Thank God that Motorola is finally making a CDMA device for Sprint! I haven't heard anything from Moto about it...but they've been pretty focused on the Droid X and Droid 2 launches. Here's to hoping that article is right.

Nice, that HTC Sabor sounds amazing. My Premier upgrade is in December, so hopefully that phone releases around that time.

Yeah, HTC Sabor FTW. Glad I'm holding off on upgrading until next year.

I'm on VZW, so I'm waiting for that beastly Droid Pro they referenced. 2ghz processors....IPhone seems kind of, well, obsolete against those, doesn't it? Saw a piece yesterday sayings Android is now the most popular mobile OS in the US.

Think about that....2 1ghz (dual core) processors and 1gig or so of ram is a pretty decent COMPUTER 4-5 years ago. LOL, someone said "just imagine overclocking those dual processors to 1.5ghz"!

My contract is up with AT&T this month and I am 100% switching to something else. I'll probably hold off until 4G makes its way to Cincinnati, which is supposed to happen before the end of the year.

I don't know what cities, but VZW is rolling out LTE at the end of the year and it's supposed to be 25-30 cities, but could maybe end-up being 45-50. If it's somewhere in between, CIN would probably be on the bubble.

I know I could just google it, but what are the differences between 4G and LTE?

Basically, 4G is Sprint's network, LTE is Verizon's. There is a technical differnce, but both are approx. 10X faster than 3G.

I could be wrong but I heard when LTE is completely built, it'll be faster than wimax/4g. That's prolly why Sprint has stated that having lte and wimax its possible...

This is great news...if Sprint can stay competitive with Verizon...coverage wise, either Verizon will have to start dropping their ridiculous prices or have a great alternative once my contract is up.

PS...the Sabor sounds like a beast. I think I am a HTC for lifer

The Sabor (ghey name) does sound awesome, but I've seen a lot of stuff online saying that the specs don't make sense.

Everything I have read is that the Sabor is just the EVO 2. Faster processor(although, the EVO is lightening fast) and a few other tweeks like Android 3.0

I agree Wes about HTC, I love the HTC Sense UI with Android.
