Anybody heard of any Sprint LTE tablets here in the near future? I was thinking about picking up the Nexus 7 as my first tablet, but thought if Sprint were to release a LTE tablet I would pick it up if it wasn't too much on the monthly bill.

 

I would hope HTC would try to make a new LTE tablet for Sprint but unsure of HTC's tablet future.

Interesting topic and it makes me think that it may just happen, since Sprint did say that about 15 devices (I think it was 15) would be introduce by the end of the year that would be LTE. Its only natural to assume that tablets or a laptop would be one of them.

I'm hoping Sprint can release at least one decent LTE tablet soon. I have the HTC EVO View (which is getting old) and that's been discontinued with nothing comparable to replace it. They're falling way behind Verizon and AT&T at this time.

They may still release an iPad with Sprint LTE this year.

I pre-ordered a nexus 7, of course it is wifi only. So I added a 2gb of hotspot data to my sprint plan for $19.99. I expect to use my new tablet mostly on other wifi sources but when I am out and about, my evo 4g lte should take care of my needs pretty well. Of course now I have to wait on LTE service in my area.

Is iPad on the Sprint network a real possibility, and if so, when?

One of the reasons why Sprint was not included in the last iPad is because Apple does not want to put out a Sprint LTE iPad when there was no LTE network up and running. Folks would have gotten it and notice that the speeds were not there and blame Apple. Apple does not want that and understandably so. But it is my opinion that they will introduce the Sprint version once the LTE network is up and running in a few places. Whether that is this year I can't say for sure, but come to the network, it will. Now it doesn't have to be at a annual iPad unveiling either since I do believe Verizon got their iPad after AT&T's contract was up.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
