Can anyone explain what the advantages of this will be, when the upgrade is released?

Basically RevA allows for faster upload/download speeds. The advantage is faster network performance.

RevA is active on the network, the 6800 (dont know about other models) handset is expecting a firmware upgrade Q1 2008 to enable both RevA and AGPS

Taken from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optimized

There have been several revisions of the standard, named alphabetically starting with the first as Rev. A ("revision A") while the first standard is referred to simply as Rev. 0.

The EV-DO feature of CDMA2000 networks provides access to mobile devices with air interface speeds of up to 2.4 Mbit/s with Rev. 0 and up to 3.1 Mbit/s with Rev. A.

To add to the conversation, a friend of mine has the pre-release RevA load working on the Sprint Mogul and reporting good network up and down speeds.

Also, they said navigation was working.

I was talkin with a sprint sales rep and they told me there was a plan i can get and pay the same i pay now for unlimited texts and and ulimited data, but this one would have navigation too, I think when and if the nabvigation feature on the Titan is enabled we would need to upgrade to a plan for it.

Revision A will for sure. I see no reason why navigation wouldn't either.

as for packages, vision has three main tears (sp). first is the one for 15 bucks a month. Unlimited picture, internet, access to sprint music, and gps acces for 3 bucks on the day you use it for the whole day of access. next tear(sp) is 20 bucks a month and gives everything the first tear does but gives you unlimited gps. the third tear(sp) is 25 bucks a month and gives everything the second tear does but also gives unlimited sprint tv and radio.
I work for a company that sells Sprint as a vendor
