Sprint dropped a press release stating their Rev A plans. They’ll have it out to 220 million people at the end of 3Q 2007.

With Revision A technology, peak download data rates increase to 3.1 Mbps (from 2.0) and peak upload data rates increase to 1.8 Mbps (from 144 kbps). Average download speeds improve to 450-800 kbps (from 400 -700) and average uplink speeds become 300 – 400 kpbs (versus 70 – 144 kpbs). The faster data rates can enable richer applications and services such as high-speed video telephony, music on demand, video messaging, large file uploads and high performance push-to-talk capability.

So the download speed increase is a little disappointing, but the upload speed is getting a big boost. I wonder if reliability and frequency of slower fallback speeds will be improved. Consistency is just as important as speed.

Verizon? Your turn.
