all i have heard is verizon, well they will ruin it like the rest of their phones, so will sprint get this? and when? i hope they are one of the first cause they were so behind with the original razr, or all of them get it at the same time.
...
if i remember correctly Sprint will be recieving it but Rev.0 not Rev.A
...
thats fine, rev.0 is fast enough, and wayyy faster then cingular 😁
...
This phone probably will get a CDMA release but lately Verizon has been nabbing the Motorola phones. They got the Maxx Ve and the PEBL-like CDMA phone so I don't think this will come to Sprint in the nearby future. AT&T is obsessed with the iPhone.

SPRINT
EV-DO Rev 0
Peak data rate on downlink 2.5 Mbit/s
Peak data rate on uplink 154 kbit/s
1xRTT also offers much faster data speeds. The initial release - release 0 (zero) - supports data speeds peaking at 144 kbps. Typical real-world speeds are closer to 60-80 kbps.
vs.
Cingular
UMTS, using W-CDMA, supports up to 14.0 Mbit/s data transfer rates in theory (with HSDPA), although at the moment users in deployed networks can expect a performance up to 384 kbit/s for R99 handsets, and 3.6 Mbit/s for HSDPA handsets in the downlink connection.
EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s for 4 timeslots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 timeslots) in packet mode and will therefore meet the International Te...

as long as we are talking about speeds for phones that aren't out yet, let's talk about rev. b
Download up to 76 mbps (in theory) with average user speeds of 13.7mbps.
And, where can one receive HSDPA speeds reliably right now? Because most of the country is on EVDO already, when Edge isn't even in the same places.
...
all that is meaningless to me cause where i live in southern maine and new hampshire, at&t has NO high speed data what so ever, boston is the closest city with it, where as sprint already has rev. a in maine!?! and as for the iphone, i hope you enjoy spending $600 on a ipod with a touchscreen, thing is already outdated and not even out yet
...
LMAO compared to what, the upstage? 🤣

Fortunately Rev.A only has a negligible effect on download speeds. Its main intent is for upload speeds, and how often are you actually going to upload large files from a razr?
