EVDO Rev. A
 

Can anyone explain what the advantages of this will be, when the upgrade is released?

Basically RevA allows for faster upload/download speeds. The advantage is faster network performance.

RevA is active on the network, the 6800 (dont know about other models) handset is expecting a firmware upgrade Q1 2008 to enable both RevA and AGPS

Taken from wikipedia:

There have been several revisions of the standard, named alphabetically starting with the first as Rev. A ("revision A") while the first standard is referred to simply as Rev. 0.

The EV-DO feature of CDMA2000 networks provides access to mobile devices with air interface speeds of up to 2.4 Mbit/s with Rev. 0 and up to 3.1 Mbit/s with Rev. A.

To add to the conversation, a friend of mine has the pre-release RevA load working on the Sprint Mogul and reporting good network up and down speeds.

Also, they said navigation was working.

Would your friend care to share?

I was talkin with a sprint sales rep and they told me there was a plan i can get and pay the same i pay now for unlimited texts and and ulimited data, but this one would have navigation too, I think when and if the nabvigation feature on the Titan is enabled we would need to upgrade to a plan for it.

this rev-a and navigation will also be release for the touch?

Humm......

Revision A will for sure. I see no reason why navigation wouldn't either.

not sure about the touch, as i am not 100% sure it has the hardware for the rev a. this of course is just speculation on my part.

as for packages, vision has three main tears (sp). first is the one for 15 bucks a month. Unlimited picture, internet, access to sprint music, and gps acces for 3 bucks on the day you use it for the whole day of access. next tear(sp) is 20 bucks a month and gives everything the first tear does but gives you unlimited gps. the third tear(sp) is 25 bucks a month and gives everything the second tear does but also gives unlimited sprint tv and radio.
I work for a company that sells Sprint as a vendor
