If you get a chance to take a photo of that, send it to me! - Robert

It's my understanding they will be removed after everything is hunky dory. I would guess a few weeks after the NV equipment is live, fully functioning and no problems occur.

Good questions. My article does not explain your points. I wouldn't mind some answers myself.

While we wait on BTR photos...I have photos that I just posted from a site in the Sprint Chicago Market submitted by a S4GRU Member: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-73-what-youve-all-been-waiting-forpics-from-a-network-vision-site-in-marengo-illinois/

What you all have been waiting for. Real, true, bona fide Network Vision site photos! S4GRU Member runagun drove out to Marengo, Illinois in the Sprint Chicago market to check out some Network Vision action for himself. He had been seeing the reports on S4GRU.com about Network Vision in his area, and maybe even a tad skeptical, so he drove to a site to investigate for himself. Marengo was touted as getting NV work this month in our S4GRU article, Samsung Network Vision/LTE Deployment schedule & details for Sprint's Chicago Market. And we are relieved to find our information confirmed by the site visit! Samsung is actively working on clusters as reported in the article. Our keen spy was able to investigate and photograph the site with a subcontractor actually present. Who was very helpful and answered questions. I'll let the photos speak for themselves! Special thanks to S4GRU member runagun for the photos! Good job!

Another thing you can do is if you have a public Facebook, Google+, or Twitter account, you can upload the photo there. After uploading, right click on the photo and get the URL. Come back into S4GRU and click on the insert picture icon in your post and enter the URL you copied from the social media site.

The shrinkage Seinfeld episode just kills me. I remember my wife looking at me funny when we first saw it back in the 90's. She had this puzzled look on her face and asks, "It shrinks??? Holy crap!"

Our servers are limited to 700MB total at the moment. So I've been very stingy with space. Currently, members are limited to only post images on other servers. If you use the Tapatalk app, they will host the images that you upload to S4GRU on their servers. That's what most of our members are doing at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience.

by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Monday, February 27, 2012 - 6:01 PM MST Our beloved Sprint today announced that it is putting up for sale $2 Billion in notes to help pay its struggling partner in crime, Clearwire. Sprint also plans to refinance some other debts coming due and pay additional unnamed network upgrades with the proceeds. Sprint only recently raised $4 billion in the debt markets in early December to pay for up front Network Vision costs and to help pay some Clearwire bills, err, uhh, provide initial payments for long term WiMax and LTE usage. This move to the debt markets is critical for Sprint, as it needs billions to initiate and complete the build out of its Network Vision program ($10 Billion) and to fulfill its contract obligations with Apple to carry the iPhone ($15 Billion). These moves are seen as the most critical elements for a Sprint renewal and resurgence to profitability and sustainability. This newest run for more money is an optimistic sign that Sprint believes the market will provide them with cash they need. Sprint will sell notes due in 2017 and 2020. The sale is to be completed March 1st and includes the five-year notes at 9.13% and eight-year debt at 7%, which will be guaranteed by units in Sprint. Source: Business Week

I'm working on this article now. Thanks for posting! - Robert

Thanks for the write up. There are a lot of people around S4GRU who would love to see this device come to Sprint. How is the display? I hope it's leaps and bounds better than the Photon. I know I could get addicted to that battery life! - Robert
