 No processor specs?  

 

Also just looking at the ram, display, and camera this must be a budget model tablet?  is that true?

Based on the bare bones specs, I smell "free tablet" with activation of a qualifying plan.

Well shoot and I was hoping that they would go all out and give us an 810 processor!  lol.

I would bet that it is not a Qualcomm SoC.  No mention of CDMA2000, right?

 

Look for a second rate processor and 3GPP baseband -- either in combo or separate.

Any new news about this tablet?  Back on September 10th, the local corporate Sprint store had just received their demo/display unit and was expecting the tablet to launch within a few days.  As of last night, the Sprint website still did not have it listed.

 

I'm thinking about picking one of these up for a family member, as long as the price is right.

The Sprint.com website now lists the Slate 8 Tablet for $10/mo on Easy Pay or $49.99 for a 2-Year agreement.

 

It also says "ALREADY A CUSTOMER? SIGN IN TO GET THE Slate 8" TABLET FOR FREE! Upgrades excluded. Req. new 2-yr. agmt./activation."  Free would be great, so long as they allow me to add it to my Family Share plan.

 

Also, the website does not list it as a Spark device, only LTE.  It could be that they just don't have all of the correct specs up there just yet.

The FCC docs support all of Sprint's frequencies so I would not assume it lacks the support.  Probably just not an updated specs page.

      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.

      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.
