Its been pretty exciting lately, first the Note, then the LTE deployment news and Nexus info today! Sounding like a good way to start the year.

 

I'm Ben, live in Phoenix, Been a Sprint fan/customer for 10 years this August.

 

I've been lurking a while, and finally opened up an account cuz I liked the site so much, and I've been referencing it over at androidforums in the Sprint treads, and have heard good feedback. Way to go s4gru!

 

Quick question about the Network Vision upgrade related to 3G: In todays post s4gru mentioned that, "Sprint will be deploying Voice on 800MHz initially in one carrier with Network Vision deployments now under way. Sprint devices with CDMA capability on 800MHz will be able to use them right away." Now, will my Epic 4G Touch be able to take advantage of this when it is rolled out in my area??

 

Thanks again!!

-Ben

Ben. Thanks for the compliments and welcome to the site. The Epic 4G Touch will do voice on 800MHz on Network Vision towers. It will also run 3G on 800MHz, when and if Sprint ever deploys 3G EVDO on 800MHz. However, to run in Sprint's LTE on 800 that will come out in 2013, you will need to upgrade your device.

It's available. I just was waiting to complete Beta 2.0 before committing to a custom domain.

 

The forums have really taken off since we migrated to the new site last weekend. Much more than I imagined. I may have to reconsider waiting.

 

Also, :welcome: I'm glad you were able to sign in. Sorry about the issues you were having.

    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?  
    • Came back in operation between 7 to 9am.  Roaming on T-Mobile and AT&T never went out so most people would not have noticed.
