Sprint's iDEN Network Shuts Down Tonight
Sprint will regain its title as largest voice coverage network
Currently, no other carrier has devices that can roam off 800 CDMA voice, only the LTE portion. The title will mean User coverage, not native network.

Verizon, US Cellular, MetroPCS, LeapWireless/Cricket all have devices capable of roaming off 800 CDMA voice and data. Remember 850Mhz was called 800Mhz in the past. If you mean ESMR which is a specific blockset in the 800Mhz range, next to the 850Mhz frequency, then you are correct, only Sprint and I believe USCellular and C-Spire have those frequencies in their devices, as often they use each others networks to roam nationally.
As for LTE, Sprint and C-Spire currently are the only two networks that have LTE roaming capabilities, and I believe the ability for consumer devices to roam between them is coming later this year.
