It just baffles me that they would not have these 2 great features working right out of the box. Were they just in a rush to release this phone? Did they feel compelled to release this phone in order to attract new customers without having good features ready? To me it seems like they rushed to get a jump on the market. I feel bad for the consumers out there that have no clue about upgrading their phone, flashing, etc.

That's a very legitimate question. From the info I've gathered, EVDO Rev A support has nothing to do with Sprint or HTC.... it's Microsoft's fault. In other words, Sprint's infrastructure is capable of Rev A, HTC's hardware (the Titan) is capable, but WM6 does not support Rev A yet. That's why the rumors abound that Rev A will be ready around Q1 2008 because that is also the rumored time period that Microsoft themselves will release a service pack or new revision of WM6.
So as bad as Sprint is, this one might not be their fault. But everything else is, lol.
