I picked up the Go Phone version of this phone the other week in case one of my kids breaks their phone. Paid $39.99 for it. Not a bad phone. It's only 512 RAM so you get some "resuming" and "loading". No double tap to wake or ambient light sensor but that's not the end of the world. Music player is still horrible despite a dozen updates. IE still needs work too. It crashes too easy. To be fair I'm running the Preview for Developer software.

The DP is the cause of the crashes, I am running stock 8.1 and the music player works great.

Now THAT is a good deal. How in the world are they making $ off that?

We currently sell a htc desire for 216, and the sharp, lg vigor and galaxy s 3 spark all for 240. If they can make those devices cheap enough to sell for those prices then 168 isn't really a stretch. Plus the phone just feels cheap when I've played with our demo. So I'm sure its production cost are low.

It piqued my interest because it's cool to see wgie much fluff is in your smartphone vs how much is NEEDED to deliver a functional pgobe.

Is anyone actually using this phone?  i've always wanted to try WM for the heck of it, but would be too much of a downgrade from my Note 4 to even tinker with.

I was actually just in the Microsoft Store yesterday and played with it for a bit. The software really handled the low specs well and ran smoothly.

 

I've always been a fan of WM. I really hope Sprint picks up the the new flagship lumia 940. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

YES! That (XL version) and the Surface 3 LTE, both on Sprint, would absolutely make my day.

I have a 635 running on RingPlus, was only $40 at Best Buy. FCC RF ratings are pretty good. No SignalCheck but I'll use the debug menu if I need to :)

 

Plus MS gives updates to anyone who wants it in their insider program, so I'm running v. 10.

 

B41 is 7-10 dB better than my Note 4.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
