Sprint for me is history. (finally) Headed to AT&T

These are the exact reasons I am planning on switching from verizon when the 900 hits. According to AT&T's coverage maps I would be in a HSPA+ area where as I just have Verizon EV-DO. And I am looking forward to just switching a SIM. It's a pain to have to re-activate a phone every time I want/need to swap phones.

I've seen the speeds with Windows Phones on HSPA+. I was pleased with the speeds. One of the review units we had was the Nokia 800. It was an unlocked world phone and sat on AT&T roaming. Even while roaming, the speeds were far FASTER than what I can get on Sprint here in town.
 
Now, to give both sides of the story, Sprint is rumored to be interested in WP Apollo devices, so if you are on Sprint and are not due for an upgrade until later in the year, you may have a glimmer of hope.

Windows Phone 8 might run on Snapdragon S4, coming to Sprint late 2012?

However, I love my Focus S. Period, end of story. Yes, I will check out the 900 just to see a Nokia on a high end WP 7.5, and I will most likely buy a WP8 outright at some point. But the "S" is an amazing device. I cannot stop gloating to anyone who will listen.

The Titan is a fine HTC effort. If you are sold on it, you will not be disappointed. I do think you should tough out another month on Sprint just to see if the 900 would be worth it.

If you do not want to wait, have I given my opinion on the Focus S yet???
 
I left sprint for T-mo back in November after dealing with 9 months of dialup 3G speeds and failed resolution dates. I would pay almost $100 a month for this, now I have a comparable plan with T-mo that has 10GB of data, tethering,500 talk with nights and weekends,unlimited texts and speeds that never drop below 2mb/sec all for a lower price than what I was getting with sprint. Also T-mo is supposed to be rolling out LTe this year along with reformatting their network so that any phone could be used as well as expanding coverage.

There were also rumors before CES that Sprint would have some WP7 phones to announce. That obviously didn't happen. My main complaint with Sprint, and why I'm going to break my contract and go with AT&T as soon as the Nokia 900 is released, is because of the absolutely atrocious data speeds. It doesn't matter if Sprint conjures up a 16 core Windows Phone, their data network sucks. They wasted way too much money getting the iPhone rather than investing in their network, and now we as non-iPhone customers pay the price. No thanks. I'm outta there ASAP.

exactly! Dialup speeds in 2012 is just sad! I couldn't even stream a song on Zune or slacker radio without it buffering every 2 seconds. Now even on T-mobile 2G when I'm throttled I can listen to slacker,Spotify and even Zune (if I hold it). They kept telling me they'd look at the issue and fix it but it just kept getting worse and still is bad.
