Sprint getting phones from Sony, and Sharp just means one guy left. That little guy is the Nokia Lumia line. I am not a Windows Mobile fan, but I want customers to have a great set of choices.I I don't know what is the deal is between both companies. Anyone wants to chime in?

Yeah, this is pretty much what it will look like on Big Red.       AJ

Man I keep seeing battery reviews for the compact one.  It's making me really want the Sony Z3, either regular or compact.  Sprint just needs to announce the dang thing already!

Why Sony, why?  Why can't you just say you're going to carry it on Sprint.  Why only mention T-Mobile?  The fact that T-Mobile's variant is in the FCC makes me think T-Mobile will undoubtedly get it first and Sprint's may come out sometime in November. 

 

EDIT: But as of now, it's unclear whether Sprint will carry it or not.

The phone will come to Verizon too. So right now only tmobile and Verizon are confirmed.

No doubt it'll be that way on Verizon.  The source listed above doesn't really confirm it'll be on Verizon though.  I'm hoping it's on my more carriers but it's kind of in the same spot as Sprint is.  There's no confirmation, just rumors.

All their phones look like that except the iPhone. Sprint is the only carrier that doesn't stand its name on phones. Sprint took the European approach.

I am guessing that Sprint gets the Z3 Compact

Ha! I remember some really funny pics of HTC One M7s with VZ logos literally covering the back in a tile pattern (with 7 more logos on the front and 2 on each side) on G+ before it was officially released on VZ.  :rolleyes:

i just wished this phone had hardware touch sensitive buttons like the samsung phones. it clears up a lot of room on the screen because you don't have the buttons at the bottom of the screen. to me this design is just dumb when a phone has enough room at the bottom bezel for a couple hardware touch buttons. this is just one of the things samsung has done right.. i would like to get this device as i do like the fact is very durable phone compared to many other phones. i remember seeing a test done on a Z2 and they droped the phone on every single angle on cement from several feet up and the device barely had any scratches and screen didn't even crack.. i think it's going to be a bit awkward for me having those buttons wasting pixel space on the screen, but i am willing to give it a shot.

 

if sprint does get it, my guess is it won't until later in the year after sprint is done pushing the iphone down people's throat.

      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....
