They will never screw the people who stick with them to the point where their phone will be unusable. Backwards compatibility is an industry standard.

I understand the costs of getting new customers, but I don't think Sprint does. I was just wondering if a 4g tower would enable 3g for its area as well, or just force us to upgrade to new phones to get 4g. The reason I asked was the Wal-Mart 4g tower rumor - my area doesn't have a 3g tower but we do have a Wal-Mart.
