Sprint's coverage maps aren't as detailed as Verizon's so sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what they cover. I've seen reports at evdoforums.com that the maps are not up-to-date and that there is coverage in areas where the maps don't show any. Some have reported that's also true of Verizon. The maps show that Verizon has coverage in Barstow, Laughlin, along the 15 on both sides of the CA-NV border and in Mesquite while Sprint does not. Sprint shows coverage in Pahrump, Reno-Sparks, Carson City and South Lake Tahoe while Verizon does not. > > I would expect that they'd both be around the same speed since both are > based on similar technology.
