I'm hyped about getting mine.  Unfortunately I may not be able to use it on Ting by the time it arrives.

[S4GRU]

Mine just arrived!!!

Mine just arrived!!!

Booo!!!

[modplan]

Mine is here, but I could not find a SIM card at the closest 6 Sprint repair centers so I have to wait for Sprint to overnight me one and it will not be here until tomorrow. 

 

Oh well, stuck on WiFi for now.

Mine just arrived!!!

Lets get this party started!!

Lucky you got the 16GB model, I guess.

 

Can't confirm any 32GB models that have MEIDs loaded with sprint, sadly.

So give us some more information on the improved signal strength you mentioned. Were you saying it gets a stronger LTE signal than your HTC One? This would be some awesome news.

[MartialRanger23]

Woohoo! Looks sharp.

I am not 100% sure what signal check is picking up but its under "LTE", might need to try to get into an engineering screen to get more details on ACTUAL signal strength, but so far its showing some pretty incredible numbers.

Joey, you're looking over my shoulder as I do this.  You clown!

Can you confirm online that your phone has a valid MEID?  Or does it say "Hmmm… this number doesn't match our records, please try again."

 

Since you have a 16GB model, you should be good to go...

Installing the update now.  I will then plug in my ATT SIM first and check that out.  Then will do the Sprint SIM and try to authenticate.  And then try back ATT to see if it will go back after giving Sprint the MEID.  I'm concerned it may not go both ways once it is on the Sprint network.

Thus far, Sprint is offering on contract only the 16 GB models.  Is that why we think those ESN/IMEI/MEIDs are already in the system, while the 32 GB versions are not?

It definitely goes both ways.  You don't even need to activate - just enter the MEID into the device code box and see if you get the error when you click "check code".

Correct.  Now that we have even more evidence that this is the case, they'll hopefully be able to correct it.  I called google and let them know, so hopefully they are fixing it.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Dallas or Atlanta, Randall Stephenson...

I wonder how many nexus 5 devices was sold?

[S4GRU]

I like the camera. It's taking better pics than my Note 2. And I don't need more than 8MP. This using HDR+.

I see that we can get both the GCI and PCI just like the G2! Now I am very excited!

What's the significance of GCI and PCI?
