Recommended Posts

The international Note III (SM-N9005) just passed through the GCF. It supports:

 

LTE 2100/1800/850/1600/800Mhz (Band1,3,5,7,20)

WCDMA  2100/1900/900/850Mhz

GSM 1900/1800/900/850 Mhz 

 

Hopefully we will see our version come through the FCC soon!

The latest leak of the note 3 looks great. I really like the squared look and almost no bezel, still hate the physical home button though. This is going to be a tough decision.

I'm hoping the Galaxy S5/Note 4 stretch the display down to the bottom and use on screen buttons already. More screen real estate. The physical buttons are so old fashioned to me.

I now have 3 batteries and 2 chargers that will charge them outside the phone. Once pair lives at work.

The 2 chargers and 2 spare batteries were less than one of those. But thanks for the headsup.

Physical buttons are best!

Whats wrong with old fashioned?  I happen to be a big fan of it.

It's just after using both physical and on display buttons, I find physical buttons take ever so slightly longer to use. Just a personal preference.  I also like having multitask as a button instead of having to hold down the home button. Again, slightly faster. Not going to stop me from buying the Note 3 though.

Yea, I guess it is just preference.  I have many friends that love or hate a phone purely on the physical buttons.  I guess that is one of the reasons I love the Android ecosystem.  There are so many choices that at least one of them is bound to fit your needs.  I imagine it is a pain for developers though to have to deal with so many options of screen sizes/button layout and versions.

Having using both onscreen buttons and capacitive buttons I think I prefer capacitive buttons. On screen buttons simply takes up screen real estate compared to when using capacitive buttons.  The home button on the galaxy phones I think is just hideous looking and they should make the home button a capacitive button as well.

I don't mind the hard buttons, however I do wish they were consistent... either all 3 hard buttons, or all 3 capacitive buttons. Or just get rid of all of them and use software ala nexus.

 

I also really miss the dedicated multitask when driving, its difficult and dangerous to try to hold down the home button to get the recent app menu.

After looking at the moto x in person at the ATT store which they use onscreen buttons and is supposely a 4.7 inch display, I was very unimpressed. The screen size usability is so small because the onscreen buttons take up so much of the screen real estate. In fact when i sized up my photon 4g screen (4.3 inches) with the moto x screen minus the onscreen buttons, it matched perfectly. So in reality the moto x true screen size is 4.3 inches.

 

I prefer capacitive buttons and the physical home button on the samsung phones and i hope they dont plan to muck with that anytime soon.

I was very unimpressed as well, because they did not stretch the Moto X display down at all. I agree it is better to have physical buttons if the display is not stretched to the bottom of the phone. I'm waiting for phones to have no bezel anywhere, just a screen.

Is it just me, or is this launch that is freakin' TOMORROW been more sealed up than even an Apple launch? Very limited leaks the last few weeks... I can't wait to see what they have to offer though (when are they going to do this thing, anyone know off the top of their head?  I know it is in Berlin so it should be pretty early here, right?)...

I think they have done a spectacular job keeping the leaks to a minimum, especially with their smart watch. It's going to be at 12:00PM Central, and I'm going to be watching it. :tu:

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
