Dear frequency fairy. It's me again. I know your probably tired of me asking and I hope it is within your power to help a poor lost cellular soul realize a world where sprint is on top and has a natio

Actually, the various Galaxy Note 3 FCC OET authorization docs must have been trickling in over the past few minutes because there are more now, including this one:   https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/

A pretty funny comparison video between iphone 5s and note 3.

Pretty true , except in our case the note 3 suffers mono band-leosis , which symptoms include loss of LTE signal in tunnels , subways , basements , and any building with thick walls, the doctor only gives it another 2 years max life span... It's a crippling illness , But there is a vaccine in the works , one that sprint says will help any future Phones made in 2014 Edited by Deverauxman

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Problems: European And American Models Are Region Locked

http://www.ibtimes.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-problems-european-american-models-are-region-locked-1411342

Android central answers this well..

'Unlocked' EU and American Note 3s only region-locked if you first 'activate' them with an unapproved SIM —​ and even then, there's a way back

Kinda cheesy...  turned into a bunch of numbers.  Gotta be quick and to the point with comedy and not drag it out.

I just had that conversation at work yesterday.. With exception that the iPhone fan didn't know any of the numbers.. They would say why their iPhone was great and new.. And I'd explain why it's not. Back and forth all night... It was fun for me... Everyone else maybe not lol

 

Iphone fans remind me of Pittsburgh steelers fans trying to explain how their team is so great yet still 0-3

Good info.

Like I said I really don't follow this much anymore as the 3 is off my wishlist because of the lack of 800 and 2600 LTE.

I understand.. It's a bummer for me as well... Though the world phone for me and my situation in the coming year or so works well... I think I'll get it on the one up program

 

I have at least 3 trips planned to Europe in the next year.. And lte is still in its infancy in phx.. In 12 months I can upgrade with the one up... So by then to a tridand phone.. It's also nice my normal upgrade isn't till February so getting a phone 5 months sooner is a win win win... But yes im still bummed about no trip band... But... For me right now not my number one priority...

Not "cheesy" -- I hate the non culinary use of that word, by the way.

 

Rather, the video is obviously a take off on the famous iPhone 4 vs HTC EVO Xtranormal video from three years ago.  It repeats the iPhoners common refrain of "I don't care" unless it is an iPhone.

Would corny have worked? Errrr... Well I could have said the word for excrement but that could have been the same as well depending on the individual ;)

 

Now, the iphone4 vs EVO LTE was spot on funny! Wish someone would do one like that for the 5.

Looks as though Lenovo is going to be bringing a smart phone to the US.  The Vibe Z has pretty solid spec's (rumor) and also a 5.5" screen.

 

If it comes to Sprint and it's tri-band, this could be a very suitable replacement to the Note 3 enthusiasts who were disappointed in the LTE support.

This is just a rumor of course...  Someone in my state of WI in our forums has been in contact with a Samsung engineer that does testing.  Supposedly their test vehicle(s) will be getting LTE 800 equipment soon.  WI isn't a fully developed market, either.  So very likely LTE 800 will be available sooner than some may think!

 

So having to wait 2 years to take advantage of it, signing a contract for the Note 3, would be a mistake :(

If the Note 3 can be used as a world phone with sim cards?

 

Could you potentially use a tmobile month by month sim or boost mobile type pay as you go plan?

 

That is, could one use another service provider besides sprint with a sprint branded note 3 in the united states or would it only work with international sim cards?

Samsung is pretty good at blocking this for sprint. It may work at some point and it may not.

I've has the same thought. I am committed to Sprint, but I'd love to have an AT&T prepaid SIM in the phone while waiting for their NV build in Phoenix to be completed.

 

I ended up buying a nexus 7 w/LTE and I carry both the tablet and my phone around currently.

No mention of LTE radios though..

Single band LTE.

 

The Galaxy Note 3 has already shipped to some stores, and is going to be sold on Friday.  It is impractical to suggest the devices they are about to sell haven't passed through the FCC. The article below goes over the FCC filing for Sprint's GN3.

So is there a reason why Sprint lists this: GSM: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1,800MHz and 1,900MHz; HSPA+/UMTS: 1,900MHz and 2,100MHz; Data roaming: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA+ and WCDMA ?

 

Is that merely referencing the international capabilities?

 

Since it lists GSM, can it take a ATT sim card or Tmobile sim card for a monthly plan?

I may get a N3. The battery is better than the speculation of Nexus 5. Screen is bigger and so on. The only downer is 1 band of LTE. In San Diego, I am thinking it may not be a bad choice for 1 Year. My thought is that I could pass the phone to one of my other accounts whrn something I like better comes along.

No.  Your question was already answered above.  Did you not see that post?

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
