So of course I checked the site and nothing. Then I called sprint asking on how to get on. And of course no one knew what I was talking about. After 3 phone calls talking to 7 ppl, finally found someone that didn't think I was crazy. They kindly transferred me to account services (for the third time) and they said they will do a swap.
The new unit actually isn't available until 2011 and will only be offered to current users that inquire about it and to people that threaten to terminate. So if you don't have one, threaten to cancel I suppose. And the new unit has no fees at all attached to it like the original piece. Where there is a will there is a way and I will be enjoying mine when I get it on Friday.
Good luck!

The way OP made it sound, the only way to get an Airave2 was to already have had an Airave. Mine came in the mail today. When I saw Airvana on the box, I nearly shat myself. I just managed to get a gps lock by relocating the gps antenna underneath the bottom sill of my front door. Now if the damn mobile light would stop blinking and initialize already, I'd be set. How long is the mobile light supposed to flash?

Supervisor told me it wasn't available til 2011 and there are only 2 ways to get it early, either cancel or have one already. Or else you get the Samsung unit. Just passed on what I was told from Sprint.

Your wrong. The airave never had the hardware (until now of course) to boost data. My 3g icon is always on too but it doesn't mean I have 3g. 40k is slow as hell and doesnt count as 3g. Call Samsung and ask them. They will even tell you it doesn't

I guess I'm proof that its already out. Also, my mobile light quit blinking and is now solid green. I'm totally up and running. Speeds aren't that great, but they're way better than they were. Also, this is the first time I've ever seen 5 bars on my phone at my house.

Well I just got my Evo a few days ago...took it home....and my signal sucked....per being connected to my Airave. Called up Sprint..got transfered to the Airave department and found out there is a connection bug with the Evo and the Airave. The rep transfered me to retention and without any hesitation or rebuddle...I will have the new Airvana (3G) sometime next week. I was told the retention department is the only department right now that has the device. You will not be able to go into a store and purchase one as of yet, probably early 2011 or later this year. Basically you have to return your old Airave and activate your new one when you recieve it. I'm hoping this fixes the connection issues with the Evo. I guess it's something to do with HTC's software on the phone.
