Sprint 4G Rollout Updates

Thursday, September 5, 2013 - 5:33 PM MDT

 

About a month ago, our FCC OET reporter, Josh McDaniel, noted that a mystery handset, the LG D820, came and went from the FCC OET (Office of Engineering and Technology). Its authorizations were uploaded, then quickly rescinded, citing confidentiality reasons.

 

Well, today, the LG D820 authorization documents are back. And we are looking at a 3GPP/3GPP2 handset that runs nearly the full North American wireless airlink gamut:

  • GSM 850/1900
  • W-CDMA 1900/2100+1700/850 (band 2, 4, 5)
  • CDMA1X/EV-DO 850/1900/800 (band class 0, 1, 10)
  • LTE 2100+1700/850/700/1900/800 (band 4, 5, 17, 25, 26)
  • TD-LTE 2600 (band 41)

The only notable omission is LTE 750, VZW's currently boutique band 13 -- possibly left out for political reasons, since VZW has a strained relationship with Nexus devices, or for technical reasons, as band 13 has an inverted FDD uplink/downlink duplex. But in a nutshell, this handset looks like it could be headed to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint, covering all of their bases.

 

Here is the kicker, though. One of our moderators, Tim Yu, noted a significant resemblance between the back plate in the FCC OET filing and the back plate of a mystery Nexus device in a widely circulated photo recently from the Google campus.

So, you be the judge. Based on the specs and pics, does the the LG D820 look like it could be the upcoming Nexus 5???

 

More to come...

Time to revive this old thread.  It is available for pre-order now and my only legitimate gripe is that there is only a 16gb version available on Sprint.

 

 

Of course some may take offense at the price seeing as Sprint is charging $449 for the 16gb model and a purchase direct from Google goes for $349/16gb and $399/32 respectively.  I have no problem buying devices outright but have a hard time stomaching the limited onboard space available on devices lately.

 

I bought mine from Google for $449.00 and got the 32gb version.Sprint has to pay techinicans and slectricity so they have to try to make moeny. No big deal since Goole is the obvious choice to buy these.
