I wish they would stop throwing a damn S in front of every random (or should I say relabeled/re-branded) feature!

 

Hopefully the Note 3 will come in some uber special translucent edition, that would be just tits

The press release says that the first LTE model will be FDD only and later in the year a TDD-LTE model will be released.

I think it geared to users like me that have the galaxy s2. I like the 5inch screen note is to big. The us version is getting 4core cpu. You don't need an 8 core in a phone. Now that it supports the 800mhz band im picking it up when ever they decide to tell us a release date.

Did I miss something? I haven't read anything that says it supports Sprint's LTE Band 26 (SMR 800), other than people drawing that conclusion on their own.

Gizmodo has a writeup here on all the features. They seemed underwhelmed some - they felt it was too similiar in appearance to the SIII (cue Apple and the iPhone similarity of appearance) and some of the features meant it "wasn't the droid you were looking for" (groan).

It is funny how if you don't upgrade the case, 60% of the people yawn. It is definitely a solid generational upgrade. And there is a lot of innovation tech they are trying out to see if it takes.

 

This reminds me of all the whining when the iPhone 4S came out. Samsung is getting a little taste of their own medicine. Remember the Samsung ads mocking Apple fans, who asked of the 4S, "How will people know I've upgraded??". :hee:

The gs4 will probably still sell like hotcakes but it seems like the general consensus is that most tech sites still prefer the One over the gs4 even though the gs4 is packed with so many additional features, weird. For what its worth though, I prefer the gs4's design a hell of a lot more than the gs3's "pebble look".

They are probably referring to CDMA 800, not LTE 800. And I would not consider that a reliable source.

Still not trustworthy. They have redacted twitter info before as have other carriers.

 

I can't wait for this device to go through the FCC oet though.

How long does that take.

Without knowing when Samsung submitted the application (which is not public knowledge), it is difficult to guess except to say that it will happen by the time Samsung releases the phone.

They could also be referring to the dreaded "Cellular 800 MHz."

Do we know whether it will or won't support SVDO or is that something we have to wait for it to come out of the FCC to know?

 

Mark my words, it will not support SVDO. No new handset has in over six months.

SVLTE is fine with me at this point although my Note 2 and SGS3 both had an active data connection while on the phone in a 3g area. So who knows

    • 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). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They 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, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs 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. 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.  
    • 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.
