Very fast and good coverage areas. Sprint was very aggressive in going to EvDO rev.A from rev.0 and that is reflected in the high performance numbers. I'd never consider 1XRTT reasonable speed, but that's a whole different discussion. We did have some customer service issues when trying to convert accounts from personal to corporate (it took 3+ months), but the general stuff they seem to manage pretty well. I worry that they are going to go under with the way they are losing customers, but as long as they stay in business I love them for data services. I'm keeping my voice on VZW because everyone I talk to is on it, effectively making my low minutes plan much bigger, but otherwise Sprint seems pretty good, as long as you stay in the cities.

I've yet to run into anywhere I couldn't get a solid signal. EVDO coverage isn't everywhere, but in those cases it dropped back to 1x which is STILL faster than EDGE on T-mobile (or AT&T).
