Elop alludes since Nokia is all in with WP, Nokia will dominate and make the best WP phone on the market, and other OEM's are hedging their bets on WP. With MS ready to subsidize the marketing for the Lumia 900 this just may garner the critical mass MS has been looking for to propel WP forward. The Lumia 900 looks like a great product. I'll call it now. Sprint will get a Nokia LTE phone to release this fall.

The moniker "The Worlds First True Windows Phone" rubs a lot of people the wrong way. I'm sticking with my prediction that no WP product gets released on the Now Network until after the next iPhone release. But even Sprint VPs have said that they'll probably offer it August/September time frame. So I guess I'm sticking my neck out there trying to think in a way that I think Sprint thinks. Can I say "think" so many times in one sentence?

I would have to agree with you on that one. I think a lot of people are excited for another "superphone" maker to join the arms race and release another flagship phone to consider. If Nokia can get past their problems with CDMA, which I think they will, I don't see any reason Sprint won't see a Nokia Windows Phone this year.

    • Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
