sprint really is pretty good with their service. i still use release 0 EVDO, and sprint has less restrictions than another certain CDMA company, for less money, and just as good, if not better, service. and I hear sprint trounces everyone in the Rev. A game, so it would be really dumb of apple to not release something with sprint's EVDO tied into it (maybe the 3G iPhone will go CDMA on us, or an MBP with an ath 64 and built in power vision, ooh la la.).

My company uses Sprint's EV-DO service to process credit card transactions from our booth at trade shows. Although we've been in a few places that didn't have EV-DO coverage (and had to resort to 1xRTT) we're usually the only vendor with the capability at all! We will put the card in one laptop and share the connection (WinXP) over wi-fi with 3 other laptops. Works better than you'd think!

I'm looking at getting a PPC-6700 from Sprint. I was considering getting the same phone from Verizon but if Sprint worked that great for you guys then I'm in.

The EVDO network is amazing, and is the first cellular data network that is faster than Richochet's network before they shut down in the dot com crash. In fact, it is so impressive that it is a bit surprising that Apple would pick Cingular and their craptastic data network for their Jesus Phone. Oh well.

I've got Sprint EVDO Rev. 0 on my smartphone, and it's friggin' awesome. You can't go back once you've started using it hard-core, and I would assume this is similarly true of competing technologies like HSDPA. I'm not sure whether I need the speed of Rev. A (I don't tether, generally), but I like the idea of it being available. Speaking of which, EVDO has been present in 95% of the places I've been lately - the coverage is really fantastic.

Then again, I know they're going to start doing trials of WiMax here in DC. I should try to get in on THAT!

I'm glad you're loving your Rev. A service. Some of use poor bastards are still waiting for Rev. 0.

I've really liked my EvDO Rev. A. It's awesome. I'm out in SB, and I get a better connection to my phone than to my house with Cox's crappy cable service.

The Novatel U720 & Sprint's Rev. A service is definitely top notch. At one point I continued telling myself that an ExpressCard solution would be exactly what I needed, a USB version allows you to use the card wherever you go with any computer. I usually pass mine between the MacBook Pro, the iBook, and the Mac Pro. A lifesaver whenever while on the road or whenever the Comcraptasstic goes down.
