With Eclair maybe? 802.11n was enabled in Froyo. Up until the update, my wi-fi access point was was configured for n only and my stock unrooted Evo connected at 65 Mbps. It can still see the AP when it is set to n only but not connect. I had to enable mixed b/g/n and now it will connect on g only at 54 Mbps. My signal is weaker and browsing is slower.
Maybe without the Evo having two antennas it didn't meet official n specifications but it was still faster before the update. I'm on wi-fi 98% of the time and there is no 4G in my area and if it uses a little more battery, I would have liked it to have been my decision to make.
Now, I'm not sure my GPS is funky, my Ulysses Gizmo's compass isn't compatible or what but I can't stand in one place and turn in a circle and see my compass dial make it all the way around. Google Sky couldn't get its act together for me last night either.

As you can see, we have our share of trolls here on the EVO side of XDA but you should be used to that by now coming from DX. These low-lifes are rampant on these forums, just ignore them and you will be ok...
Regarding your question. Technically, if you are flashing a newer version of a rom like say going to CM7 2.2 coming from 2.1, technically you do not have to wipe everything, just dalvic cache but if you are flashing a completely new rom then it's best to completely wipe everything. There is a zip called "format all" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271
somewhere in the OP in this link, and you can just flash that zip before you go to a new rom and it automatically wipes absolutely everything for you, so you won't have to worry.
I highly recommend you use the format all zip before every rom update or change, just to be safe. And make sure you create a nand backup before hand.
Welcome to the dark side! I'm sure you will love your evo!
P.S if you're looking for roms to try out, particularly AOSP, I highly recommend MIUI. For a sense rom, go with any of Calkulins.
Let me know if you need anything else.

I'm telling you man, do not get into any kind of conversations with some of these folks. Their goals in life are to literally be useless. Ignore them and just do what you gotta do. Don't let anyone alter your decision.
Disregard what the morons are saying about Sprint. Sprint is by far the best value in wireless services. The amount of money you'll be saving will more than make up for any tiny nuisances you'll find with Sprint. Besides, you have 30 days to try out to see if you like it. If you feel it's not worth it to you, just leave and go back... no questions asked.
The EVO is kinda old news now. I would wait for the next big dual core android with AMOLED action. And the number of roms for EVO actually is not all that impressive. Most of them are regurgitations of others. There are a couple of good sense options (although I think rooted stock sense is best) and then there is cyanogen.... which is the best there is IMO... And now it has the extra G.... not that the 4G has been very useful to me.
I average 1.5 to 1.6 Mbps down and 600 to 800 Kbps up.
That ain't bad for 3G.

Yep me too. Occasionally it will be really slow but that only lasts for minutes.
@OP- Answer to your original question- Yes, you can flash ROM after ROM but you need to wipe in between flashing. One of our awesome devs Calkulin made a script that formats everything completely that is an awesome tool to use before flashing. Makes for a good clean install. You can find it in his mods thread in the theme section.

Sprints been at a true crossroad the last couple months on commuting to a 4G technology Wimax or LTE.
99.9 % chance it will be LTE by the looks thus chip plays a big factor.
I don't think there is a dual chip available yet that can play both so it will be interesting.

From what I understand a switch from WiMax to LTE is just a firmware update, so my guess is the chip included would just require an update and there you go, WiMax to LTE on your phone now.

True firmware can be done on tower but not on current wimax chips so they would have to use muti capable.

From what I understand on the subject, the WiMax chips in our phones aren't and can never be compatible with LTE. The infrastructure (network, towers) is compatible with a radio or controller swap but the WiMax chips in the phones are not.
That being said, I would disagree and put it at a 99% probability that whatever they release will be WiMax. LTE would be a better option but I would be very surprised to see them moving to that now, maybe in a year or two.
I had a feeling they were going to have big news. Two things that drive me nuts about Sprints tendencies are their propensity to go with physical keyboards (Epic) and chrome rims around the phone which I think are very ugly (Touch Pro, EVO Shift). If they release a Nexus S, just the way it is but with the addition of 4G, that would be a very difficult device to turn down.

Beceem is the only company I'm aware of that has had muti capable chip in the works and that was well after EVO release....Im pretty sure Epics not using it.
hopefully Sprint has smarted up and will be using it....if its even available yet.

As i said in another thread,if all sprint did was just add 4G to the current nexus S,it will be a huuuuge flop.
If they don't bump the hardware specs i.e. a dual core proc,s'amoled plus,1080p video and true HDMI,this phone will be dead on arrival.

Fromg the google blog:
It features a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from everyday objects that have NFC tags.
In addition, today we’re excited to announce that Sprint customers will soon be able to take advantage of the full set of Google Voice features without changing or porting their number.

It will get almost all future updates until the hardware cant handle the software. The Nexus One, which is pretty damn old now, just recently got official Gingerbread, and will likely get Ice Cream.
Yea but what he meant is...
Thanks to the hardware similarities we wont be far behind them in updates so why pay all that money for basically the same phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)
I personally hate physical keyboards now. Mine is just wasted, unused bulk.
True Google software is worth it for me. Dual core CPU's aren't even close to being utilized in smartphones yet anyway. Not until apps/software are written to support them.
The Hummingbird can still hold its own.
So today i seen a review of the new kyocera rise. Whats very baffling is that the rise has the same specs of the epic and yet it has 4.0? its a shame that samsung has to lie to us.

Samsung never stated our phone cant run 4.0 It needed to run mtd and there would have been too many issues with that official update. Get yo facta str8 gangsta

Besides, forget specs, it was 100% an economical decision. Why allocate dev hours to a 2+ year old phone that isn't selling on store shelves any more?
Nah, this is some McBullshiz. Hehe.

Bubble now burst
Samsung only promised owners of the SPH-D700 (Epic 4G) ... wait for it ...

Everything beyond Froyo was lagniappe. Threads such as this are pointless.

Haha, you're right =] ...on both accounts
However, does it really and truly matter? We have 4.0, we have 4.1 as well as others. Why? Because of the developers in this community that keep our phone from fading away. Who cares if it's official or not. If it was, don't ya think it would probaly be loaded down with bloatware and nonsense to begin with? Official means more stuff i gotta delete to make room for apps i will use! lol.. Just my thoughts on the thing. I love my OG Epic.

No doubt, I have a buddy that went from his Evo, to an iPhone 4s, to a Nexus, and now back to a 4s (work required him to switch this time).
I told him I was running Jelly and he didn't say anything at first until he remembered I'm still rockin' the Epic 4G, then he flipped. Haha he said "my theory is that you'll have that phone the rest of your life". Maybe he's right =]
Just hoping something fails before December so I can make claim for a new refurb before my insurance expires =]
What is BS about our phone & samsuck. Is the fact the GPS is kinda useless. GPS will not work/get lock outside of CDMA coverage. IMA that makes GPS useless! Drive from New York to LA & tell me that its all 100% CDMA covered:banghead:
Not to mention if you take your epic out of North America and want to use the ****ing GPS on it your **** outta luck
**** SAMSUCK!! I love this phone but I still have NOT BOUGHT one thing samsung after finding out the GPS is just totaly ****ed on our phone & there seems to be no fixing it with software.

Speaking of the 4S; did anyone happen to read the Gizmodo article on the Apple employee manual?

No that does NOT WORK! I did a lot of testing with that.
If you Jam the radio bands for CDMA you can not & will not get a GPS lock. Samsung sucks ass! I mean how about if WiFi or bluetooth just refused to work out of CDMA coverage zones!

If you are say out on Lake Michigan or the Ocean or you have the Epic 4G with in a Jamming field of CDMA bands used in the U.S. the GPS is rendered useless. That is proof that the GPS is somehow tied to the cell radio reception and is not an independent true Sat based GPS.
Samsuck ****ed it up totally & never admitted it's falt:banghead: IMA its wrong to say the SPH-D700 Has GPS the Epic 4G's GPS is only going to work in parts of the world that have CDMA so forget trying to use this thing some day as a backup nav unit on a boat, survival bag, in the middle of bum **** NV or AK WI or Off shore, maybe an Oil rig or a fishing boat to log you fishing trip fun in the golf.
