Count me as another Best Buy Mobile success story.  I went in with the UPC for the correct UICC/CSIM for the 2015 Moto X.  Less than five minutes and $10 later, I walked out with the right 4FF nano SI

I want it.  But I won't have the funds until next year, if I'm lucky.

You should start another donation drive.

 

Please, everyone, help out a poor site admin get a new handset.  If even 40 of you would pledge only $10 each, that suffering site admin could put in his preorder tomorrow.

Write it off as testing equipment!

I certainly could not endorse something like that.  However, I don't recall ever turning down a gift before.   :clap:

We should do what we did with last year's Moto X. Have people put in for it, have staff use it for tests and the like, and then choose one of the people who put up the initial monies to get it raffle-style.

I want this phone, I'm going to wait for real world battery tests. I go to work at 3 am and cock out at 2 to 4 pm so I'd like a long lasting battery. 1 day a week I listen to music over headphones for a hour and half at most. Most reviews that I have read about the Play version say the camera is so-so, I'm not to worried about it as long as I takes decent pics and videos. And 1 question whay do you guess thing will be the usable memory for the 16gb version. My note has 32gb and my only s5 had 16gb, I know both(and they Pure) have a micro SD card but for apps that don't use memory card or system stuff, I like to keep it as empty. I've seen enough phones that have a update or a large app and not have enough internal space.

We could try, but I doubt that we would get the same uptake.  Many of our members -- including the tech editor, yours truly -- will put in their own preorders tomorrow.  We know that 2015 Moto X will work on Sprint.  In fact, if ordered from Motorola, it can be kitted with a Sprint 4FF nano SIM in the box.  So, we will have no shortage of people testing out the new Moto X on Sprint.

 

Last year was a different story.  The 2014 Moto X looked like it was headed to Sprint, then became exclusive to Republic Wireless.  Almost no members except myself were willing to purchase in that situation -- because the chances of activation on Sprint were slim, and they did not want to add a line on Republic.  Still, members were interested enough in the possibility that they funded our experiment.

 

Staff has also talked about trying this funding/raffle campaign for every major handset released on or compatible with Sprint.  We could build up a large body of empirical RF testing, comparing dozens of current and past handsets.  It could also be the major source of donation funding for S4GRU, though that would probably require us to collect donations that total 25-50 percent more than each handset costs.  And with so many raffles, I wonder if S4GRU could garner some IRS scrutiny at some point.

On other recent Moto handsets, does anyone here have experience with the bamboo back plate?  Is the wood smooth and slippery?  Or does it possess decent grain and grip?

Now that I'm home and looking at phone, the more I want it which will then allow me to give my G3 to my mom which she can replace the Nexus 5 I gave her.

I'm not too worried about the picture quality either. I don't take as much pics like my sister or buddies do, and I sure heck don't take videos.

It will be a tough choice between this phone and the new Nexus 5. I like the better camera and battery. For me it will come down to the cost of a 32GB n5 vs 32GB Moto X

 

My solution -- get both.

I'm Canadian. I would really like to use Moto Maker. But Motorola is seriously trolling us Canadians by not releasing the phone in Canada and requiring a US address and credit card to order online.

 

Is anyone aware of a reputable service I can use to purchase one online?

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
