Shortages of Phone Hindering Sprint 4G
However, I think there are other factors to consider too:
– The mandatory additional $10 per month cost for 4G wireless data service
– Spotty 4G service availability
– Questionable speed gains when comparing 4G to 3G wireless data service
– Possible higher battery drain associated with 4G data use
In my experience, Sprint’s 3G wireless data service is widely available with good downstream data speed.
