Will you buy the galaxy nexus? Or wait for a quad core?

Thanks I personally am not getting a new phone until late January of '13 so I'll be getting either the iPhone 5 or more than likely a quad processing core. I've never owned a iPhone but I think I'm a android guy.

So when are we going to find out the specs of the GN? Is it really going to have a better camera and faster processor?

 

 

Highly doubt the chip and camera and vastly different from what verizons model has...

Why would they upgrade the internals vastly till the next Nexus device is launched?...it simply doesn't make much sense to change it much as it'd be like releasing a new nexus model which this is not going to be really...

Only reason there would be a change is to incorporate LTE but that's already done on the VZ model as is so no need to change for that...

There will be a lot of unhappy tech savvy perspective customers if it isn't upgraded. If they are getting the same model as Verizon, they should have stamped that leaked ad out right away. That said, I doubt that they will upgrade the specs as the Nexus devices have the hardware picked right off the bat and the OS developed around the hardware. On the other hand, if they are already changing the internals to accommodate Sprint's spectrum frequencies, why not upgrade the items that people are unhappy with?

 

I guess Sprint likes to keep us on the edge of our seats.

 

Edit: I wonder what it would do to Samsung's relationship with Verizon if they upgrade the handset for Sprint? I don't know that they have a very good relationship as is, then you add this kind of strain...

That's for sure. 14 more days until we know for absolute certainty what the specs will be.

Another reason it likely wont be updated..though the VZ Galaxy Nexus has the Samsung CMC221 for LTE though I know no specs on that lil thing...BUT I would be highly surprised if it didn't work with Sprint's LTE freq...Would think the actual antennae hardware and memory being the only thing different than the VZ model...

 

would be a first to use different hardware inside SoC wise b/w carriers on Nexus device im pretty sure...

Yeah, I was pretty sad when I saw the specs were the exact same as Verizon's. Not that big red's isn't enough I was just hoping for a bit more.

 

I hear you on that one.

    • 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?
