to have problems.
So I guess I'm asking for encouragement to upgrade to the LTE. I'm not going to leave Sprint, the true unlimited Data is the most important feature they offer and I need the several Gigs of data each month that I continue to use. What do you owners have to say?
Thanks~
Get the EVOLTE My dad has an og Evo that I rooted and played with and the difference is just amazing. We compared side by side the stock roms and its night and day. Data speeds were better, apps launched much quicker, the camera took pictures faster and higher quality, and the list just goes on.
Don't listen to the naysayers on here, the new evo is awesome. There have been some LTE issues for some but I'm in the same boat as you with no LTE in the foreseeable future in my area.

I also had the original for over 2 years and it IS an awesome phone. That said, if you are in a good signal area, the lte will run circles around it. Very comfortable to use and fast. I'm on MeanRom with mine, rooted and s-off. 3g signal reception is a full 2 bars down from OG and like you, I'm not gonna get 4g anytime soon. If you never roam in areas where signal is down to 1 or 2 bars you'll do fine. If you go into areas like that and making calls or receiving data is important I would wait a while. Personally,I hunt in remote areas a lot. If I'm going for more than a day,I just switch back to the OG for the trip and switch back when home. Good luck with your choice......

I would definitely say upgrade to the LTE. It's far better than the previous EVOs in every way, as others have mentioned. I'm one of those who will probably be switching to the GS3, but it's more for the experience of trying something different than what I'm used to over the last three years.
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'm really leaning towards trying the LTE. My home is in a rural area outside the city and I have excellent 3G coverage. If I can have the same result with the LTE, root it, be able to operate on wireless, and have the "Hot Spot" as I do now on the OG 4G I'll be very happy indeed.

I went to the Sprint website and looked at the Optimus. It looks sweet, my phone before the Evo4G was the LG Lotus. It was a great phone for it's era and never gave me any problems. I don't want to spend $199 for a phone at this time, the $99 for the LTE is in my price range.
Thanks for the suggestion, let us know how you like the Optimus if you get it.

I placed the order using your link. It went through as I am a long time customer. The only odd thing was after placing the order it gave me a confirmation number which I used to check on "my order". The page that came up said, "This order must be manually processed" so I'm not sure what that means.
Do you know if anyone using that link has received their phone yet? People were placing orders around 10 days ago, they should have received their phones by now. Another person on the other forum wrote that he got the "Order must be processed manually" also, he hasn't posted again saying if his phone was shipped and was delivered.

On the Private Store page it didn't say anything about Black Friday or it being Cyber Monday or anything special. I messed up because the discounts they give you end up with a $49 credit you can spend as you make the order. I didn't notice this until after making my order and then went back to read other posts on the other forum and a few people talked about using the $49 credit to order accessories. :laugh:
Oh well, if I get the phone for almost nothing I'll get over not spending the credit.

The manual thing is common for the Sprint private store. I got the evo on white for my wife it took like 4 days after the order was placed. I think it took a while because I ordered on Saturday night. She loves it. I score big points thanks to that website. She thinks I bought it at 200 bucks. I (it was free) just don't tell her.

Don't get the EVO LTE over the GS3. If and when you get LTE in your area, you will regret it.
Stick with the OG. Coworker is doing it and does just fine. Getting the ELTE is really just about ICS improvements and to be honest, there isn't that much if you happen to use custom ROMs on the OG. Plus, he gets WiMax where I'm stuck on 3G LOL (depends on your service area of course, but we have a WiMax tower across the street). I actually still use my OG at home with SWAG on it. Works great.
IF LTE is not going to be available before your next contract (2 years if you buy evo lte), then I would upgrade to the EVO LTE.
My main gripe is the LTE connection issues.... it's incredibly frustrating knowing there is 5-15 Mbit data speeds available... but to get them you really have to fight with the phone's software to access the LTE at times.

We never got 4G service in my area of Arizona. Sprint doesn't even list us on future areas for LTE service. Strange, we're a metropolitan area of over 1 million and never even got 4G. :crying:
It's safe to say there will not be LTE service in the next two years so the EvoLTE will be a good upgrade for me on 3G only.
thanks!
