Sprint Mogul getting EV-DO Rev. A on October 22nd?
The buzz is that Sprint’s Mogul will get a firmware upgrade on October 22nd which would finally allow the smartphone to take advantage of Sprint’s faster EV-DO Rev. A network. If When it happens, it’s probably not as momentous as it sounds since most of the Rev A. benefit is seen on the upload side of the house. I’d guess that a large majority of that 3G radio is used for downloading, but it’s still a nice benefit. I know James was seeing some pretty fast up and down speeds with Verizon’s EV-DO Rev. A, so it’s all good.
Folks are also clamoring for the upgrade to fix a Bluetooth issue with the Mogul, so cross your fingers for all the Sprint Mogul owners out there!

Some sources say Oct 22, some sources say Jan of 2008, some sources say it’s already available. I will believe it’s actually available when the download is complete. Now go back to whining about Vista.
