  1. Actually, yes you did. LOL I had an HTC Trophy on Verizon for a short time and it really did work good. I know it seems odd to see stable in the phrase, but it worked very well. However, now that I just read that the customer preview of Windows 8 that's dropping this weekend drops the infamous start button, I will hold to the belief that Microsoft should be shot!
  2. Microsoft has always been good at extortion. That's why they dominated the PC industry for years, and small companies like Be, Inc failed. But this time they fell behind and have to resort to more subtle forms of extortion ("incentives") to try to dominate again. It's really pathetic how they do that. Don't get me wrong, I like Windows Phone 7. Haven't tried out 7.5 Mango yet, but 7 was really nice and stable. A first for me in all my dealings with Microsoft over the years. I've had Windows Mobile phones in the past that needed to be thrown under a car tire on more than one occasion, lol.

At least 3/4 of their rural network that isn't partner roaming is still GSM & EDGE only. At least Verizon has a decent upgrade strategy. And now Sprint does too.

I sure hope that they don't make the mistake they all did with WiMax. We sure need devices with better battery life than the 5 hours of talk time I get now. I'm going to be patient with Sprint & Clearwire & China Mobile this time.

  7. Migrated from Original Forum. Originally Posted 16 January 2012 Since LTE is a GSM technology, Sprint will use sim chips in their LTE devices as well. However, LTE sim chips might not read and register with other carrier LTE devices since they operate on different frequencies and interoperability and roaming with LTE isn't really much of a reality at this point. And due to the fact that MEID locking to carriers still exists, swapping devices that utilize both CDMA & LTE probably won't function like we would want it to.

We need to see more non-HTC & non-Samsung high end devices on Sprint.

    MSL #'s

I don't think that this is a pre-cursor to Sprint ending unlimited data. This has been coming since the first part of 2011.

Does anyone know how many WiMax networks are deployed worldwide, and do they use the same frequency that Clear uses?
