    Yes. If you look at the NV Sites Complete map, you will see that all the St. Croix sites have had the 3G side accepted. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    Welcome. I upgraded your account about an hour ago. Thanks for supporting S4GRU. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    You aren't kidding. I shudder to think if my opinions from my teen years were indexed and ready for viewing now. Ahhh, the internet age. I sometimes want to grab a spork and gouge out my eyes when I read my posts just from 18-24 months ago! Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    I'm going to install this when I go back to my Note in a few weeks. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    I'm glad you clarified. I get a lot of heat from members when I say I responded from the car, but I didn't respond while driving. But rather I responded when stopped at a light or a fast food drive thru. People like to jump to conclusions. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    Yes. We have a map that shows sites as they are accepted from Sprint. Sometimes we can even get them posted the same day they are inspected.and signed off, but it may take a few days to appear in some instances. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    The Victory is a solid little device. Best RF performer of any Sprint Android phone I've ever tested. Even better than the OG Photon. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    As much as I know unlimited data is unsustainable for the long term, I don't foresee SoftBank scrapping unlimited for awhile. So the" Hesse is just about to scrap unlimited" banter can be stopped. I heard this two years ago too. Lots of doomsday folks were saying it then, and even pointed to anecdotal indicators to prove their point back then too. And it never came to pass. It's not imminent right now either. We know it is eventually inevitable. But the topic in the OP is not foreshadowing, just like the cancellation of unlimited data on hotspots going.away 15 months ago did not bring the end of unlimited either. Also, since Tmo just brought back unlimited, Sprint is in no position in the short term to can unlimited. Dan Hesse has said that unlimited is the KEY differentiator that Sprint has with the competition to help grow business. Until they are able to get Sprint in position to compete on other levels, they will have to maintain unlimited. There is sand still in the top of the hour glass. But eventually it will run out.

    When I was 18, I thought I knew everything. The older I get, the more I realize I don't know. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    Even though 7 of the 8 St. Thomas sites have been accepted for 3G upgrades, does not mean that new backhaul is live at all of them. So performance may vary wildly at first. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    The Sprint website shows any maintenance upgrade that has occurred in the past six months, not just Network Vision upgrades. There can also be several sites between you and the one you see on the map. The best way to see what is going on is to become a S4GRU Sponsor and access our comprehensive maps.

    I actually find these posts more annoying than the complaint about the rollout going slow in LA last week. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    8 of the 9 sites on St. Thomas and St. John showed up as 3G signed off on the acceptance report today for this market. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1120-comments-related-to-nv-sites-complete-thread/page__view__findpost__p__110977 Robert

    The Centralia site showed up on the acceptance report today. Good stuff. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    Obnoxious, ain't it? It was driving me bonkers too until I activated my new Optimus G this evening. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk

    I'm activating mine now. Very nice display. LG's ICS overlay is pretty good. But I knew that already from the Viper. It's better than TouchWiz and Sense, IMHO. Robert

    The Viper, Mach, GNex or Victory can be purchased on EBay pretty darn cheaply. Just got to look around. Robert

    It does work with Network Vision. The phone will not be obsolete. It will still operate just fine. Network Vision is not the addition of 800MHz. Network Vision is the rebuilding of all the hardware on the network and backhaul, which has nothing to do with LTE 800 or LTE 2600. To say it will not work with Network Vision is just not accurate. We all want future proof phones, but it is impossible. There are always plans and changes coming in the future. It is no different with other carriers. People who have spent a lot of money on Verizon devices the past few years will not have AWS LTE when it first comes out. And Verizon could have technically added support in their devices years ago. However, it can be a bad idea to early support new bands without testing. Look at all the problems the EVO LTE had. It is a wiser decision over all for Sprint to set up FIT's for these new bands and do extensive testing than to just stick in the hardware and hopes it all works out. There are no surprises so far. Sprint and S4GRU has said that there will not be devices that support LTE Bands 26 and 41 until later in 2013. So I wouldn't count on any early escapees. If support of future bands is the most important thing to you, then you will need to wait. And then when they come out, there will be something else on the horizon that you will be disappointed isn't included in your newest device. Like Carrier Aggregation, or 4x4 MIMO, or better battery performers. Your real issue is you need to upgrade more frequently if having all the newest bands is important to you. There is no way to future proof a device for 2+ years. Robert

    I was going through withdrawls. I hadn't purchased a device in 4 months!!! I like to pick up devices when they drop below $200. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    It's in the Sponsor section. For some reason I thought you were a Sponsor. Sorry to be a tease like that. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk
