At least at home I can use wifi, so the lack of 4G isn't the worst thing in the world, though I would love to tether vs pay Comcast their robbery every month.

I still have home 30mbps network..but I prefer to use my cell radio for work..simply because my home network while very secure is not "secure enough" for my tastes...so for work I use my cell to tether...been tethering since the apache days..

I tethered all the time with my TP2, but you always drop the connection when the phone rings. In my old office (.8 miles from my apartment) I could dl at a solid 7mbps on the 4G network.

you know, after i saw your post, i went back to sprint 4G coverage map again to check my area coverage, and guess what, it's i have 4G in where i live. am happy now....

ps. i checked that map 3 or 4 times from work and it said no coverage till yesterday. weird.

well thats a limitation of cdma technology...until svdo...if you mean when another phone receives a call..then Id say avoid 2.4ghz phones..and some microwaves that can cause interference to wifi...

maybe they launched a tower recently? lol..but they did redo the maps due to introduction of 3g roaming in some places

I mean on my phone, like you said (and plenty off AT&T iphone commercials too) the limitation of cdma technology.
