If it's true that Sprint/HTC is making and update then I think it's best to wait because the instruction to root and further unlocking the Evo features is a pain in the neck although very tempting.. ]]>Jun 23rd 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/Jun 23rd 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/

First the frame cap, then n-capabilities. Both seemed to be included but commented out afterwards.

FCC maybe? (at least regarding the n network capabilities, not a valid explanation for the frame cap issue)

The improvements that you would get from having a second antenna in a phone would be marginal at best.

"you don't need wireless n speeds"

That's the best excuse you can come up with? You know what you have to do to an iPhone 4 for it to have wireless n? You turn it on. But sure, keep making excuses for why the Evo doesn't have it by default.

Additionally, nobody should be turning wireless n on the Evo. You know why? Because you don't need wireless n speeds on a phone. That is what you said, right? You don't need it?]]>Jun 23rd 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/evo-4g-gets-802-11n-wifi-by-changing-two-lines-of-code/
