I ordered last night at around 7PM. I still have nothing.

 

HTC One is the loneliest number,

One is the loneliest number,

One is the loneliest number,

Much much worse than Two...

I called them earlier tonight and they said it is shipping tomorrow. Spoke to them a bit more and apparently they're shipping it overnight now. I'll believe it when I see it though.

Anandtech posted battery stats...better than G2 @ Web browsing.

That's pretty impressive.

Anybody notice this?

 

With the exception of the Sprint SKU, all of the remaining M8 SKUs feature Qualcomm’s QFE11xx envelop power tracker. In addition, all SKUs with the exception of the T-Mobile and Sprint devices use Qualcomm’s QFE15xx antenna matching tuner.

Details about the supposedly omitted parts.

 

  • Envelope Power Tracker (QFE11xx) – The industry’s first modem-assisted envelope tracking technology designed for 3G/4G LTE mobile devices, this chip is designed to reduce overall thermal footprint and RF power consumption by up to 30 percent, depending on the mode of operation. By reducing power and heat dissipation, it enables OEMs to design thinner smartphones with longer battery life.
  • Dynamic Antenna Matching Tuner (QFE15xx) – The world’s first modem-assisted and configurable antenna-matching technology extends antenna range to operate over 2G/3G/4G LTE frequency bands, from 700-2700 MHz. This, in conjunction with modem control and sensor input, dynamically improves the antenna’s performance and connection reliability in the presence of physical signal impediments, like the user’s hand.

Not gonna lie, this device is as premium as premium can get.  I won't be able to spend too much time with it until tonight though but for anyone on the fence, this is a definite purchase.

Delivered! Too bad it's at my house and I'm at work. :(

Are you feeling OK? You look a little ill. You should probably go home and get some rest.

I second this, I'm on my way to being a Doctor. You can trust me.

*Cough cough*  Hmm, now that you mention *cough* it, maybe I'm not feeling all that *cough* well.  I would hate to get my co-workers sick!

At first I thought this was a cdma issue but Verizon has them?? Could it be a problem with incorporating those with the triband network? Both of those things seem like they would be very useful for people on sprint and its growing network.

AJ, can you fill us in on what that Envelope Power Tracker and Dynamic Antenna Matching Tuner do (in layman's terms) and speculate why they are omitted from Sprint devices?  And what the effects of their omission might be?

 Well it still could be that they are not compatible with CDMA.  VZW's M8 is a world phone, Sprint's doesn't appear to be.

Sprint has a replaceable sim card and it is unlockable what makes the Verizon unit different? Are you saying Verizon has a unit that is like the nexus 5 where it can run on almost any carrier in the world?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
