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.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • 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?
