Uploading a pic will take years!
I've tried Sprint's megapixel phones, and the difference in upload time is significant (when compared to a 640x480 pic). Uploading a file taken with this device would simply be impractical. Only on a EV-DO network would I only consider this phone.

Don't think it will take that long with this one. Considering the fact that its memory is going to upped to 5mpxls is great. I can't wait to see the reviews on this phone.

i dont think it will take as long as you think on Sprint's vision right now, but i do agree that i would want it EV-DO capable. I'm pretty sure that it will be EV-DO if it does come out for sprint.
but uploading isn't that necessary because of the memory card it uses. but unlimited photo storage is nice.
...
Well, this does have an RS-MMC card slot, so you can always get photos off that way.
EV-DO is coming to Sprint within a year, but EV-DO does NOT increase upload speed at all compared to 1xRTT, so it won't help you on uploading megapixel photos whatsoever. ☹️
...
If I am not misunderstood, upload speed for EV-DO is 1.8 mbps, meaning it is ALOT faster than 1xRTT. 1.8 up and 3.1 down. Isn't that right?
...
Not exactly - those speeds are for revision A, which is still a couple of years away.
What Verizon and Sprint are deploying now is revision 0, which is 2.4m down and 153k up.
...
Maybe I'm thinking of EV-DV . . . Oh well, I suck.
