Sprint started putting 800CDMA voice in phones well over a year before it started showing up, and LTE 1900 phones were released over 3 months before the first LTE enabled tower was lit up for public use, so LTE 800 devices could potentially be released in the coming months.

 

Could be. However, past performance does not guarantee future results.

 

For an alternative, consider this possibility. Who knows what costs were associated with ensuring band class 10 CDMA1X 800 capability in all of those handsets? And the reality is that a large percentage of those handsets will have already been replaced by the time that CDMA1X 800 reaches most markets. So, maybe Sprint has learned from that experience and decided not to endure additional costs before the time comes because those costs may have very limited benefits.

You people disappoint me. This one was so ripe for wisecracks, and you let the opportunity pass.   AJ

Maybe so, but I will be keeping an eye out.

I still think it would not happen at least for another year.

Sooo if this does come out soon then i will have this and the HTC one to think about. Witch one will be better in terms of performance and specs?

 

Spec wise they will probably be the same. It is rumoured that samsung may use the exynos processor overseas and the snapdragon for north america. If thats the case then both the one and the gs4 will have the same s600 snapdragon with 2gb of ram.

themffinman is on to something there. I have several myself, one primarily for work and the other for personal... but they are more or less interchangeable. if work paid for mine i would have another, but it is great to have a spare device when the unfortunate happens.. whether a dead battery, charger, coverage issues, multitasking (as above) or countless other use case scenarios

The Note 2 does not support Google Wallet. Maybe it will via rooting or a custom ROM.

I have been thinking about buying the note 2, but will visa paywave work on it? I am excited to use wireless payments

 

I've used Google Wallet for the first time this week, at places that accept wireless payments. You should see the facial expressions of cashiers, and other customers waiting in line. Yes, jaws dropping to the floor, and they are like WTF! Lol! Yesterday, a cashier was so in shock, she grabbed a co-worker telling her what happened. Lol!

The Note2 latest update enabled google wallet. I just had to load the wallet apk manually since it hasn't been approved by google yet. Works fine.

There is something about side loading an app that has financial info that scares the hell out of me. I've been tempted to do that, but won't.

Fully understand but I would never put anything more than a true credit card anyways that I could just call up and reverse any charges if needed.

I've suffered from CC fraud so many times, you'd think I wouldn't be concerned about it. It wasn't a big deal in each instance and always had the charges reversed.

 

I guess I see GW as a minor convenience that its not a big deal to wait until it is supported.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
