Note 4 in hand!   Gosh how could I have been without the spinning Spark icon for so long!?!   WiFi calling sounds great!   Not at a Spark tower, will try that later.  I know the network parks yo

For $300 above the Note's premium price, it best come with CAT 20 and connect to towers in the next state.

Sprint made a few changes in that system wide shutdown yesterday.   1- The $24 price difference between ordering the Black and White Note 4 is not longer there. Both colors are the same price now.

Why do people have hardons for metal phones?

I guess it makes them feel like the money they spent on the phone is worth it. I've had both metal and plastic. Honestly I care more about if the phone works good, looks I could care less about to a point. My old Droid X2 was a beast, never had a case and didn't have a scratch or Crack after 2 years of use. My M7 was a but less durable, few scratches and a hairline Crack across the screen at the top.

RF performance is the most important aspect of a phone.

I agree but to manufacturers I'd say marketability is, and I'd quest most consumers don't know what rf is. So it's a fine balance of performance and appearance for high end devices. I just hope the gn4 leans towards performance.

Why do people buy luxury automobiles?  A Le Car will get them from place to place.

Typically, luxury cars aren't inhibiting performance or compensate for that inhibition in some way (bigger engine, more turbos, etc.).

No, they do.  Luxury automobiles typically carry more size and weight than what is necessary, thus inhibiting gas mileage.  But people still buy luxury automobiles because of the way they look and feel.

Oh, I guess I never really care about gas mileage anyway.

From a posting on sammobile it seems like the note 4 might launch on Oct 10. Still over a month away :-(

 

Welcome to S4GRU!  :welcome: 

The Sprint Galaxy Note 3 launched on October 4th last year, so it's not too surprising.  <_<

I'm going to wait a few weeks for feedback and AJs rf performance review of the FCC documents before I make up my mind. Knox took off a few points when Samsung added it.

Isn't that date for overseas?

Lets see the actual dates for the previous models...

Note # - Announced FCC Docs  Sprint sells

Note 2 - 09/19/2012 10/02/2012 10/25/2012 (36 days)

Note 3 - 09/04/2013 09/11/2013 10/04/2013 (30 days)

Note 4 - 09/03/2014 

 

The 10th would make that 37 days since announcement which falls around the usual timeframe but it an be anywhere from the 26th of Sept (30 days) to the 10th (37 days).

But something tells me that Sprint will hold up until the other carriers mention their prices and then will undercut them by $50 so I feel it could actually be the 17th of Oct a week later than everyone else.

Sprint charged $50 more than the other carriers with the Galaxy Note 3, at least on upgrades.

I would much rather have a water resistant phone over an aluminum phone. If the aluminum doesn't impact the signal I think it is a nice feature; because the only place on my Note 2 with scratches is on the sides.

Is the replaceable battery incompatible with being water resistant? I really used battery swapping a lot on my Note 2. It would seem the battery contacts corrosion when damp would be a problem.

The S5 is water resistant and has a removable battery.

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the lack of water resistance. I was all ready to upgrade.

      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....
