Well as most of us all I got my EVO today. Just got home and was playing with it. Well all of a sudden a message popped up and now I have 4g. I live in south St.Louis area. Any one out there have it but not supposed yet?

i believe st louis was on the list of next areas to get it during the summer, so it looks like it's up now for you guys.

Kansas City supposedly got 4G a couple days ago. Anybody comment on whereabouts they get signal? Especially around Johnson County. Thanks

I live in NoCo Saint Louis (Brentwood, Overland, Clayton, etc.) and I still run on 3G. How down south are you?

+1 i live i noco as well.. ferguson, florrisant, hazelwood, and so forth. not having 4g is one of the primary things stopping me from jumping on this phone... along with the "premium data charge"

I'm in DC and while it is listed as "coming soon" it is indeed live now; I get a great 4G signal at home.

I have never seen 3G so fast as on my EVO. I previously had a TouchPro (original) and while it wasn't slow, browsing on 3G with the EVO is very fast. I'll probably only turn on 4G when I want to download a large file or for media intensive activities. I honestly consider 4G a bonus with the EVO and would have bought it even if I were never going to use 4G.

This phone is AWESOME, hands-down the best phone I've had!

Here in atlanta as well which has decent 4g coverage. I actually haven't even been using 4g at all, the evo really makes the best use of 3g. I can browse full web pages with ease, it almost feels like my desktop, no BSing. I can watch youtube HQ with relative ease. This phone is rediculously fast and even though I don't like the additional 10(in my case 20 since I have 2 evos) I can understand where they are coming from. You will in fact be using alot more data, either 3g or 4g, this phone is amazing. The 4g I can see being used for high data extensive stuff, like downloading really huge files or hotspotting or browsing while on the phone but other than that my 4g will remain off.
