Sprint says this will help battery life, improve data coverage in buildings, and reduce mobile data usage for devices that don't have unlimited data plans anymore (like the EVO View 4G). To me, it sounds like this is just another push to off-load as much data traffic as possible onto other networks, so Sprint can keep data plans unlimited - and there's not really anything wrong with that.

Right now, it seems like the EVO 4G is the only EVO device to get this, but Sprint says it's coming to the rest of the lineup soon in the form of future OTA updates. Be sure to let us know if you notice any other changes with this update!
