No Sprint 4G here although my phone supports it. I'm getting some spotty 4G service while visiting Miami. When it's available I'm getting 2Gb down as opposed to 400Kbit or (usually) less for 3G.

We have had 4G service from day one when the EVO 4G came out. Honestly I think it is not worth the hoop-la. When 4G is on the batter life is nothing. with a full charge I only get 4 hours with 4G on. Also the speed is fast but really what do you do on the phone that needs broadband speeds? not much. and when you do there is usually a wifi spot near by. The 4G is similar to wifi at my house but I maybe turn on the 4g once a month. not worth the extra $10 a month. ... I would love to have the EVO 4g without the 4g.

My phone doesn't support it, so I wouldn't know. I've heard rave reviews from some & others could care less. Guess it depends on what you need your phone for.
