I know. that's a disappointment for many current and potential customers. They can spin it but it does make a big difference. Plus if you buy this on Verizon or Sprint, wouldn't it be obvious that the data will be much slower than on the ATT version? Verizon/Sprint is a 3g cdma device and ATT is hspa+ up to 14mbps. Clearly the ATT one is better for data purposes. Maybe not so much for calling though. I also wonder what this is going to do to Sprints network once a few million new Iphone users jump on the network. I guess we will hear more from Hesse this week on Network Vision but I'm betting the network is going to take a hit.

@Riley the network is already taking a hit in my town as well as a couple other towns to the west of Chicago (just noticed this today). it may even be worse in those towns because I found myself unable to stream a song with a full signal.

Yeah, well it looks like its time to shop for a new carrier. I wouldn't put up with it if I was you.

I'm gone as well probably in another couple weeks, unless something interesting is announced.
