For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

In thinking the Moto X+1 will be nice. I have the Moto X and although the specs are very average the performance is really nice... And it's the first to update. They say the X+1 should be more competitive with the higher profile phones. Probably released in September.

 

First to update?

First to get Kit Kat. Will likely come out with the Lollipop software before others but just a guess.

Uhmmmm...... Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 4 all had Kit Kat before the Moto X. This will be the case as well when L drops.

Looking for suggestions; to which should I upgrade my galaxy S3?

LG G3 or Samsung Galaxy S5

 

I hate to be annoying but the HTC One M8 is better. It offers better build quality, design, software, software support, and customer service in general.

Not at all, the only thing I know about htc one m8 is my business partner got one and hasn't enjoyed it... But he did upgrade from an htc evo 3d and hasn't messed with it much.

My bad, I was referring to the 4.4.4 update. Android L will not be first released on any of the Motorola devices.

Paynefanbro is right. If it's not the Nexus 5, it's the HTC M8. The RF performance difference of the M8 is now minute to other standard devices, such as Samsung Galaxy S5.

My HTC Evo LTE had a weak radio and I'm not a fan on sense... Also rooting is over my head

For those reasons you should get the N5. Best radio to date and no sense.

I cannot say enough about this phone!

My votes would be N5 or M8 Play Edition.

 

EDIT: Let me add that the M8 Play Edition is not currently a Sprint capable device.

Sense 6 is the best version of Sense yet. Way less intrusive than previous versions. I went from the EVO LTE to the M8 and I can say I'm very satisfied. You should try it in the store before you disregard it.

I agree with paynefanbro, I went from evo lte to m8 also and I love the m8. Evo lte had a weak b25 radio, otherwise everything else was good on evo lte. You can always try it and see if you like it :)

Caught some monkeys on the Grandview HS site. Looks like the conversion process from GMO to full build is under way. Excellent!

 

I'm getting -113 dB of LTE in my apartment next to the G.H.S site pulling 9 MB down and .8 MB up. I'm guessing the LTE is coming from that site on edgehill though. I'm impressed with the signal strength seeing as how the site is so far away and my apartment building is made of concrete.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
