They've been saying July/August for the roll out for NYC but alas still no LTE.
Also been hearing Long Island should be blanketed with LTE. I really hope it's not like how it was with WIMAX and only have coverage in NYC/Queens and us Long Islanders get screwed.
I only had 4G when I was at work in the city which is garbage.
Anyone have any legit info?
Thanks
NYC should be getting it soon, the delay is probably QC. Long Island, NY is on a different schedule though. Hopefully you work in Manhattan lol or its going to be a sad trip home. Unless you have decent WiFi.

If I have to wait for LTE till Sept. 2013 all I have to say is bye bye Sprint and hello ATT. This is bullcrap. I dealt with this with the OG EVO and now with this.
I can officially say I will terminate my contract prematurely.
What the hell are we paying an extra $10 a month for?

Dude relax, that's when it's Finished 100%. You'll see it on & up long before then. It's not like you're out in Montauk.
You won't see any LTE in long island till 2013 summer. It will be spotty coverage till 2014

I am relaxed just fed up. Don't get me wrong Sprints customer service is the bomb I've had no issues in that department. But when we were promised 4G with the OG EVO we didn't receive it. We were paying $10 extra per month and it only made its way to NYC and queens. Now they are it and promise us LTE and we purchases out phones in May/June and for some of us we won't see it till Summer/Fall of 2013. I think that's kind of bull crap.

All smart phones pay that. Not just 4G ones. Sprint changed that 18 months ago.
Still cheaper. But hey the grass is always greener, right?

I feel the op's pain here on long island. Never having gotten any Wimax in a market as large as ours and being so close in proximity to nyc always poised me off too. Now with lte having to wait again sucks but what can you do? Wait it out or move on to another carrier. I'll wait it out. I'm happy with sprints service and pricing overall and when I'm home my Fios kicks ass for all my internet needs.

The price of an EVO 3D seems to be falling and can be found for £229 in the UK. This is significantly cheaper then the sensation. Maybe HTC are finding that it is not selling as much as expected?
Have there been similar cuts in other places?
Germany - Down to 269€ (from ~390€) since mid January, some places even sold it for 222€ at the end of January and beginning of February (got mine for that price, weee)
So, yeah ~£229(-£185) over here as well.
The pricing is really weird. The Desire S costs the same, the Desire HD and the Incredible S cost more (10% and 20%).

Lol they have them on sale at sprint for 100$ 2 year contract
I think what sprint is doing over here is throwing most phones down cheap since they are gonna roll out LTE phones in the very near future and quit using wimax ones lol...

This was pay as you go so not directly comparable to a contract as the handsets are often subsidised on contract. Most phones are free on contract here, but with larger monthly costs.

Ya over here sprint is finally catching up with all other carriers such as LTE which has been out for awhile now.... So they have been knockin the prices down over here.....
I don't really see much hype over it the LTE phones lol since sprint was so SLOW rolling 4G out to most areas lol... I still don't have 4G in my neck of the woods ....
Luckly you guys can get Evo 3D cheaper nowa days.

The LTE rollout will be much faster than the Wimax one which was handled mostly by clearwire anyway.
S4gru.com is a great site I suggest all sprint users check out as they have some real eye opening information and serious details about their network.
Just read a few articles on "the wall" there.

You Americans are lucky regarding 4G though, it hasn't even started to roll out here yet as the frequencies neede are not available.

Meant to quote not thank...but you're paying for "premium data". Everyone that has a smartphone is paying the extra $10. 4g isn't a factor anymore. Sprint realized that a long time ago

I also live in the boro, but get under 200 kbps. You guys are definitely lucky to get over 1 mb. The bad thing is when I go inside anywhere, the signal drops to 0 bars, and I get nada. Same goes for my wife's Evo 3D. I have not seen LTE at all in M'boro, or during my commute to work in Nashville at Grassmere park (behind the zoo). I am anxiously trying to patiently wait for LTE. If I can just get a data signal indoors, I don't care what speed it is.

I actually have an airave, and it works great. The problem is when I am in any building such as BestBuy or Wal-mart, and want to price match something. Or I am in a shoe store and want to find out if Amazon has it for cheaper. Just yesterday I was at Kohl's, and they told me that they had a coupon online. I of course could not get data on mine or my wife's phone, so I could not pull up the coupon. I cannot even begin to tell you how badly I want LTE. I just hope the indoor signal is better.

I live in the Boro and work in Green Hills. I get 2 megs plus in Green Hills. Got 2.3 the first day I got my LTE. That's definitely the fastest I've ever seen for 3g on Sprint or Verizon.
I can tell you that I spoke with a contractor that deployed LTE for att in Nashville and he said that his company was doing Sprint as well. He said that he expected to start work on Sprint towers in May-June.

If you live in the Boro and all you get is 200 k per sec then you either by freak bad luck live in a deadzone or something. Sad to say and don't get your hopes to high because LTE at GHz they broadcast at will not do any better. I'm afraid if you have a poor signal now? You will then also.

I sooooooo agree on the indoor signal! I get mad a lot and roam only on mean Rom and get 3g off Verizon. Guys I seriously would be shocked if LTE did either. It will be spotty at first.

does any one know when LTE in PALATINE will come live?
Largely depends on whether you're considered part of the "chicago" market which is supposed to be around september.
If you aren't part of that rollout.....Not anytime soon.
damn u have to be kidding me!! well i live like 20 mins from chicago. hope that the tower signal travel will travel far enought.
Well right now lte is about 10 miles or so west of palatine so it's just a matter of time. Now as far as Chicago getting lte I hate to say it but I don't think we might have lte this year . My office where I work has a sprint tower on it and a tech was out working on it and he was saying lte for Chicago might not happen this year with all the work they still have to do to the towers. I was also that Illinois already has 40% lte coverage so that's kind of good but could always be better
OP u say your from palatine well I am to so if u want to talk for some reason pm maybe we can get together sometime

Who did you hear that from? Sprint reps will tell you anything to leave happy.
Given that they haven't even officially announced there will be LTE for chicago, its probably not gonna be a few days from now
i cant wait till next year for LTE. darn sprint 3G Sucks! ive been waiting for this to long. those tower better go live this year. or else ill have to beat someone up hahah
If they're 40% done with Illinois, they could easily go live this month. Many of the first round LTE markets went live with much less than 40 percent complete. They won't be DONE with Chicago this year, but I'm sure they'll go live this year.

If you do this, are the ESNs on the phones marked as bad? I'm guessing they are... but curious. Sprint is giving me the biggest run around ever with constant poor service, dropped calls, slow data, etc... I'm in a metro area as well, it's ridiculous.

I'd go month to month and buy a phone off contract with Verizon . But I don't have faith in this network vision of theirs. Sure it's state of the art. But it's also Sprint and not one tower is complete yet in Florida according to S4GRU..But I'd come back if it's as good as they say it is. I have my doubts.

Guys are so thirsty for high speed data, but once they it get, they're realize the only true benefits are HD video streaming I'm glad with Sprints 3g in the North of Boston market I could pretty much do what I want to do with my phone besides streaming videos. And with Verizon's cap you're pretty much only guaranteed 3 movies per cap. No thanks I'm all set.
