  2. Maybe they are holding out for enough time to include some extra LTE radios! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Forum Runner
  3. Are you thinking about the original Photon, or the Photon Q? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Forum Runner
  4. It wouldn't be the first time. Thanks for correcting me.
  5. I'm going to say I was wrong. But you tell me for sure.
  6. The Galaxy Nexus also disconnects EVDO when on Wi-Fi.
  7. I guess we shall see when it comes out. And the EVO 3D was announced in March, 3 months before release, and so the March date takes more precedence than actual release date in terms of support for Band Class 10 on Sprint devices.
  8. That's good to know. I thought I heard somewhere that it was reduced to a crime ridden area. Glad it's not, and glad to hear that LTE is being turned on there.
  9. I miss La Verne. Haven't stopped there in years. Used to be such a beautiful town. Not sure if it is anymore though.
  10. All manufacturers have their quirks. I could say that the EVO Shift should have had the same processor as the EVO 4G, but HTC had their reasons. The overall problem is, communication between the carriers and device manufacturers is not as good as it should be. There was time for the 4S to have 800CDMA. Most Sprint phones in 2011 were given it. The EVO 3D was announced in March, which gave Apple plenty of time to integrate it, but they chose not to as an exercise of control. On the other hand, if at&t had had their way when the iPhone 1st came out, it would have had 3G from the start, but Apple was in control, and at&t had no say. In essence, they were Apple's b***h, for lack of a better term. And the reason that iPhone 5 supports LTE on PCS A-F, is because Band Class 25 (PCS A-G) is a superset of Band Class 2, and therefore, you can support both LTE bands at the same time.

  12. Basing on how the 4S should have been more than capable of 800CDMA, Apple should have done it, but instead they based it on Sprint's current network, not on the future. By the time the 5 came out, Sprint had already been deploying 1900LTE and 800CDMA on SMR, hence they had to keep up their part of the contract and provide Sprint with devices that utilized both bands. Apple only bends to the carriers when it suits them, otherwise the carrier always has to bend to them.

  15. I don't expect phones to support 800SMR LTE until summer or fall. And in the case of Apple, they won't put it in the iPhone this year as their won't be any 800 LTE network yet. As for Samsung and LG, they released phones before the network got off the ground, and HTC was right around the start of Network Vision with the EVO LTE. So figure this Fall and Winter since Sprint said that they will start building it out in the 4th quarter. Hopefully by then the Clearwire acquisition will have been completed.
