LG G2 -- the first Sprint tri band LTE handset (was "LG Optimus G2")


Thai

Got to play around with the Verizon model today, liked it... I really wish the Note 3 was tri-band though, really like the large screen.

Interesting development on my Best Buy order: I placed my pre-order on the 11th, and a Pending charge showed up on my credit card. After a few days the Pending charge disappeared without any actual charge going through. Today the Pending charge has reappeared! Might mean that they are going to charge me and ship soon, maybe. No change on my Order Status online though, still says "Order In Process"

I got my case in the mail. It really does exist, despite not showing up on Ballistic's website. I got it for $30 on eBay.

Not much difference in size to my Evo 3D with Otterbox Defender case. In fact, my Otterbox makes my Evo significantly thicker than the LG G2 in the Ballistic Maxx case.

Not bad.  I got my case in the mail from Amazon, it was the Diztronic and I actually got one coming in from someone on Reddit I think Poetic case?  Going to decide on which one I want to keep once I try them both on.  The Poetic one looks nice but I am unsure of how much I like it compared to the Diztronic one.

Now if we only had a phone to put in the case...

I am a Best Buy Premier Silver customer (or whatever it is calling the highest echelon theses days). My order is processing and cannot be canceled. It should ship soon, so there you have it...

I love the protection of the Ballistic case but what annoys me is the rubber corners which makes the inside of my pocket come out when I remove it.

Minor to some, but pseudo-major to me.

Otterbox Commuter is my current favorite.

Just my $.02

The best case is no case. Do not be a klutz. Problem solved. And enjoy the design of your handset.

Ballistic now shows the Maxx on the website. My wife is now upset I didn't get her one despite her being adamant about not wanting a bulky case. Hopefully she will like her Otterbox Commuter that I got her. We shall find out tomorrow.

That's nice in theory, but I work in group homes and at a school for intense behavior mentally handicapped children and adults. My phone gets picked up and thrown, stepped on, dropped while dealing with incidents at work and sometimes while in my pocket, it'll get smacked into a doorway or wall. I need all the protection I can get when it comes to my phone or it won't last long.

Screenshot please. The other box from earlier in the thread had just 1900mhz listed.

Not sure if I can take a pic. I could potentially lose my job but I will ask. I will double check but I'm pretty sure it listed tri-band lte.

Saying you don't want to be a klutz and actually not being a klutz are two completely different things. ;) At least it is for me.

In case anyone missed it earlier, this is interesting:

Thank you very much for that information. Now I know to order the T-mobile version and NOT the AT&T version.....

 

What is that mic on the back next to the flash for anyways on the AT&T version?

More noice cancellation. There is a specific feature in the camera app that lets you zoom in on a person's voice and trys to block other sounds

I'm really looking forward to reading about RF results from this device. Being an HTC Evo 4G LTE owner, I've seen my share of reception issues. With a tower a couple of hundred yards away, I'm getting anxious for user reports.

Okay so the box does say only 1900mhz for lte.

The box was confirmed awhile ago to only list 1900 MHz LTE when someone took a pic of it.  Not a big deal.

Hmmm... I could be wrong, but that doesn't seem to fit the description of "tri". What you're saying looks more like "uni" - or is that "mono"? Is it time to edit the title of this thread? :(

no need to edit, FCC docs clearly showed tri-band... as did sprint page a while back before they got rid of saying that

    • 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?
