derrph Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I've been on the 6 month trial for Tidal that was pushed out back in February and let me tell you something. HiFi uses hella data. But the sound quality is awesome. Thank goodness for unlimited. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsrealinc Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Deal is dead. Sprint took down the site. I assume they weren't ready to release it yet.

greenbastard Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Not Sprint related, but look what was found on top of a T-Mobile tower. As if being a tower climber wasn't dangerous enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanA Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I've seen that photo before. Those are fake and are put there to discourage birds from landing on the tower. Snakes don't climb towers. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 FYI, for people like me who had stuck with version 1.2.3 of Network Signal Guru, I'm now getting a message that it's outdated and requires an update. Looks like the end of the line. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arysyn Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I haven't seen this story posted here yet, so I figured to do so with some brief commentary of my own afterwards : http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/technology/article155312894.html The story is about Sprint buying out the other half of a retail store business partnership they've had for a few years with Dixons Carphone. Of course I don't know all the details about this, nor do I pretend to, but from what I've read, this seems like a great move by Sprint. While I'm not a fan of wireless carrier retail, I think its good for Sprint to take full ownership control of these stores, while still working with such partners. I was wondering what others here on S4GRU think about the idea of Sprint possibly stop selling devices directly, but have partners selling devices through Sprint retail stores as means for Sprint not taking losses on devices they can put through on funding the network?
