Well apparently its not official, but I managed to connect to some parts of San Francisco with 4G signal. I must say that not only was I very excited, but the speedtest shows over 6MBps and the web experience was totally fast and exciting!
I know that it's still probably in beta state, most likely when Sprint unleashes the 4G to the masses officially I bet it will be in full strength and the area will be a lot larger.
What part of sf?

So far I was able to connect to 4G in Oakland (right after I get off the bridge), along market street, along embarcadero and by Self Storage 1 in San Francisco (off bayshore street).
I connected on while on the bus on Masonic just north of Haight-Ashbury, but no luck in north beach
I get 4g in some places in SF...However, I live in Sacramento and their 4g here as well.
I think Sprint uses Clear Wireless 4g network to connect us.
you can see some of the places in sf that has 4g (apparently) here

I got it in Santa Clara near Great America about a month ago..
its been up in san leandro and hayward for 6 months now unofficially. the map shows it in tracy and stockton slowly moving into the east bay. i also connected to 4g in sf at the wife's place. that would be on van ness

I got 8 mbps in Concord on Sunday, 6 in Pleasant Hill, and now doing some work in San Bernadino down south and am getting 5-6 mbps, but nothing in Martinez yet but hopefully soon
Got some at the Metreon.. And in Walnut Creek and Concord. And I get full bars in the science building at CSU East Bay in Hayward.

I am sure Sprint is racing with their 4G deployments around all major urban areas (SF bay, Sac, LA, etc) so as to not get knocked off their perch by big red, which promises LTE next month.
I got 4g signal around downtown and mission district..

According to Sensorly Map Viewer you should have it around Bancroff and College or Eastshore and University or Shattuck and Ashby. Please report back.

for the first time since ive had sprint im getting the speed they've always claimed but ive never reached...im just wondering if anyone in and around pearland can tell me if they have similar speeds....i just know this isnt going to last but still a bit excited my 3g has never reached 3 or even crept past 1
I got 9 down in beverly hills yesterday with 4G, that was cool.
lol im so excited because well i have never seen 3Mbps on 3g on sprint, ive gotten 889kbps at most, i now this wont hold up for very long because if it could my 3g here wouldnt be so shoddy...this whole town is saturated in 4g and i cant get it on my evo for more then a min before losing it and my neighbor who has a franklin 4g stick gets 2bars and 500kbps on 4g...its ridiculous
I used to get 3 mbs down speed at the beginning of last year in the St. Louis area in 3g but its slower now but 4g is about 4.95 down now.

The speed test app isn't very accurate, download xtreme labs test app, its a bit more accurate, speakeasy website I think is better then speedtest.net and just like I figured my 3Mbps over 3g is back down to 600kbps
Best I ever got on 3G was about 2.6mbps. Got a little over 7 on 4G the other day in downtown Houston. Those 10+ speeds are awesome.

Is that with 4G full bars?? thats bad, i get that with 3G in philadelphia, in center city I reached 9mbs early in the morning, then I average 4mbs-7mbs in 4G!!
The 3g in my area always runs at 1.5 to 2.3 but its a small town with not many sprint users.... Sadly I'll probably never see 4g

I can't wait until Lubbock gets 4G or I get to go back home to MD.
Probably the wrong forum topic but I'm getting 4G in New York, I got 5mbps with about 2 bars.

Yea... I've been getting 4G at the seaport since launch. I was also able to get it at Giants stadium last week.
Im in the lower east side manhattan, And i've gotten 1-2 bars from my 12th floor apt..
like 6mbps/1.5mbps not too bad..cant wait for FULL OFFICAL 4g with always FULL 3 bars.. thats gonna be crazy
I was down near Battery Park last week and had 4G service.
Nice to know White Plains is rolling out 4G, use to live there couple years ago. Now I am in CT and they are rolling out 4G in random places right now. I have it outside at my house currently, but for the small town I live in it truly makes no sense why here.
here's a few shots of it running from my lower east side apartment:

Tried it out today and 3g was faster. My 4g speeds sucked, poor signal at Deaconess Hospital area. .45 and .76 mbs down .05 and .57 mbs up. 3g is 1 down and .75 up. Whats up with that?
OK talked to our sprint rep, they are only testing right now. Coverage will go in and out with speeds changing all the time. He didn't know how long before fully operational. They are just testing a few towers right now. What a tease.

Ok I think I'm missing something. Clear shows 4g in Fort Wayne, IN but Sprints coverage show nothing there. I turned it on to see if it would connect, but it just say on scanning...My phone has connected to 4G in Chicago before so I know it works...
They are testing towers all over. Part of sprints 5 billion dollar tower upgrade. Can't wait for finished project.

Just a heads up. I've been connecting to the 4G network in a few places around town. So far I was able to connect in West End but it is very spotty.
Then I got a connection at the comedy club Stardome in Hoover.
I got the best connection while sitting at the Purple Onion in Homewood.
According to Clear's app a lot of Birmingham should be covered. It also said Bessemer to but I can't connect at all there

You would think that but I'm down in Birmingham because of the power outages in Huntsville.
I got the best speeds while riding down I-65 through downtown.

The top one was the only test I took while on 4G.
I was getting 4g a couple of weeks before the tornadoes came through. I had some service in Linn Park downtown but was very spotty, and disappeared as soon as i got inside (even next to a window, the glass would stop all my 4g service). I stayed connected most of the way down 31 on my way home (doing speed tests the whole way) then lost 4g somewhere in Homewood. My speeds never got above 3 megs down, and up was pretty bad. The part that troubled me was that ping was always HORRIBLE - like 300 or more. I hope this is not the final result because its worse than 3g.
I've been getting really good 4G in both Enterprise, AL and Dothan, AL recently. Usually around 2mbps to 4.5mbps surprisingly enough. Just wish the Enterprise tower was strong enough to get a signal to my house on Fort Rucker.
Amazed that Clear has towers up in such a small place as Enterprise. Feel like I might be the only one using this tower a lot.
Well crap. I just left Helena. I was down there all weekend cause Albertville was out of power.
There are no expansion plans for "4G" in Birmingham. Clearwire is so pathetic they cant expand and actually are putting 1-3 sites in each market to avoid the FCC revoking their spectrum licensing. 5 Mbps on 4G is pretty bad anyways considering I get 14Mbps on AT&T and 35-40 on Verizon LTE.
I love outside of B-ham in West Jefferson,about 30 minutes away from Homewood. 10 mins away from Forestdale. I hate not having 4g. I wish they would put up a tower for us in birmingham. I have had my phone for almost a year and it has never connected to a 4g tower. Ever. It pisses me off that I have to pay the 10 dollar charge and cant get it. I for some reason dont get it in Homewood, at Virginia College.
good news. i was in monterey park / rosemead california area and received H+/3G/H signal today... I wonder anybody received it in other area of Los Angeles.
thanks
Check this out. It shows the towers that have 1900Mhz support turned on. More are being added every day.

I bought a $3 unlimited day plan just to test it. In the Ventura/Oxnard area my N7000 is still on edge.
Glad to hear that! Getting this phone for my mom and she actually lives near Rosemead on TMO so hopefully she'll get the faster data.
Not in Jacksonville Fl yet as it shows...
I'm not sure how accurate that site is, or how often it really updates the information. For example, I'm in Jacksonville, FL where it's supposed to have gone live a day ago; that's not the case... I'm still getting edge.
