I would love for the premier program to return. I miss the yearly upgrades

I don't anticipate this will ever return. When Sprint started the Premier program back in February of 2009 there was really only one major smartphone, the iPhone and subsidies on other phones were relatively small. . Sprint started Premier in an effort to stop or slow iPhone defections. When the real smartphone revolution hit with the Androids Sprint really felt the budget pinch that the Premier program caused. Enter the heavier subsidized iPhone and the program had to disappear.

The end of the program had to come even without the iPhone due to the increasing costs of the more and more sophisticated Androids. That isn't to say that some sort of a loyalty program won't come back to Sprint, but I don't think we will see the annual upgrade part, at least in the same format it was in the old program.

No it was just a piece of trivia I picked up.

SPRINT = Southern Pacific Railroad Intelligent Network of Telecommunications

I use RootMetrics for more consistency. With Speedtest the servers change so much I never get a reliable reading. One day may be Phoenix, the next may be Tucson or Pima or maybe even LA. Anyway this is pretty much the norm for me in east Mesa, AZ

And it's going to allow Phoenix' date=' Cleveland, Tucson/Yuma and Milwaukee to move up a little.

 

I am a significant bottle neck in this enterprise!

There has been a significant NV deployment reprioritization that occurred in February. And I think its a good idea. More info to follow.

Hmmm.... Interesting that with all the planing and scheduling complete, Sprint would reprioritize. Anxious to hear more.

I think I'll go ahead and lose hope of Phoenix getting Sprint's LTE this year and if we do it probably will be as good as Clearwire's 4G that we have right now. I wonder if I can still get out of my contract without penatly over the change in discounts' date=' some people claim they did.

I too am a Phoenix Sprint customer. Sprint serves my needs and I don't believe I will use my device any differently when LTE comes to town. Yes it will be fun to play with the speeds but in the end.....

 

Just my 2 cents.

EVDO Advanced is a software upgrade that increases efficiency of the cellular network. The easiest read I have found is http://www.cdg.org/resources/files/fact_sheets/CDG_DO_Advanced_FEB_2012.pdf

We are committed to continue our support for EVDO Rev A. We checked out EVDO RevB some time ago, and decided to move directly to 4G technologies. We will not be rolling out RevB

Okay... my bad.

Hey people, how about we move non-NV deployment talk to a new thread and quit hijacking Robert's

 

Agreed! (I'm in AZ)

I read somewhere (I thought it was written by Robert but I can't find it) that Sprint employees are testing the heck out of the Nexus and they are loving it. I would guess if LTE and multi-mode problems are resolved then a May release may happen. More realistic would probably be early June. I expect another phone announced at WMC followed by another announcement at CTIA in May.
