These guys are on a Sprint role! I'm wondering why S4GRU didn't get the exclusive invite to tour Overland Park?!? ;)

Lot's to pull from this article, especially speculation about phablets etc. I think the biggest standout to me was that I interpreted

 

Devices have to conform with Sprint's Network Vision project and timeline, too. For example, all Sprint phones needed to support CDMA in the 800 MHz band by this year. LTE 4G devices can support just 1900 MHz this year, but starting next year all Sprint devices need to support LTE in the 800, 1900, and 2500 MHz bands, and also include HD Voice technology."

 

as all smartphones starting January 2013 will have to have LTE-800. Please don't let me be wrong!

awesome, now I have a timeline for my next phone, if I can keep myself from picking up an evo lte before then.

 

 

the timeline pic is nifty, looks like we can expect a 'tizen' (intel based) phone mid 2013 and keylime pie android early second half 2013.

 

also, it looks like we can expect the iphone 5 to only support 1 lte band, though the 5s or 6 should be triband.

I get my next upgrade in December so if that holds true then I'll be in luck.

alot of interesting points in that article. wow. But phablet by mid 2013. NOOOOOOoooooooo

 

i was hoping it would be sooner. Oh well, beggars can't be choosy.

 

Edit: Wait a minute, on the roadmap (shown below) it shows 5.5" display for the first part of 2013 that does fall into place with the rumor of end of year for the Note which is to be 5.5" The "Phablet" limits/TBD is set for the second half of 2013 which could be anything over 5.5"

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
