I had the same issue. I had an apartmnet where i got no coverage inside, but had perfect coverage outside. You do need to call retentions. They are the ones that have the power to hook u up with an airrave. I personally have 3 phones on my account and told them that I need service in my house since I work at home and would consider moving my account if there was nothing they could do. I then mentioned the airrave and asked about that. Sometimes the biggest thing is to threaten to leave Sprint, even if you dont plan on it. Since they have been bleeding customers so much they are more likey to do something like that if you threaten to leave.
Needless to say that they sent me an airrave for free ($100 value) and they credit my account the $5 every month. the only thing that i had to do was extend my contract for a year. which is not a big deal since i usually get a new phone every year anyway.

Hope this helps! It defintely worked for me.

I believe that the Airrave only supports voice and NOT data - I've got one and it doesn't help my data connectivity a bit, but works great for voice!
Correction - It does support 1x but not EVDO, sorry for the incorrect info.

sry if this has been said. didnt have time to read every post.
i wonder why i have quite a few registry entries with WiMax labels. i understand it could just come with the OS. but that would mean that they would have a win mo 6.5 device that was 4g capable?

While the Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) does NOT support 4G (currently the Evo & Iphone are the only 4G's, IIRC), I have no problems with it being slow. On a bad day, I am running at about 1300kbps (not using Wifi, just the Sprint 3G). Which is still ungodly fast in my opinion.

Web pages load in mere seconds (longest it has taken me has been about 6 seconds) and downloads are blazing fast. Also if you get a CR (Custom Rom) flashed on your device and remove the bloatware (Stock useless apps) you will be flabergasted as to just how fast it can run.

If you (OP) are even thinking about getting the Rhodium I for one would say do it. I researchrd it for almost a day (heard about it on a friday bought it the next day) and have never been more pleased with a spontanious purchase.

At the end of the day I have never seen a better phone. The only way I will replace it is for a Touch Pro 3 (I am hoping it will basically be the Leo with a qwerty).

Sorry to sound like such a Rhodium cheerleader but I have only had it for a month and the intial "wow" factor has not yet worn off, lol.

BTW, the "4" in iPhone4 does not mean it's a 4G phone, it is just the number that comes after 3. Sprint is the only carrier in the US that offers 4G ATM.

Well after doing more reading I see you are correct. Though didn't apple market it as being 4G when it was announced?

Either way, It is still an Iphone, So I would not piss on it if it were on fire.

Not to sound rude or anything, but yes. The Iphone4(g) is an 4G phone.

It's so sad that you told someone to google it, while obviously not having done so yourself.

There is not one single mention of the iPhone 4 being 4G capable. You'd think if it was, Apple would list it on their own website wouldn't they? AT&T's 4G network will use LTE, which the iPhone 4 does not support. It's still on 3G like the iPhones before it.

Edit: And the proper name is iPhone 4, not iPhone 4G. I can't find the link, but they specifically named it iPhone 4 and not iPhone 4G to avoid confusing people into thinking it has 4G capability when it does not.

I was actual in the process of editing my post prior to you making yours. I googled Iphone 4g and about 50% of the posts said it is 4G capable. Hence me editing my post. So calm down and change the tampon mam. You are on the internet, I know it IS serious buisness and all but lets try to tone it down a notch or two.

I was told that when the Iphone 4 was announced it was announced to be 4g (hence the marketing as being an Iphone like non before it), but from what I can tell, its just as big a P.O.S as every other Iphone on the Market.

Calm down? I'm perfectly calm. I don't know why you took any form of emotion from my post, I just said that it didn't make sense for you to tell someone to google something when you were wrong. I didn't say anything offensive or inappropriate. If I toned down my post any more there wouldn't be anything in it. If you took offense to it, then that's you being sensitive, but don't call me names in the same post in which you are telling me to "tone down" my comments because they're upsetting you. My post was objective and to the point. I did not insult you in anyway.
