Sprint has an obligation to provide quality service as written in thier own contract. Right now it sounds as though that isn't happening and so they should do everything n their power to provide that quality service.
If I were to request a free Airwave, then I would be cheating the system because I am getting good reception, but for someone that isn't, they should be helped in anyway possible.

In principle you are correct, however in practice, there is no other provider where I can get the level of service I get away from my house (excellent 3G coverage, good speeds) and at the price I pay ($30/month). So it's another one of those cases where I put up with their **** because there is something in it for me. I'd rather buy an airave and pay the $5/month. And if you look at the amount of money I save compared to how much I'd pay AT&T or Verizon for the equivalent of my plan, I'd make up the difference within a few months.

Yes, it does. And no, it does not work with EVDO (possibly in the future though?)
