This is some encouraging news. I finally broke down and tried using the Alltel Rom upgrade to get Rev A and GPS, but i still feel like there's a little bit missing in terms of connection speed. The worst part is that can't go to Sprint customer service with an "Alltel" phone. =0) I hope that this is going to be sooner rather than later like when we first heard about the ROM update coming out at within Q1.

It should be pretty soon now. PPCgeeks already has a leaked SPRINT rom here:

I'm using that right now with any problems because I'm impatient and something about that alltel wizard just bugs me...
