I asked when I was on the phone with telesales and they said I didn't require a plan change.  I am still on the everything 1500 or whatever its called.

 

Ah good to hear - did you get that same error online?

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I have some urgent and horrifying news.   The Sprint variant HTC M8 has just hit the FCC OET this afternoon.  We will try to have further info

Are you feeling OK? You look a little ill. You should probably go home and get some rest.   Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

The HTC website list the upgrade price as being only $199.99 for Sprint.  I may try and call them to double check as I cannot get their website to connect to my Sprint account.

 

BestBuy Page is up and also showing a Sprint upgrade price of $199.99 but says coming soon on the order button.  Has both the Gunmetal Grey and Amber Gold (BestBuy Exclusive) colors listed.  Shouldn't be much longer I'd think.

Chat wouldn't budge on price.  Chat window popped up after I canceled my cart.  $249 + $21 tax.  Bad math.

Actually the sprint website was running slow as hell and I was getting a little frustrated with the process so I decided to just call instead and online chat support wasn't helpful either.

This phone looks astonishingly great. I really am disappointed by the s5 so it comes down to the next nexus phone to challenge the m8 for my money this fall. I'll be glad to hear everyone's thoughts on it, especially on the build quality/rf performance.

I am going to guess that you have to go to a store or call to get this upgrade done since I think online is now coded to just accept Framily plans or My Way plans.

Looks like I will be getting the galaxy S5.

Mind sharing why?

 

I'm leaning towards upgrading my phone to this, once it is available for us to order.

It is available to order via telesales or online.

Indeed, why? No one may share my mind.

Nope.  As I recall from my FCC OET research, the AT&T and T-Mobile variants support band 17.  That is no bueno for the Lower 700 MHz A block licenses that T-Mobile is in the process of acquiring.  Those band 12 handsets reportedly will be available later this year.

I see, understood! Thanks for the clarification.

It's likely optimized quite a bit for battery performance because so far reviews have said it drains at about the same rate as the G2. Hopefully that's the case because the G2 has a good reputation for battery life.

I have the G2 now and the battery is very good I avg 18 hours, with 60% auto brightness usually poor Sprint connection and over 2 1/2 to 3 hours of screen on. I have no complaint about the battery, plus it charges quick too. I sometimes plug it it while I get ready for work and with in 15 or so mins it will gain about 25% charge, that's not even using the Qualcomm quick charge thing since I haven't seen one yet.

I think I will go ahead and get the phone on contract now but keep my Evo until the ecsfb issues are completed

Tried ordering off of Best Buy, it shows as available to order, but not in store.  Add it to my package, get it all set up, then when I go to finalize the order, it kicks me out and removes it from my shopping cart.

 

:(

April 10th.

Any idea on Best Buy? I'm skeptical to order online because of the G2 fiasco.  They didn't know when my order would ship then and I didn't want to wait and had to get a supervisor after countless calls to cancel the order so I could get it the following day in store.  

 

Their site says it'll reach my location on April 1st, but I'd rather just pick it up in store.

I'm tempted to order because I'm impetuous. But I already have the nexus 5 original 2013 HTC one and the ONE max. I don't think I need it! But I want it!

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
