They are moving to LTE. Which is probably why they stopped or really slowed Wimax expansion.

Keep in mind it was Clearwire that was expanding the network.
We know that Clearwire was switching to LTE and that Lightsquard's (LTE) name was thrown into the mix.
There was a rumor about Sprint buying Clearwire too.

Clear is in a funding issue. Will it is generating revenue it ran out of funds to massively expand without more funds.
That is the reason why it has stopped expanding.
A sprint acquisition would mean they could expand with the funds that Sprint has more readily available than Clear does right now.
Would that mean new devices or just an update to work with lte? If it went to lte.. otherwise, massive 4g expansion would ve cool too

Im thinking it will have something to do with their network capacity/bandwidth.
But The main thing will be the buying the rest of Clear. It is a very logical step.
plus if you didn't know they either pay Clear monthly or a one time fee for each 4g device they sell. technically they would save money as well as be able to funnel Clear up the arse with $$ better than how it is being funneled now. My bet is a full ownership and incorporation of Clear wire into SPRINT-nextel. Then phasing out IDEN and using spectrum for Clear if it is possible or Lightsquard.
maybe they will remove the 10 charge? LoL

WTF, where did the AT&T&TMO and Sprint come from, have you heard something I haven't heard, That would really suck getting sucked back into ATT tierd data plan they had pushed on me before I left
I for one, don't have much hope for anything useful. i've been going back and forth with sprint (phone, twitter, email, however i can get them to answer me) about my consistent lack of data. They never have anything helpful to say. To be honest, i'm about burned out on Sprint and their "announcements". Like the others said, that Kyocera Echo was like spitting in the face of your users. Utterly disappointing.
Seriously, short of an announcement that the wimax would actually work and that data would be useable, i don't care.

Verizon’s Spring Roadmap Leaked, April Full of Androids with Samsung Droid Charge, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, and HTC Droid Incredible 2 [EXCLUSIVE]
by Kevin Krause on March 30th, 2011 at 6:55 am
So you want to know when all those shiny 4G LTE handsets are actually launching on Verizon? A friendly neighborhood tipster has sent along Verizon’s upcoming roadmap for their Spring releases, and it’s chock full of Android. For starters, the Samsung 4G LTE phone we had believed would go under the Stealth name is once again confirmed as the Charge (though Droid Charge will be the final name) and pegged with a release date of April 7th. Also planned to launch on the same day is the rugged Casio Commando, which was shown off at CTIA to little excitement. Jump forward a week to April 14th and we have the release of the highly anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia Play gaming smartphone. If that wasn’t enough Android goodness for April already, expect the HTC Droid Incredible right around the end of the month on the 28th.
Moving out of April, May should see its share of Android, as well. May 5th is given as the day we can expect the the 4G LTE LG Revolution , and the Motorola DROID BIONIC is loosely listed with a May release, as well. Also without certain dates but listed as launching in May (or later) are the Motorola Droid X 2 and, get this, the Samsung Galaxy S II. I don’t think we expected the US launch of the Galaxy S followup to come so soon, but Verizon is suggesting it might be so (unless they are simply suggesting the launch will come after May).
Whew, that was a lot. Did you take all that in? Verizon has a big couple of months ahead of them. Let’s just hope another Thunderbolt fiasco doesn’t push back these dates further than they need to go.
[Thanks, Thomas!]

It may just be that the SIM card slot is to support GSM networks if you travel abroad and not necessarily for LTE support. After all, this is how the BackBerry is sold on Verizon, isn't it?

I'm not saying it's not a world phone, but it doesn't prove that it is one either.
Could also just be a place holder. No logic connected to it. I find this unlikely because its added cost to manufacture, but I find it unlikely to 4g because vzw and or SE would be all over this for a marketing perspective.
If it turns out to be a 4g sim, I'll eat my words and be the first inline to purchase this phone. Lol

It proves one of two things. One the xperia play for Verizon will work globally which means it will work on cdma and gsm networks. Or two, the xperia play for Verizon will be 4g and run on Verizon's LTE network. (which is the one I hope it is WOOO! but chances are its not)

I'm getting a second replacement evo from Sprint tomorrow, most likely with a new extended battery. I got an iPhone today. I cant stand the USB issues the evos seem to have. I'm including the 32GB class 10 Lexar card also for $350.
I would say $250.00 to somebody knowledgeable that there are some kick ass phones around the corner. To dumb brainless people, sounds on spot.

I got rid of my EVO on fleabay for 299.99 I included a spare data cable, 16GB card and leather carry case. Had 3 day auction and sold with buy it now in 24 hrs.
CL is another great idea for a local sale. Definately meet in a public place and have a 2nd set of eyes, like the other posters have mentioned.
I would definitely go the ebay route. Somebody would pay good money for an off contract super-phone like the Evo, even though a new one is coming out fairly soon.

He bought an iPhone. He's going to sell his replacement Evo, I'm assuming most likely to recoup any ETF he's going to be charged and to offset cost of the iPhone. No wrong doing here at all.

I think it is something more sinister, tiered data, look here.
Don't think this will affect me... but why would sprint end their unlimited everything when they put so much into it...
I don't think this nesescarily means the end of unlimited data. I think the everything plans will stay intact and these "buckets" will be small for dumb phone users who want smart phones but don't want to jump from a 69.99 family talk and text to a very expensive (in their eyes) 129.99 plus 10 dollars per smart phone.
A single bucket of say 5 gb for 30 would be a god way to update a 4 phone plan with 2 smartphone with out going to a everything data plan with 2 phones that don't use data. This might be a good way to even power your tablet ith internet instead of paying fcor an additional expensive data plan.
Remmber, this little internal document shows almost nothing. Let's not get all up in a bunch over something we don't ANY details on. I know sprint may have their hads up their asses when it comes to bringing in the popular devices with diverse selection, but they have always been pretty inovative on pricing.

+1 I so agree they are just starting to gain on the big 2 and if/when the Tmobile and Att merger happens they will make a killing. I think if they are going to do that they will not do away with unlimited that is there bread and butter.
Care for me to shed some light on this?
SNAP and FDT were scheduled for maintenance from 11:15pm to 10:15am CST. SNAP and FDT are our ordering systems. The Sprint store is down because everyone is effected by this. Customer care, NSS, and Account Services all cannot order any phones during this time.
We should be seeing the site come back up here very shortly. However, about the tiered data, from what I have read and heard from some of my other Sprint connections they are just making new cheaper plans for people who don't want to pay for unlimited 4G data.
And Sprint is doing this because of one reason, LTE. Remember what I said earlier? 80% of the Sprint towers by 2013 will have WiMax and LTE. They are redoing every single tower, one by one.

Not only that but the Author of that article says this almost certainly means... in other words he has no clue and is guessing. Plus Sprint did not comment. I believe others here are correct in assuming it is for those without some type of unlimited data plan and want to share data between other phones in their plan. If anything these "buckets" of sharing may have limits. But just use Bluetooth file share and no network data is used.

At least we know that if data is eventually tiered we won't be charged extra like ATT and VZW customers.
Throttling is by far the lesser of two evils.
What's sad is this wouldn't effect me even if I went over. I average ~256kbps anyway
Well...I wouldn't mind 256k speeds right now! They need to fix some stuffs, ASAP. I'm burnin up the interwebs @60kps on 3G currently.

+1 on the throttling. Id hate to pay overage charges. i believe that sprint is not gonna do it in the near future ( hoping... i repeat hoping it wont at least) but of course it could happen. they are using the fact that everyone else is doing it as a little marketing push.

I do the same. I might be a homer, but man, the incentives are just too good when compared to the sheep headers.
If my signals bad for a few, or I can't get wimax... peanuts!
The plans + phones / money can't be beat!

agreed lol doesnt bother me to have bad signal usually only for a minute tops lol deff best phones and plans
I just don't get why everybody is so worried about faster speeds when everybody caps or throttles. (Yes, except for Sprint. So far)
It's like, "Hey, I can hit my cap in 2.5 weeks!" "Oh yeah well I can hit mine in less than 2 weeks!"

Best plans by far... The phones (hTC) get better with each release.

Actually will be worth the upgrade if this is true !
But hopefully its released soon otherwise those quad core beasts will be too close to pass up on.
Hmm engadget has edited their post, and its gonna be at 1.5ghz dual core!

I was about to mention the same thing! I still want to see the updated specs on this bad boy before getting too excited. If they're upping the processor, maybe they'll upgrade a few other things too, like the camera, RAM (show me 2 gee bees ), internal storage.
Man, if they upgrade this to current specs at the release date, I'm getting this thing the day it comes out even though Chicago isn't on the list of places to get LTE first. I'm sure it will come later this year though, I would think it's too big of a market to ignore for too long.
EDIT: -10 months for my upgrade (had one since Feb or Mar of this past year...)

Hope it is Exynos and not the Snapdragon in the Sprint version of the Gnex. AFAIK the Exynos SoC does not have LTE.
*faints* Xp.......

been eligible for quite some time. still dont knwo if this is the right upgrade path for me.
So basically they are going to launch a 3g Nexus? Because they will only have 4 cities up and running with LTE by "mid 2012", and they are mostly in Texas. By the time Sprint's Nexus gets LTE in your area, you will most likely want to be getting another phone anyway. Doesn't make much sense unless you seriously dont care about 4g LTE. The next Nexus phone will be the one that is attractive for Sprint, since their network will be really ramping up then.

Well it all depends on when they release it, if its in the next couple of months i will use someones upgrade on it if its later then 3 months i will hold off
The thing is even with the new fast roll out of lte i still don't know if i will have it in my city and having a nexus device for 2 years waiting for better stuff wouldnt kill me like how frusturating the epic was with updates. like i said tho it all depends when they release it, if its longer then 3 months then it might be too old too me. and wait...
Well I can't get a new phone until July, but this is great news! Now I know my next phone will be a quad-core 1.5GHz (or more) phone with an HD display, 12 MP camera, and LTE!
