Samsung GS4 SPH-L720T [TRI-BAND] (was "Sprint GS4 with Tri-Band support this Fall Official Thread")

S4GRU is supposedly a Sprint fanboy site, I guess.  But Patently Apple is egregiously an Apple fanboy site.  And it apparently relishes publishing inflammatory blog posts about Apple competitors.

 

Enjoy, I guess...

A disaster? Give me a break, Apple, Samsung and everyone else are now going to have to deal with phones being "good enough" so they getting new ones less often, especially when subsides die.

[SturgeonGeneral]

I'll be amazed if that motivates anyone to make a better phone.  They don't seem to listen well and make what they want more than the market seems to demand.  The market just seems to put up with it.  (Note all the people here who have "settled" for right now-vs best.)

 

Look at even this phone.  They could release a phone that people want and rescue them from obsolete phones giving them a bad continuing experience, but they instead hold it back to force people to "settle" for products they already have in hand.

 

It just amazes me.

The Sprint website now lists it as a Spark phone

Did you get it in a store? I haven't called yet but online shows no stock in San Diego. (I know we don't have Spark here)

Did you just ask for the 720T model or is that the default one now?

[lilotimz]

It's the default on sprints website.

Wait, does this mean it's time for a 'Samsung S4T Users Thread'?

Neither does Tim up in Sacramento but he was able to get it.

Aw, man, we are going back to 720T now?  The standard is 1080T.

When you get it in, can you please compare the Radio performance on B25 and 1x/3G to the N5?  Just curious because I noticed the original S4 had stellar RF performance - but was limited to SingleBand.

My sprint guy was wrong.

Bought it online.

 

Thanks for the heads up!!

 

Tuesday release.  On the EVE of a holiday.

A little later than within the week after Christmas I predicted.

 

It matched my personal predictions fairly well and everything I was given by others turned out to be rubbish.

 

Not a Friday, or a mid-month, or even in stores yet.  (You can check local store availability at the online order system)

 

Online gets the first sales.

Sprint cut it as close to their own predicted deadlines as they could, but they did it.

 

Do you suppose store stock will arrive before our online purchases deliver?  (5 business days)

Figure by next Thursday.

 

Yes, time for a new thread.

[Destroyallcubes]

Well I have to wait for a district manager to approve me getting a new device instead of a refurbished one ( 8 Bad refurbished in a row) so now I might be able to be fitted into this one!

They only went on sale last night.

Figure about a week before we get any performance evaluations.

 

I won't be of much use as a reporter until triband gets more built out in my market, but I won't have to switch phones early now to take advantage of it.

[SturgeonGeneral]

I just received my shipping confirmation email with a UPS tracking number on it.  Once that gets picked up and into UPS system tonight, I'll have an idea of when it will arrive here.

[lilotimz]

Guess what just came in?
