Re: Who's upgrading to the EVO 4G LTE?

Well didn't go to well this time. I'm not eligible until sometime in 2013 and they refused to let me upgrade early. They gave me an option to pay $165 for some buyback promotion but to do it I had to accept it today and pay the $165 on my next bill. That would bump my upgrade date to this month. They said if I didn't do it now they may not be able to accept it. I really didn't like the tone or way that they spoke to me and felt like they were kind of brushing me off. He stated how I could wait til my update or 2015 once they stop supporting Wimax and move everyone to LTE! The conversation didn't end well except me learning that its only $140 for me to cancel my contract and that price drops 10/month.

I may be blowing this out of proportion but I am at least going to consider leaving... 3G/4G suck where I live and most places I have been. They were on the upswing back when the OG Evo dropped, but since then it has deteriorated every year. But I've been hanging in hoping, waiting and believing it would improve for the last few years investing in Sprint's 4G endeavors. Has it improved? NO!!! Its the worst its ever been data speeds are unbearably slow! Today I wanted to throw my phone out of a window! The Evo 4G LTE (despite the lack of LTE in my area probably until 2013 lol) was glimmer of hope for improvement, something to keep me happy while I sit and wait for improvement, but now I'm so pissed I really am strongly considering leaving for better data pastures. I have been with Sprint a long time 99% of my cell phone-owning life, but idk man. I was ready to take the offer until they tried to sell me a crock of shit with an attitude. The biggest problem is I want the EVO, not an One X or a One S and based off leaked specs not even a GSIII, but Sprint may have just pushed me to a Magenta GSIII. I'm so sick of being locked to phones through carriers. I just want to get the phone I want on the carrier I want and I want to be able to leave said carrier WITH my phone when I want!!!!!!

... OK let me stop my rant I'm getting pissed again. I'm gonna let the situation breathe for a sec and call back one last time when there's more info on the release date smdh...
