I got good answers about 800Mhz CDMA but does it do 1xRTT for Sprint
roamers?

If so is it just as fast as 1900 1xRTT?

Thanks,

Evad

Speed isn't dependent on the frequency the carrier uses. If it was, Verizon
might have some problems as all of their networks are 1x-equipped, but not
all are 800 MHz. (Most are, but some - primarily in Texas and Florida - are
1900 MHz, and some have had 1900 MHz coverage overlaid on top of 800 MHz
coverage.)
