I see people complaining about the lack of 4G and I must confess that at first blush I tend to agree with them. However, my wife has made the jump to the Epic and I'm less than impressed with 4G. When it comes to speed of downloading things on the phone, I really don't see much of a difference because of the latency with 4G turning itself on and off to conserve battery life. Even when you're tethering, I don't notice much of a difference unless you're streaming or doing BitTorrent...and 4G seems to really sap your battery much more so than 3G.
While I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a good thing that 7Pro doesn't have 4G, I don't think it's too big of a loss, especially if Sprint does what they said and doesn't charge you an extra $10 a month - they said the $10 is for 4G service, so I hope they don't renege and decide it's for any smartphone.
