Nice layout, Josh! It looks like Sprint has already met their "quota," anything else is just a bonus. I would like to see a Nexus device as that bonus.

 

Thanks.

 

I would like to see a new Nexus as well.

That's doubtful. We're more likely to see a release shortly after the new year.

 

You are probably right since the Galaxy Note II was released today and the LG Optimus G will be the next major smartphone coming out in November.

 

I just don't want to see a long delay in the Nexus series phones after release since those are good phones. The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was obviously released way too late but granted Sprint didn't want to release it too early given that they weren't going to have LTE until this past July.

Honestly, I don't think we will have to wait that long. I anticipate a mid-January or early-February release. I'm just hoping for our sake that maybe Sprint will put in a request to bump the internal storage to 16/32GB.

Edited Original Post to include release dates for the LG Mach & the ZTE Flash, thanks to BenChase7 for finding the article with release dates.

 

The ZTE Flash brings Sprint's LTE device count up to 16 for 2012.

Added a JPEG of a Table showing SVDO & SVLTE Support on Sprint's Lineup of LTE Smartphones.

 

If anyone can help me figure out how to embed a table that works on this forum, that would be much better.

Does the EVO LTE get only a lowercase "4g" because of its connectivity issues?

Do as I often do for articles on The Wall -- build a spreadsheet in Google Docs, make it shared for anyone with the URL, take a screencap of the spreadsheet, then hotlink the screencap image in the article/post back to Google Docs.

That's a great idea. Thanks AJ.

Josh, Maybe update the Sprint Flash from "unreleased," to "released."

Whoa? When did that happen? Thanks for letting me know. If it was there yesterday, I totally missed it.

 

Update: The ZTE Flash, known as the Sprint Flash, was released today, November 13. It has been moved to the now released devices. As of today, Sprint is now selling 13 LTE devices, with 3 more on the way this year, 2 of which will be released before Thanksgiving, the iPad 4 & the iPad mini.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
