One major difference is that you get full speed data and free calls in a number of Latin American countries.

However, in the other covered countries (the list is smaller than Tmobile's but growing), Sprint says the throttled speed is 64 kbps. which is half of Tmobile's 128 kbps.

Anyone have any experience with this 64 kbps roaming? Could you get anything done at all?

Not on the roaming aspect, but I can tell you other than e-mail or iMessage 64k is not enough to do anything really. 128k is about as low of a speed that can be considered acceptable. T-Mobile is now including LTE access in Canada and Mexico, which is a pretty big difference.
