I didn't see a thread for this phone yet so I thought I'd start one. Its the one plus made by CyanogenMod. It only costs 300 for a 16gb or 350 for 64gbs of storage and has specs to beat the current flagship phones. This seems like a phone to do battle with the n5, assuming the rf performance is good. What are everyone's thoughts?

 

Here's a review of it on Tom's hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/oneplus-android-smartphone-google-cyanogenmod,26610.html#xtor=RSS-998

Doesn't work on Sprint? Only a GSM/WCDMA/LTE Device? Damn...

I'm thinking/hoping that a sprint version will be released later and its just a triband issue holding it up. Not sprint wanting to keep a phone that cheap off their network... It sounds astoundingly good and I'm waiting for first hand opinions on it to come out.

Nope.  I will eat my words, but I doubt it.  A cheap Chinese handset is never going to support CDMA2000 -- not to mention, Sprint's quasi boutique LTE bands.  So, the thoughts here will be minimal.

Both Sprint and Verizon are ignored, they will never have CDMA chipsets.

 

Currently, handsets that use Qualcomm LTE capable chipsets also have CDMA2000 capable chipsets.  But that capability will not be implemented.  Count on it.

 

CDMA2000 is dying.  And the namby pamby Eurasian centric rest of the world is basically flipping the bird at VZW, Sprint, and by extension, the US.  It pisses me off to no end.

I didn't know that about the Qualcomm chipset.  I wonder why they are ignoring such a large segment of the market skipping Verizon and Sprint.  Perhaps they didn't want to deal with trying cut a deal to get the IMEI's registered for CDMA to function properly or maybe or was a licensing thing for utilizing the CDMA chipset.

Yes, unless my memory is failing me, all of the Snapdragon chipsets that support LTE are full 3GPP/3GPP2.

 

But it is probably a licensing issue with Qualcomm.  None of the major domestic operators is likely to offer this cheap Chinese handset directly in store or online.  That rules out VZW and Sprint, thus rules out CDMA2000.  Even AT&T and T-Mobile users will probably have to buy this handset elsewhere.

I think either this phone will explode, or will silently be digging it's own grave here in the US. By not offering it with any carriers, they are ultimately limiting their exposure to the market. Unfortunately, even though the big 4 have moved towards removing subsidies (to some extent) it's practically impossible to operate like the European markets.

 

It's a nice phone, I'll definitely want to check it out, but they are making a huge mistake by not including CDMA (mostly cause they won't have access to the millions of Verizon customers, also Sprint too :P)

 

My two cents.

This is a Asian phone maker who broke off from OPPO. They're not looking moab the American market, they're looking to sell hard in Europe and Asia and if some people in America get it that's just icing on top. You ever seen a OPPO here in America. You barely see Sony phones here and they have some of the best phones out. America is just not the target for OnePlus.

It's a shame, this phone sounds very enticing and with the large modding community we have, I see a decent sized market for a phone like this.

Any report of a CDMA version of the 1+1? Or even one that has b41, 26, and 25?

I would say that there is a zero possibility of a sprint version of this device. I hope I don't offend anyone when I say this but those guys don't know what they are doing, I swear they are trying everything in their power to not sell their product. Every single decision they have made has been quite laughable when it comes to getting the device in customers hands. Now don't get me wrong I think the device itself is pretty damn good especially for the price but whoever runs the company sucks when it comes to making busines decisions. I don't see them being in business long at all.

Besides, we'd all need an invite to buy it!

The couple people that I knew that had invites ended up just selling their invites on ebay, lol.

That expires 24 hours after receiving it.

Exactly, what sense does that make? There are a lot of people that really wanted this device and all they have managed to do is basically upset most of their potential customers. Not to mention their support department is non existent.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.

      If anyone was curious what a flagpole site looks like after getting an n41 upgrade. Came across this one in Staten Island. Terrible wiring but decent speeds and great ping.
