S4GRU Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I wouldn't trivialize the Under Armour announcement. It's a dissappointment for many of us techno geeks but Under Armour sells...there is a whole generation, like my son, dressed from head to toe in Under Armour waiting for their first cell phone who will beg for a phone with UA no matter what the features are. OK. Someone cares about Under Armor in their cell phone provider. I stand corrected. Robert 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 OK. Someone cares about Under Armor in their cell phone provider. I stand corrected. In a related announcement, VZW, to cater to its core subscribership, has inked pacts with Munsingwear and BVD. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In yet another related announcement, T-Mobile has just signed a similar marketing arrangement with Victoria's Secret thongs -- for both women and men. It is very European. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxsilver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 "For companies with people in them™" "Empower your weirdos" "Read our impassioned plea" "Work this way™" Looks like the Framily folks got ahold of the business marketing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Should have had Bill Swerski MC... "HESSE CAN KICK THAT LEDGER'S ASS, NEITHER COULD STAND UP AGAINST DITKA. DA BEARS." Yeah, I could hear the Superfans saying, "Hesse." But "Legere" just does not have that ring to it. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I agree. We are so far ahead in the news here at S4GRU that we are never really excited or surprised with info by the time Sprint officially announces it. The only things we get surprised about is trivial stuff, like Under Armor. Robert ^ yeah this basically sums it up for me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacinJosh Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 What is 8T8R? 8T8R is the term used for Sprint's Band 41 equipment. Each antenna panel uses 8 transmit and 8 receive antennas. The antenna panels are designed to project signal very close to the same signal propagation as Sprint's PCS LTE network in ideal conditions.

sbolen Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Late to the party (thanks, work). How many F-bombs and potshots did Dan take at the Duopoly? Any vague sexual assault innuendos? None? Good.
