Yeah….. ummm… you obviously dont know how spectrum/Wavelengths work…. LOWER=Better at penetrating walls …. So… 1.9ghz= Twice as bad as 800Mhz…. Just try using Sprints WiMax in the center of a large building anywhere but near a window…. doesn’t happen….Hopefully all of the carriers start taking advantage/expanding their lower spectrum positions in the near future

Lower frequencies penetrate walls better higher frequencies go further.

Not everyone’s case though(1.9 works in my very well). 800MHz LTE starts mid-2013.

Sprint should be applauded for its agressive moves on LTE. Sure , WiMax was a failed venture and costly, but Sprint is playing the game with improved service, which is NOT how ATT is playing. Funny how the second largest carrier, who clearly doesn’t spend the money on improving its infrastructure, spends $40billion on acquisition and exclusive phone deals. Witha lock on the GSM iPhone, ATT won’t have a true competitor in Sprint till an LTE iPhone comes out. ATT is pretending to develop LTE, but in the background, they are trying to decalre their 1.5-3mbps HsPA+ as “4g”.

You a lie. Seeing as how 800 GHZ is enough to penetrate through walls, 1900 (aka 1.9) is PLENTY.

Too bad 1.9Ghz Still wont be going through too many walls any time soon ;-( I’m glad they have made a decision though.
