i already got the Photon to use so it dosent matter for me since im going to buy No-contract phone and the best one out on sprint by late summer to mid fall (no iPhone)

they will be slower but by 10-40% depending on where u live.
thats why they seperately are asking FCC to hold auction bolocking out VZ and ATT so they can widen the channel they plan to open

I know the Spring Samsung Galaxy S II does not work on a global network, but the HTC phones do. This phone is intriguing to me, however I have not been happy with my Samsung Epic 4G and would rather not stay with Samsung if possible.

That means indoors, Verizon’s network will have a stronger signal; all things being equal. The lower the frequency, the better it can get through walls and such. Just an FYI for you….

Just having 3G EVD0 is better then 4G WiMax–seeing that I currently have the EVO 3D, and I don’t get very good 4G where I live and it’s slow and Spotty, I am ready to give Sprint another chance–This is a very exciting time to be a cell phone shopper, and google wallet is another selling point that I think will really help both Sprint and Samsung gain a lot of customers; me for one am excited for it’s release, and will be upgrading from my EVO 3D once it is available for sale.
