Finishing the 2nd part of the root right now. Thanks. Quick unrelated question, whats the word on 4g? I saw your hometown by your avatar. I'm in Upland.
I have no idea when, but now I'm about to get on my soapbox...

I was in Vegas last weekend. IMHO - 4G has a long way to go. If I got a signal, it was weak at best. Every time it switched from 4G to 3G, whatever I was doing would hang for a while before it could figure out what was happening.

I checked it all over town, outside not in buildings. From my balcony I had a clear view from the South end of Vegas by Mandalay Bay all the way to the Stratosphere. Unobstructed views. And signal was still lousy. If I went inside to the bedroom, signal was gone. A couple of times I had 3bars on 4G and it still didn't stay connected long enough to do a speedtest. Speedtest on 4G got up to 2.5mb, but it normally timed out. Speedtest on 3G was always 1.2mb and up and very stable.

I was trying to watch the Worldcup matches a couple of times on the phone. I just turned off 4G so I could actually watch more than 10sec spurts. I love this phone, and I'm very happy w/ it, but after experiencing "4G" in what is supposed to be a good coverage area, I'm glad I didn't buy the phone just for that feature.

If that's 4G, Sprint can keep it. It was more frustrating than anything. Plus it drains the battery like I was trying to jump start a car.
