brucebarringer Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What happened to Baltimore? It was supposed to be in the first group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericdabbs Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think this is a smart move by Sprint PR. Instead of just launching 2 markets by end of June and then launching a few more in July, combine them with the July markets except for Baltimore. This gives all the LTE launch markets another 2.5 weeks to get their act together and get as many NV towers up as they can. I am too curious why Baltimore is not part of the initial LTE launch markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuffinman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yes, I knew it was gonna be on july 15th, that was my guess all along. My reasoning for my guess was because of the current evo lte give away currently going on at sprint that ends July 15th. Also, my birthday is July 15th as well 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuffinman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 you better not buy anymore phones. Well, I have been thinking seriously about selling my gnex and replacing it with a gs3. Like I had mentioned in another thread, my gnex doesn't like it when I travel, it takes on a mind of its own whenever I am not in atlanta. I will probably keep it though, since more than likely my gnex will see a jellybean rom well before any other phone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielholt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 so youre getting 3 different LTE phones.... sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Never did Sprint say any of these markets were launching together, or that Baltimore would launch in conjunction with any specific city. Each of these market deployments is completely independent of each other. I'm actually they announced five for July 31st. I was expecting Kansas City to possibly be held back also with Baltimore. All of these markets were slated for a Mid 2012 launch. Mid 2012 is roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day. If Baltimore is not launched by the first week of September, then it can be called late. As we mentioned in our article, it is no surprise that Baltimore is not launching. Alcatel/Lucent doesn't even have their first LTE site up and running in the market yet.

VW Maverick Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Very cool. Can't wait. danielholt: Really bad timing for you since you said you are leaving the Atlanta/Athens area. I guess you are going to a undisclosed non-LTE location? Mav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 so youre getting 3 different LTE phones.... sigh. baltimore shmaltimore, lets hear more about muffinman hoarding phones..... Robert is the one hoarding all the phones. I do have 3 lte devices on my account though, my girl has an evolte and I have an evolte and gnex. I am not ballin' like Robert yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I might pick up a Viper since they are relatively inexpensive ($200) on eBay. Just so I have a phone that isn't as expensive to replace as the GSIII. If I do that though, I will drop TEP since it's now eleven bucks a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leerage Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wonder if there will be some kind of OTA for the EVO LTE before July 15th then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansltx Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'll be in Fort Worth for a few days starting the 18th, after which I'll probably end up in San Antonio for a few hours at least. I'll be sure to test out LTE thoroughly while I'm there. I can even compare with T-Mobile (DC-)HSPA+ and Verizon LTE...though the comparisons might not be fair since I'm comparing effectively data cards (T-Mobile Rocket 3, VZW iPad 3) with a phone.

S4GRU Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The only LTE device I'm missing at this point is a Viper. If they are only $200 cash, maybe I should look into getting one? It'd be great for the radio performance test. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
