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.

I agree, which reminds me of this old pic.     I also feel that most will return as well. anyway, lets get back to the topic at hand. Anyone else have ideas of what it can be about. The HD Voice

yes thinking about your comment, this could be one of the more forward thinking marketing things sprint has done in a while.

 

underarmor is 'the new nike' in a lot of young circles, and one of the best ways to sell stuff is through youngsters.

In a related announcement, VZW, to cater to its core subscribership, has inked pacts with Munsingwear and BVD.

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.

With nationwide HD voice, does it work across markets and OEM's?

 

Yes, the Nextel antennalope have been repurposed to relay nationwide HD Voice.

"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.

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.

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,

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.

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. This is the guy I want running the company.

I don't know if this was mentioned but Chicago is already running the new 8T8R equipment on a trial basis as per this link article.http://gigaom.com/2014/06/23/sprints-8-antenna-lte-tech-moves-out-of-the-labs-and-into-chicago/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OmMalik+%28GigaOM%3A+Tech%29

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
