ben, sorry about not seeing your email sooner... gmail is still confusing to me... :o) as far as sprint.. because they have a homogeneous 1900mhz net across country.. its much simpler for them to roll out evdo than verizon who basically patched together tons of smaller carriers in buyouts at 800/1900 or amps...
so... yeah... im not saying its easy to roll out the country... but verizon does have a tougher job of it. Dustin, funny thing is that i do the same thing.. . i always have my wifi card IN the computer... its that way at the office so... its that way when im on the road... and ONLY drop in evdo IF i dont have wifi... 2 reasons... 1) wifi is generally faster 2) evdo burns battery life faster :o) what do you guys think it'll take to get more people off wifi and on evdo?
