And the Sharp AQUOS Crystal was taken off the Sprint webpage today. I'll be surprised if it shows back up, but until then, RIP.

No CA. It's past its prime. C'est la vie!

Meh.  It was always a cheap, plastic handset.  And only a one off Sharp handset on Sprint was not enough to gain any brand name recognition in this market.

I want to buy one of these to play around with but I keep finding postpaid Sprint ones online (like ebay)? As far as I know, you can't activate the prepaid version on postpaid. How can I find the postpaid version?

 

I think the Sharp Aquos is pretty much dead and gone. I'm not sure of this, but I think it wasn't even a tri-band "Spark" -capable device, which basically every device now made for Sprint is capable of.

 

I really liked the look of the Aquos though, and am disappointed there wasn't a proper followup made for the Sprint network. I think Sharp has taken a dive though since, as they've sold their U.S. television division to HiSense, a Chinese company that makes cheap budget televisions that compete with other, arguably better Chinese companies selling budget televisions, such as LeEco/Vizio, among others that are more established.

It was a Spark device. Mediocre experience though, I picked one up for a week then returned it.

Hmm... Perhaps I was thinking about it not having carrier aggregation. I know when I had Sprint during one of the few trial periods, I briefly considered getting the Sharp Aquos, but I didn't want a device that wasn't capable of carrier aggregation.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
