no, Band 2 and Band 25 take up the 1800-1900mhz spectrum, though Sprint will also be using the 2.5ghz spectrum currently on their WiMAX network as that is slowly converted over to LTE. Once the Nextel network is shutdown, the 800mhz spectrum can then be transferred to the LTE-Advanced upgrades coming in 2013. It hasn't been said whether the EVO 4G LTE will work on the 800 mhz spectrum either, but the Snapdragon S4 is compatible with that wavelength, so I would assume Sprint would send out a software update for it to be recognized.

yea i no its not really but it seems like a one s variant with some specs lowered. i feel the same way im assuming it is but just kind of odd that on every site there is no mention of it..
yes it is i believe they have plans for it later ononce they free up that band
um no the 800MHz LTE band Sprint will use is going to be band class 26. so that band there is a miss print and a real real bad one at that as that band they listed wasn't even tested at FCC for approval on the device. Only one that was tested and approved for LTE was 25.
takes antennae's and such to be able to work on that freq....its not a simple software OTA less somehow they have put some special sort of antennae's in there that could handle the ranges and all, which is real doubtful. Just b/c the chip handles it doesn't mean the hardware is there to support it. thats like saying you could flash the device over to work on GSM b/c the chip supports that band too...lol
Also the 2.6GHz is Clear's technically and its not WiMax being converted over its Clearwire putting up LTE right up next to the WiMax on already installed towers. NOT converting it over as they still have many WiMax customers through their own sales ontop of Sprints that has an agreement to support WiMax till 2015...there will be 2k Clearwire TDD LTE sites live by next June too evidently...

according to the gsmarena spec **** it has both the 800 and 1900mhz lte bands on the evo so i just assumed thats what that meant.. but i do believe it will support the lte on 800 band when they deploy according to this

WRONG!!!
Check the OP look for the FCC links and read the doc. plain and simple the phone was not certified for 800 LTE so its very likely that it is NOT going to cover it. right now only Sprint and HTC know the answer to that question. If they snuck a spec'd antennae in there to support it AND also plan on re-submitting the device to the FCC for testing again, then its possible....likely though?.....probably not.
also going to a gsm site for cdma phone spec.....smh lol
ahh well thats pretty lame but good to know. wishful thinking for the evo to be futureproof on lte
not many sites have very thorough spec sheets like that just searching and came across it. know any good sites for that kinda of stuff feel free to share haha

future proofing in the cell phone area is near impossible to do...next EVO will likely be close to it more than ever before really though. LTE Advanced likely incorporated in the Qualcomm SoC used then, on top of all 3 LTE bands...least thats my theory given LTE-Advanced is in Qualcomm chips and also Clears TDD LTE later this year...
anandtech is one of the most thorough review sites out that is NOT biased in any way toward anyone...
now for network related stuff i stick to s4gru.com...link in my sig as they have been on top of the stuff sprint network related form day one.
I was reading Sprint's press release for this phone and noticed this:
"HTC EVO 4G LTE is one of the first devices available with Sprint Professional Grade, a new designation for select smartphones that deliver enhanced security, device management and Exchange Active Sync capabilities to business users. "
I just hope this "Sprint Professional Grade" designation doesn't mean later on there will be another $10 add-on fee.
August 1st before I can upgrade...counting down the days

well thank god im not the type to keep my phones for long im to addicted to having the latest and greatest haha. havent even gotten this evo and already cant wait to see whats in store next summer
just checked out the anandtech preview seems legit and it actually is the only site i see that has mentioned it is an f2.0 camera! will have to go by them from now on. as for s4gru been checking there to see updates on the lte rollout its a great site
800 will first be for 1xadvance data and voice but they also have room for a small LTE carrier too on it in most places...1900 is doing the normal duties with LTE added...
Read around S4gru.com a ton and you'll grasp what all is being done here in the future...deff worth the time to read there imho.

Yeah I can not express how much better anandtech is for device reviews...complete 100% unbiased reviews unlike everyone else, and they also go wayyyyy more indepth than anyone making comparisons on there actually worth a Dang. Lol

Might just mean more bloatware. I hope not.I was reading Sprint's press release for this phone and noticed this:

its the different band class specifications that more specifically define the area of operation pretty much...
kinda like how Sprints LTE on 1900MHz area is in Band 25...
they haven't put a full blown review out on it yet i dont think. thatll come when its released or they get their early handset...

**BeatsAudio-> fully Integrated to work across ANY 3rd party app!!
*ImageSense: Completely revamped camera area...auto focus is 0.2sec, shutter time of 0.7sec
*Dual Shutter Camera Module->allows you to record video and take pics at same time9prolly starting a fire here with this post but......long as the discussion doesn't go nutty it should be fine...to me the pic below looks more space age than any other render yet....though the author of the article seems to think it looks the most realistic so i dont get that...
I love the docking station too

I would ONLY root it to get the hotspot working. With LTE, that $#!+ cray!
