S4GRU

by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Thursday, April 5, 2012 - 1:41 AM MDT ¡Hola mis amigos en Puerto Rico! Aquí está su información...I finally am able to bring you a schedule update for Isla del Encanto and the Virgin Islands. Samsung and their subcontractors are indeed beginning work in the PR/VI market this month and will get started on the first 22 sites. NV Schedule Map of Puerto Rico. Click on image to enlarge. The Network Vision schedule for the entire market will run from April, out into November. We have included several maps of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in the this article. In these maps you can get an idea of how and when they will be deploying throughout the islands. The entire PR/VI market deployment does not start in one city and then spread out across to other areas. Rather, each part of the market gets more towers month after month until the whole market is complete. If this schedule holds, Sprint will likely announce the market as live in August. The San Juan area will be largely complete by the end of September. NV Schedule Map of San Juan. Click on image to enlarge. One thing that is not for certain at this time, is whether 4G LTE will be complete and live in conjunction with these dates. Some of the source information appeared as if 4G LTE was being deployed later. However, we cannot confirm this information at this time. As we know more specificity about LTE deployment in Puerto Rico, we will bring that information to you. As always, stay tuned to Sprint 4G Rollout Updates for all the latest Network Vision news.

Did you know that we keep a Completed Network Vision Interactive Site Map in our Sponsors section? It is updated with new confirmed Network Vision sites every day or two. Below is a screen shot of all the confirmed sites that are active today. Sponsors can zoom in on this map and pan around and look at all the completed sites. This is one of several advantages of being a sponsor of S4GRU. Not to mention you get to help pay the finances and keep on the air one of the most valuable Sprint resources ever created! You should consider becoming a Sponsor today. Our PayPal donation link is located in the upper right hand corner of the Forums page. Current sponsors can just click on the map below to be taken to the latest iteration of the NV complete sites map.

On Sprint's network, it will only do 800 Voice/1xAdvanced. No LTE on 800. It supports LTE on 1900 only. However, it will be almost two years before 800 LTE is out in a big way on Sprints network anyway. That wouldn't hold me up from upgrading at this point for a device I want. Robert

We don't have the screen issue with ours. You may want to consider calling Amazon. A refurb product should be like brand new. That's no bueno. Robert

I was considering a stray to HTC after today's pics. However, that new Samsung pic has me drooling. I'm sure it's timing is no accident. There were probably millions who were thinking about HTC today. Robert

Wow...I'm ready to be featured on Nerds Gone Wild after seeing that. Wow!!!! Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner

I didn't realize it was only 25 for Sponsors. I've now raised it. Go back to "liking." Robert

chicken wings *drool*

The GNex does...https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=824008&typ=8374&fcc_id=%27A3LSPHL700%27 So does the Viper. But I cannot find that FCC OET in a quick search. Robert

Yeah, I wouldn't do anything rash. No harm in waiting a day or two and see what shakes out. Robert

It's still just PCS, either way you slice it. Robert

It's damn sexy!!! Makes me want to jump back to HTC. It looks thin...almost slightly Samsung-esque, though. Sounds much more durable and tough than the GSII series. Robert

I have had the same issue with some Custom MOD's I have used in my E4GT. I then installed a couple of different "radios" until one seemed best. Robert

market analysis

This is a confirmed Sprint site. Site ID #PH12AL018. However, only the top panels look like Sprints. The big bottom ones look like Verizon LTE panels. Does Verizon have LTE deployed in your area? They might be working on it now. Also, if it is someone working for Sprint, it would have to be voice and EVDO carrier or backhaul upgrades. NV Engineering is not complete in the Tucson/Yuma market yet. So it would be virtually impossible for them to be beginning NV there at this time. Robert

Those little gold and silver ones appear too small to me to be anything that I am aware of from AT&T and Tmo. They almost appear to me to be smaller than Clearwire's 2.5GHz panels. Which is why I theorized they may be 3+ GHz. Robert
