Sprint HTC 3G/4G

[Michael Carlson]

I was wondering if anyone was using a Sprint HTC phone with their chasing. I know the thread says 4G, this is because I am thinking about snaggin this up when it comes out this summer. I just wanted to get some feed back from all of you about the phone if anyone uses it, what kind of weather apps and other cool chasing apps there are to use.

Thanks!

I just went a played with the Verizon equivalent version of that phone the other day which is the HTC Incredible and it was nice. The phone you are referring to is going to be called the EVO which will be the first 4G capable smart phone out and it will be a beast! It will be super quick with snap dragon 1ghz processor. Only thing I hope is that it is built a little sturdier than the VZW version. It felt really plastic-y and not very durable. Anyway, it will run Android and so far the weather apps for it aren't that great. It'll be a really good phone though!

Can you talk and use data at the same time ??

I'm using an htc mogul, one of the first evdo rev a phones when it was released.
It works great usually. Its not 4g though.

Are the data caps the same? If so, what's the point of extra speed, I believe you could blow through a 5gig data cap in less than 15 minutes on 4g if I did my math right.

Stuart, on CDMA networks like Sprint and Verizon you can't really use data and talk at the same time. I can on my plam pre look at e-mail and talk but if I bring up the web it will not let me make a call. GSM networks like ATT will let you talk and use data at the same time.

Right now, Sprints 4g is unlimted last time I looked. But it does cost more a month than the 3g part.
