From my understanding, spec wise those phones are basically the same. The AT&T Desire, Evo and Thunderbolt are all basically the same phone, but customized for each carrier (as just about all phones in the U.S. are).

Once you talk about the 4G though, it's a whole different game. It's sort of unfair as Verizon 4G is newer as they are started later. But it's also the name of the game. In think Sprint made a mistake with WiMAX and going too early and that with it they go away from all the other LTE networks in the U.S touted as 4G.

They'll have a tougher time getting certain phones because of this. Sprint has also been hitting quite a bit of road blocks for expanding their 4G network because the issue with Clear (which I hear is very close to bankruptcy).


To be honest, nothing beats Verizon for coverage at a Nationwide scale. I have a Sprint phone and a Verizon blackberry for work. Both at @ 3G. In my experience, Sprint's network vs. Verizon's kinda sucks.
