...Anyway back on topic, with 15 LTE devices deployed in 2012 anyone want to guess how many will be deployed for 2013.

So far we have 12 with 4 coming in the fall, that still leaves winter/end of year.

Wow, Those are pretty good stats!

Wow, Those are pretty good stats!

Speaking of stats, I used to keep the number of phones that Sprint deployed each month/year but stopped doing it last year.

Here is the doc.

 

If you see the months that Sprint spits out the most phones/devices is both April and Nov. and the most deployed year was 2011 with 32 devices. (But thats not counting 2012 which is when i stopped doing the updates)

maybe I should start updating that list too.

Ooh! I think you should pick it back up, but I do think that 2012 was slower than 2011, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, did you count Nextel devices? Hopefully not.

They are pretty good. But I think that Sprint could be a little more aggressive with devices that they could compete better with the likes of at&t and Verizon. I really think that Sprint and Nokia should patch things up and release a device. I hear that Lumia's have become quite popular lately.

I'm guessing at least another 4 or so.

I wonder if we should add the Galaxy S4 Mini as an announced smartphone based on FCC docs today.

 

It's already on there. It's listed under it's model name, the SPH-L520, but now I can add the FCC date to the Note for it's entry.

Motorola X set for release on Fri, Sept 6th.  You can add that to the spreadsheet for release date.

Done!

 

 

It's direct ship/ online only at launch according to the stuff Sprint is telling the stores. We wont have any in store tomorrow. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

I'm quite surprised that they won't be in store. Disappointed, actually.

Can you add the Galaxy Note 3 as a place holder as well. Thanks.

I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks, check for it in the next 5 minutes!

Wish Sprint would let us know what version, but knowing their past history it would probably be only 32GB.

 

TS

Since all the other carriers are selling the 32 gb version at $299, u can bet that sprint will only sell the 32 gb model.

I doubt that will happen.  Sprint LTE is likely too niche for most laptop OEMs -- unless they are going for an all band configuration.  And I am not sure what is wrong with mobile broadband cards.  But mobile hotspots are where the action is, since they can be used with laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras, etc.  Plus, they tend to be great RF performers.

They need to ink a deal with Google placing Sprint access on select chromebooks. I think google had a similar deal with Verizon.

Might want to add the HTC One Max to the list for November. In Android and WP8 flavor maybe.

If you have any rumors at all placing it on Sprints network I will definitely add it.

 

EDIT: I will add it since evleaks recanted about the LG D820 this morning. And I just read the One Max forum and saw posted that he said the One Max is coming to Sprint.

Yes, "Rumours" is a great, legendary album.  But S4GRU needs to be careful about transacting rumors because we value our credibility above all else.

Most of the devices I add are based on rumors. Anything I find that is certified for Sprint I add, but so far it's only based on model number sequencing from existing Sprint model numbers.

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
