With that being said, just browsing the web is not going to show you much of a difference from Rev. O. Applications such as web camming and such will benefit from the increased upload speeds.

Your phone will not tell you that you're using EVDO Rev. A. You will need to do a speed test either from your phone, or using a phone as a modem, and then doing a speed test on your notebook/desktop. ANy upload speeds around the 200-500 ballpark will be Rev. A.

ALso, you will not see this improvement if Sprint has not deployed Rev. A in your market.

Didnt mean to be an a-hole, its just this question has been asked and answered a bunch of times..anyways hope this helps
thanks for the excellent summary. Is there a way to determine if Rev. A has been employed in my area? Portland, Oregon?
