I couldn't wait for it though. I ditched Sprint as a carrier several months ago. Here in SE Michigan USA it got so bad it was cheaper for me to pay the ETF rather than pay monthly for service that was spotty at best. Beyond that, why would I want to go back to a device that locks me into one carrier? Currently I can and do tether my handset to my Nokia w/a data plan. I can do that with just about any carrier, so no matter where I can choose a carrier that has coverage. Carriers also give away handsets.
