  1. Okay then Sprint's operating income is $310M for the 2015 fiscal year, NOT THE QUARTER when you were blatantly WRONG, and T-Mobile's was $2B for the year of 2015. I was wrong on T-Mobile's number but I didn't come out swinging based on the assumption that I was posting a quarterly result. You acted like you're superior and more educated, and you're still wrong on your assumption. And you know what they say about people who assume, so do us both a favor and stop talking.
  2. Have you ever heard of reporting financial statements at the end of the FISCAL year? Which ends in MARCH? The only one who has no idea WHAT they're talking about is you.
  3. Sprint's annual income statement posted in March 2016: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/s/financials?query=income-statement
  4. I didn't say quarter, I didn't say anything. It was for the entire year, so don't assume I don't know how to google and read English.
  5. It's an exciting time for LTE if you're with T-Mobile, they never seem to miss a beat. VZ and AT&T are trying stuff, but they're too fixated on 5G right now to pump more out of what they currently have.
  6. Yet Sprint's operating income is $310M, while T-Mobile's is $3.8B. Those numbers, IIRC, wouldn't be affected by debt repayment or taxes, only net income would be.
  7. The iPhone was dual core until last year, and the iPhone 7 is quad core but only uses 2 cores at a time depending on whether you need high performance or battery efficiency. More cores does not always mean better performance, otherwise AMD would be everyone's go to. It's all about instructions per cycle efficiency, and that's something Apple & Snapdragon have really mastered.
  8. Hey, when you've been with Sprint for nearly 20 years and your bill is at $270, and everyone else has better service and the rates are better PLUS integrated tax or free phones, the grass looks much more greener. Sprint isn't terrible but they're not trying to keep us with them, it's like our loyalty means nothing to them meanwhile current customers on other networks get all sorts of bells and whistles. I'm not asking for free stuff on Tuesday or movie tickets for friends or whatever, but if you can cut my rate to $230 and maybe possibly throw in hotspot, that would be pretty nice.
  9. I desperately want to jump this ship. Can't get parents onboard though, they never had any other service provider than Sprint so they find the whole process complex
  10. I tried getting them to give me the $160 for 4 lines deal with waived subsidy fees, we're customers for 18 years. The bill is almost $270 and new people get away with much less. It's ridiculous, they couldn't work something out and they're fine with me switching.
  11. A few people in the subreddit say that they'll be offering Unlimited Freedom with HD + 10GB Hotspot for existing customers and they'll waive the subsidy fees. Some of the employees confirm it, so I guess we'll see tomorrow.
  12. Gonna call tomorrow and see if they're willing to waive the subsidy charges because if I switch to that plan my bill will go up $40, which is a joke. Legere was right, these fees and taxes are absolutely ridiculous
  13. Employer discounts still work on these new plans? My dad is a government employee, and if I get 15% then hot dog
  14. New Unlimited Freedom plan shows for me, but I still get pegged with subsidy charges. Painful
  15. I can't wait to see the welcome basket Legere offers all of us once we come aboard. He's gonna be happy to have an extra 30M postpaid subs. I wonder what's gonna happen to Virgin & Boost..
  16. A month ago, I was really against the idea of the duo merging because it would hurt competition. At this point I'm for the merger because SoftBank clearly is not trying to fix Sprint.
  17. None of that is happening. T-Mobile is getting Dish. T-Mobile's financials are superior, and at this point I doubt DT wants to give them up. 5 years ago T-Mobile US was a burden but now it's an easy way to make money, it would be stupid for them to throw that away. Acquiring Dish would mean DT gets even more value and income, so there's no reason why they would want to throw away a great opportunity like that. AT&T will not get T-Mobile because, first of all, they cannot afford T-Mobile with all the debt they've created through major multi billion dollar purchases, and second of all, no one will let them get away with it. All eyes are on AT&T for the crap they're trying to pull with Time Warner. And again, even if AT&T COULD do it, I doubt DT would throw away a crown jewel.
  18. So I'm sleeping over my girlfriend's dorm in Chelsea, running off a -104 signal. Band 25 second carrier! And it's actually pretty damn fast because I was streaming 720p 60fps YouTube last night without buffering or quality being all over the place. I'm very impressed!
  19. Yeah I think whoever reported successful wifi call handoffs experienced a fluke. On the brighter side, the new carrier settings alongside iOS 10 for Sprint hangs onto LTE sooooooo much better in my personal experience.
  20. If you smash your screen with Apple Care+, repair is only $29, and any other damage resulting in replacement is $100. This beats out the Sprint insurance deductible. It also means you do business at the Genius Bar, not with Sprint.
  21. It most likely does not support 4x4 MIMO because the AT&T and T-Mobile model is separate from Sprint & VZ's. The GSM model is believed to use an Intel modem that does not have any support for 4x4 MIMO.
  22. When done right, OLED is the better display in terms of color, saturation, and contrast. It can't be beat. LG's OLED 4K HDR TVs are wonderful. However, in a phone you wanna go for LCD. While OLED should save battery when blacks are on, it actually uses more energy than any LCD to produce certain colors like white. So while it'll look great on a phone, LCD is ultimately better for battery life since the energy consumption between color production is constant.
  23. Nice! Any chance we can see it happen mid conversation tho?
