Has anyone got any inside information for the new evdo data cards yet from Telesales, FCC, etc. I could really take advantage of this with my existing 80$ unlimited plan. Cmon guys, we got info for the sanyo 5600 months ago while we've heard nothing about the cards! :p

Think existing cards, updated with newer chipsets, options and of course faster speeds.

I read some of the article, what is ev-do, highspeed wireless internet?

edit: nevermind, read up on it more, seems to be what I thought, would mind having that on my laptop but unless I get a treo, dont think I would need it on my phone, hahaha, I'll be downloading song requests on my treo lol. Now if I could only scrape up around 600 bucks.

No number of markets was stated in the press release, it will be simply 2 or greater, as they said "markets" in the press release text.

EVDO handsets are not much of a priority. There would be very little benefit for Sprint to offer these on launch.
