The exact question was 'Can Sprint do EVDO'? EVDO is VZW baby as it is the abbreviation for 1x Evolution Data Optimized. However Sprint does have Mobile Broadband, which is probably the same thing but a different name.
It doesn't matter what it is called, but at least it should be called by whatever you want to talk about.
Do you call something a Kleenex or a facial tissue. They are both the same, but Kleenex is a brand name. I found the answer in about 30 seconds by using google, and the same could have been accomplished by the original writer.
Looking at Wiki, it is a CDMA technology, not a PCS technology. And I stand corrected, EVDO is the generic name, I apologize.

Ed,
I don't see anything on there that says Sprint can't do EVDO, unless I'm
misunderstanding your message below. Out of all the discussions I've
seen on HowardForums, TreoCentral, and looking at Wikipedia, I've never
seen anything about Verizon holding proprietary rights to EVDO. Maybe
they own the actual name "EVDO" but not the technology behind it?
Still, this is the first I've heard of such a thing. And even if true,
what does it matter what it's called?
