So couple days ago @evleaks posted the picture of Nexus 5 and said 11/1. I just tweeted him the following: "So Nexus 5, is it 10/31 or 11/1 ?" and he sent a direct message saying: "Can't it be both? Time zones!"

 

My new rumor is announcement today 10/31, start ordering tomorrow 11/1

Which is awesome...you know, in the weakest form of the word.  It at least might let me hold on a little longer if indeed we have to buy a Sprint specific variant.  If it's directly from the Play Store (or better yet, if Amazon sold it at the same price), I'm in 100%.  If I have to buy from Sprint like the GNex, I'm going to need to mull it over.

 

Anyway, so the next rumor is pegged at roughly an hour and twenty minutes from now.  At least we're talking those kinds of timetables instead of days or weeks at this point.  :D

I'm at work, but id call your local best buy or sprint store and ask if they have v the n5 in stock.

 

It can't hurt, but it could c give you a leg up on getting your hands on one.

Stores in my area didn't know that the Note 2 was coming out the afternoon before I was standing in line for it.

Called my local store and the rep said they haven't heard any communication about having them in store.

Pity that the store employees are typically so woefully uninformed, or we could infer that the Play Store version = Sprint version.

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
