The largest LTE carrier supported is 20 MHz x 20 MHz with a raw data rate of 108 mbps download (100 mbps download after overhead). LTE advanced will be able to aggregate numerous carriers (up to 20 x 20 each) together.

Can't wait to see how fast Clearwire's LTE speeds will actually be.

Try Boric Acid-- works quite well and is harmless to humans-- to reassure your houseguests...

Killed them all already. Thanks for the idea though.

Are you petite? I can fit my 7" tablet in my cargo pant pockets. I can fit the Note in most of my pants pockets. I never wear skinny jeans.

Me? Petite? Haha, I wish. Anything bigger than the EVO 4G would be too bulky in my pockets. It would look goofy walking around with something that big in my pocket.

Makes me sad. I was really hoping Sprint would put EVDO on the 800 band to improve coverage.

By the time they finish rolling out LTE, they will try to get most people to have LTE for data and lessen the number of EVDO users anyway.

Back on topic... Wimax is almost useless by me. I hate Clearwire and I wish Sprint would dump them completely. The Wimax rollout was a disaster. Sprint has some of the blame for that. Clearwire was clearly incompetent to handle Wimax rollout.

It all depends on where you live. In Visalia WiMax works great. In parts of LA it works decent.

That would just barely fit comfortably in my pocket. And i wear cargo pants with big pockets.

The Evo 3D submission to the FCC included a full schematic' date=' with part numbers, that was fortunately leaked - I don't know if that's happened before or since, but was hoping for it with this phone (one can always hope). If we can get a leaked schematic, then as with the 3D, we can nail the entire phone's capabilities per various semiconductor data sheets and answer a lot of questions.

 

Sadly, as AJ suggests and you say, we'll most likely be stuck waiting for a teardown, and those aren't always complete.[/quote']

 

I guess we will just have to wait then.

If it can't fit in my pocket, then i won't get it. A 5" screen is just too big for me. How big is the screen on the E4GT again?

No, internal processing is not the purview of the FCC. The FCC is concerned primarily with external radiation. So, typical FCC OET filings make no mention of the the actual baseband radio.

 

AJ

Ah. So when will we know? When it's released and someone tears it apart?

Does the EVO 4G LTE contain an unmentioned second Qualcomm modem so as to enable SVDO? Or does the S4 MSM8960 internally contain multiple radios, such that it can do SVDO by itself? Those are the greater questions right now.

 

AJ

Wouldn't the modems be shown on some diagram from the FCC filing?

Note to self: never be houseguest of Josh. Might try to kill you.

I only kill bugs, not people, lol!

They didn't go through any extraordinary measures to "make it." Given all the other requirements of the device that were necessary, it just is. And it's not a bad thing. It will give Sprint flexibility in the future.

 

There are many places geographically where Sprint will not have enough SMR spectrum to deploy a 5x5 LTE carrier. They could elect in those locations to at least install an EVDO carrier for customers to use. However, I have never seen one document that says Sprint plans to do this. But it is something they could do.

 

Robert

EV-DO 800 capability is already baked into the chipset, power amp module, and antenna configuration. Locking out the capability would require more work than simply letting it go unused.

 

AJ

Standard manufacturing process. I get it now. Thanks.

Are you being a good host? The least that you could do is play some music for them.

 

AJ

Forget it! I've been trying to kill them and the stupid things don't want to die.

Yes and no. EVO LTE will use Sprint's 1xAdvanced on 800 and 1900. The EVO LTE is 3G EVDO "capable" on 800, but Sprint has no plans to put 3G EVDO on 800 SMR. But if they ever should, the device could use it.

 

Robert

I'm curious: Why make a device compatible with 3G EVDO on 800 SMR when you have no plans to put EVDO on the SMR Band to begin with?

No Signal

YES!!!

 

And I'm just thinking about it in simple market terms...Sprint will have LTE covered everywhere roughly that currently gets Sprint CDMA service(omitting the areas that have other providers like in west Kansas) right now within a 2yr deployment...Verizon seems to be taking longer to do theres...On top of that I'm still surprised that they are using little dots to mark LTE areas instead of a blanket coverage shaded map...

 

By 2013 end it will be interesting to see the marketing ploy Sprint goes with...ESP if VZ is still deploying its LTE then and not fully covered its service area...

Yes it will be interesting to see what Verizon will say when they are still lighting up new LTE areas when Sprint finishes. I'm sure that will hurt their stockholder confidence in some way that a carrier less than half their size one upped them!

The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!

Forget that. These ants are marching 20 by 20!

I'm rather more optimistic about SouthernLINC going away sooner or later; Southern are going to have to migrate away from iDEN too, since Motorola is going to stop making phones and base station equipment, but they don't have the spectrum to transition to another technology. Sprint is the only logical buyer; anybody else would have an oddball network in the southeast that wouldn't fit with the holdings in the rest of the country. I suppose SouthernLINC could just squat on the spectrum or try to launch their own local wireless broadband network or deploy a different PTT system like QChat, but I can't see them making that sort of investment in a non-core business when they have far bigger fish to fry in power generation and delivery. The only real question is whether Sprint is willing to pay what Southern wants to get for the spectrum holdings.

 

But I don't think Sprint would touch the rest of ESMR and public safety, and really they don't need to.

After Sprint shutters iDEN, only 2 carriers in the US & Canada will still have iDEN, SouthernLINC & Mike by Telus. As far as I know, Telus isn't ready to shut iDEN in Canada down just yet, so the technology might remain usable for a little while after Sprint decommissions their PTT network.
