"Different enough from the Galaxy Victory to call it a new phone! Roll it out!"

4 inch screen.. probably not a bad option. But, does this mean the iPhone 5 with its "big" screen should really be called the iPhone Mini?

Bummed that its not going to be a very high end device. I know there are power users out there who like a smaller form factor and it would be great to have it as an option. Are there other Android or WM phones that fit the bill?

Nexus S still has no competition in its weight class as far as I can tell. Hard to call it high end these days though with single core, WVGA and no LTE.

Just saw that this mini galaxy phone won't have LTE, either. Sounds more similar to the Nexus just mentioned. Are there really no Android or WP8 LTE phones in a smaller form factor (say screen size of less than 4.5"). Maybe I'm alone in liking a smaller phone!

If the S3 Alpha would pop up on Sprint like it did in Japan I would go for that over the Note 2, my choice for my next phone.

The mini sounds like a step backward.

      A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time.

      Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.

      Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
