New Networks....what should I do???

Silent R · 10-07-2011, 11:17 AM

Hey guys,

With Sprint going in a new direction with their network in the next few months, I am just wondering if it is worth getting a new phone now?? I've had my sights on the Epic Touch for a while now....just looking for some opinions if it is worth it??

Will these network upgrades be beneficial to any of Sprint's current line of phones??

Your thoughts....

Thanks

Sure, with the backhaul and infrastructure upgrades eliminating bottlenecks, you'll theoretically be able to get real Rev A speeds (1.5-2.5M) with current phones.

If you get the Epic Touch now your contract will expire when LTE is deployed in 2013, so your next phone would be an LTE phone. Sprint will continue to sell WiMax phones until next year and will most likely keep Wimax running several years beyond 2012 to support Wimax users until their contracts expire and they are eligible to renew.
