I'm wondering if thats because Sprint's version supports all 3 LTE bands. The different hardware may have caused the delay.

Like 12 people have Sprint LTE. That shouldn't be the reason for the delay.

It's looking like end of October/early November release.
I keep reading that Sprint customers get the 50 dollar LG window case with it, at least. Not bad!

Will photon receive it?

A lot of speculation about it.. Supposedly third quarter of 2012 according to offical releases. Assuming you mean official release, if not we already have CM9/MIUI/AOKP all ICS based roms. Here is some reading for you about it

Hello,
While some do not believe it will see the light of day due to the Photon being EOL, I truly believe we will see the Update as it has been announced. I am honestly more concerned about whether or not Sprint is going to release a Motorola LTE Android Handset. While I can upgrade as of next Month (last Sprint Premier Annual Upgrade), I am planning on waiting it out until an ideally Motorola Quad Core LTE Handset is released. If not that, I will sadly get the iPhone 5, but I really do not want it to come to that. Definitely not getting the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Cheers,
JJ

Sprint Premier customers who would've become eligible this year have one more upgrade even though the program is gone. Expires at the end of the year IIRC.

This site has zero to do with showing when LTE/NetworkVision is coming btw....this site shows when they are planned to come by to add an additional bundled T1 line to the site for whatever capacity issues need it the most voice or data....
Really wpuldnt pay attention to this much at all to be honest...

I mean you might see some improvement from those little upgrades but it will be nothing like what NetworkVision upgrades are bringing...B/c they have so many of the sites labeled for the bundled upgrade before NV its tough to distinguish the two....and thats IF they started listing some of the things involved with NV on that site...which has not been the case thus far at all...
I've been checking this site since I got my Photon back in October, it's said I have had speed updates at the towers in my city in the coming 6 months, for the past 9 months.
Only thing it says that has occured was a voice capacity upgrade on a tower that I would guess is rarely even used, it's down a pretty rural stretch of road and there are other closer towers to the more populated areas, unless it was just unusable, not sure why they even bothered with that one.
Id be willing to let Sprint install a Tower at my house, if it meant I would get LTE before 20never lol. I hate Verizon but atleast they have LTE here

You and me both.
I called sprint to complain about network issues and was told that they are upgrading the towers. He said it should be done on Oct 17th. So I guess that confirms it for me

They probably lied to you.
What network issues? The network has been behaving itself as of late. Then again I'm over by 30 Rock so we get decent connectivity/bandwidth.

Sometimes companies tell you what you want to hear to silence you. Are they working on towers? Yes. Will it roll out in October for NYC? Probably not.
Just like my ISP telling me I'm having slow speeds because of a "regional Internet problem" with THE internet. Yeah right. -_-

And where do you think 30 Rock is? Smack dab in the middle of Manhattan.
FYI.. Yesterday while having my lunch outside enjoying the not so nice humidity I noticed the 4G icon pop up a couple times briefly. Looks like things should be lighting up soon.

Yup. Though with the WIMAX rollout certain sections of Jersey got it first. Go figure. To the gentleman from Boston. This is a NYC thread we really don't care about Boston (unless the Red Sox lose a game).

DFW
With the launch of LTE, DFW was on the list of having LTE. Phone never connected to LTE. After serveral phone calls, I was told the same thing, that the networks where being upgraded and scheduled to be completed in December. I see LTE every now and then now, but not long enough to get any use out of it. Speed Test showed it to be slower than 3G when I was able to connect. I got credit for 4 months (AUG -NOV) until LTE is fully up and running.

how do you know that it will be live in 2 weeks?
If Sprint gave you an exact date, and especially from a representative over the phone, they're definitely lying to you.
While I seriously doubt that's the date, I sure hope it is. I am sick of slower than dialup speeds on 3G and constant weak signal.
NYC and several other major cities have been announced to go live within the next several months, which means NYC can get it earlier than scheduled.....Finally able to use phone to the fullest
Has anyone in the NYC area gotten LTE signals yet? Wonder if they will test it before going live.

K. I'm not ready for a new carrier just yet.. I use roam control strictly for voice since here at my house I get really crappy service. Roaming allows me to make calls even in my basement. (as opposed to having to have my phone next to a window to get service)
If you are stateside you may qualify for a free airave. Must call Sprint and complain about poor service. Oh and have decent broadband connection.

I've been on sprint since 1997. So i'll call and see if that's an option. They better offer me that seeing as I've had at least 3 lines with them for over 7 years now.

I went to the sprint store following a month using roam control. Played nice saying I get extremely bad service at my house (in all honesty I do). I walked out of the store with an airwave unit. Now I get 5 bars in the house. Download is 2.5MB upload 1.0MB.

Softbank Wants A $23 Billion Loan To Buy 70% Of Sprint

The transaction is expected to close in mid-2013, subject to a meeting of Sprint shareholders, and the usual FCC and antitrust approval, as well as SoftBank's ability to secure financing. In the event that it can't raise the necessary cash or if Sprint gets a better offer, the Japanese carrier will have to cough up $600 million in termination fees. Likewise, Sprint will have to pay $75 million if its shareholders don't approve the transaction.

The only HTC phone available on their site is the Incredible 4G and its for pre-owned only.
In store they have nothing.

And to celebrate, a day later Verizon Wireless forced HTC to take the bootloader unlock down from htc.dev site.
Yea looks like Verizon certainly has a firm grip around HTC and Samsung's balls. Both flagship devices are now locked down with the latest softwares.
And with VZW locking down the bootloader on the One, it is now time that VZW and I break up.
