3-4 weeks for my 32 GB Graphite

Welp. I am getting the 6P I think. $50 credit is great

My biggest ram usage is opening large PDFs and documents and also when I have a lot of active chrome tabs. I have definitely seen slowdowns on my N5 related to maxing out ram.

LOL, hype train got me screwed up..

Yes iPhone 6 and 6s do not have IOS support, only plus models do..

He was poking fun at your typo of OIS -> IOS

IPhone still has one of the best cameras out there and lacks IOS support.

The 6 Plus and now 6s Plus do have OIS but point taken.

Android Police also claiming no OIS on either 5x or 6P cameras

$380 eh? Well I think I just decided that unless I win the Moto X Pure raffle here I will sit this one out and wait for a bunch of comparison reviews. My Nexus 5 is going strong except for the normal degraded battery and a randomly sticky power button.

I can wait a few weeks no problem.

Dang... $379.99 starting point for the 5X with these specs?  Seems a bit steep to me.

I'm more interested in the 6P and can only imagine what they'll charge if the 5X is starting at almost 4 bills.

Already have the cash saved up but may just have to buy a 2014 Nexus 6.

 

Who am I kidding?

Yeah and at that price I would seriously consider the moto x pure.

Damn you Google.

You are making me choose between 1) cheap, small, shitty storage options and 2 GB ram with an 808 and 2) Expensive, huge, great storage options and an 810.

All I wanted was an easy choice you absolute bastards.

Have the radio specs leaked yet? Wasn't there speculation that this device might not work with Sprint?

as the Nexus 6 successor it 99.999% will work on Sprint due to how Google Fi is setup right now.

Update PRL?

edit: we do have an m8 users thread here http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5784-htc-one-m8-user-thread/

I know the m8 has been a troublesome device. Have you downloaded all the updates for the phone?

I don't think this is a big issue. I really think Sprint SHOULD sit this out if the cost of the last licenses sold is any indication. 

However, I would really like to see Sprint pick up some cheaper rural licenses or stuff on highways etc so they can improve native coverage and also save money in roaming.

Of course they cause congestion if you stream netflixs on two devices and do a speed test on the third you would have similar results, It is shared bandwidth as you add more users it gets slower. That is while large events kill the network every device looks for push notifications and small data requests it adds up fast and kills it for everyone.

Plus what does everyone do at events when they notice a data slowdown? Speedtest to see if they have a slow connection!

I don't want a bump for the sake of a bump. What do you need? I need to 2GB for what I do. Some may need more, I suppose.

Well, I have seen some slowdowns and high ram usage with apps on my Nexus 5. The other point is that sure it is okay NOW but in 2 years will it be? Hopefully the larger capacity might be offered with 3 GB or something. It'd be an easy upsell for me.

Geekbench for the N5X.  Not all that impressive benchmarks.

also appears to confirm 2 GB ram

I've been talking with some of the customer care people on twitter and they are kind of conflicting themselves. They say I can't get on the $1 lease because I don't own the 6 outright, but that I can return the 6s and re-do my lease terms.

 

I talked to 2 different stores (a Radio Shack and corporate store) and they both told me different answers.  So, I'm going to the corporate store after work to see if they can get it to work, since they told me it would be able to be re-done under the new promotion.

 

We shall see...

Right so does that mean when you return the 6s you pay the lease off or are they saying "oh just trade it in and you're good" then giving you the $1/mo offer. If it is the former then you're better off with the already discounted $15/mo (before legacy credit) and if it is the latter then who wouldn't take that deal?

Everyone I spoke to today was clear that you had to own the phone outright rather than be on an existing lease. I guess we still need clarification to work it's way through the system.

As a final update:

Phone, chat reps, employees have both confirmed to me today: Current iPhone Forever users are not eligible for the $1 iPhone plan.

(can't blame us for asking though!)

I wonder how the launch is going today. Walked by some of the stores earlier and a lot of carrier's stores seem to be normal traffic, no crazy lines.

Seemed that way to me too. I pass by Sprint/AT&T/Verizon stores on the way to work and from the drive past they seemed empty and the Verizon store I had lunch by was barren.

Maybe Apple's direct selling strategy is having a big impact?

The cab example still works. Let's say the cab driver turned to you and said no charge because of your destination. If you had chosen another destination, he would have charged. It was his choice to give you the ride gratis, but there was nothing else special about the trip. He didn't take special shortcuts. And if you chose the other destination, he didn't take the long way around. It was gratis, not preferred.

 

Does T-Mobile do anything to hamper or hinder access to other music sites or speed test sites? No. The net is completely neutral.

 

Violation of net neutrality is about traffic shaping, not traffic compensation.

 

So if your cable company offers 90 days free HBO, it drives you to watch more HBO than Showtime. That violates broadcast neutrality and is wrong?

The cab is still a bad choice of example but this is more like cabbie offering to drive you to a Seaworld for free when you originally wanted to go to Six Flags on the condition you buy the ticket to Seaworld before he drives you. Your choice might change based on the incentive offered because the alternative is now more expensive.

Again, your HBO comparison is also flawed as that is a service offered by the cable company to encourage you to purchase more services. That would be akin to T-Mobile offering free tethering/hotspot puck for 90 days or something.

I was pretty sure sensorly was exempted too. I could swear that it didnt count againsts my accounts usage. Ill have to check again. Thats beside the point though that tmobile is prioritizing data. It doesn't give smaller music companies a chance if there not on the music freedon list. People would rather be on the company that doesnt count againsts there data limit

Gratis and preferred are not the same thing. Music streaming traffic is not preferred; it is being provided at no charge. It's like a cab driver turning to you at the end of ride and says "No charge." Outside it being free, there was nothing special or different about the ride.

 

A closer example of a violation of net neutrality would be limiting traffic, say limiting video streaming to 600kbps, and requiring a fee to break the limit.

I think that is a bad analogy because it doesn't include the requirement to use services to get that free ride. The reason this is an issue is because T-Mobile effectively drives users on the network to certain providers of services such as the already mentioned music services. It also plays favorites with the Ookla Speedtest.net App being exempted but others such as Sensorly Speedtest are not. Thus it is no longer neutral in providing bandwidth as it disincentivizes apps that are not exempted and further it raises unfair barriers to entry for new apps that may have otherwise been on even footing aside from established apps having a larger userbase.

Sorry but I simply don't buy the 'no harm because it is free!' Line of thought on net neutrality because it is an incomplete line of thinking that assumes no potential harm is being done.

A few years ago, FedEx delivered my $1500 spectrum analyzer from Germany, did not require a signature when no one was home, and just left the box partially behind the bushes next to my front porch.

 

Corporate policy and delivery driver practice are two very different things.

Similar to a situation I had: Where I work we have every other Friday off and despite our very clear instructions AND SIGNAGE for receiving packages..... one day Fedex dropped off a rental one of these 

http://www.keysight.com/en/pd-1721037-pn-N9030A/pxa-signal-analyzer-3-hz-to-50-ghz?cc=US&lc=eng

Just marked it as "signed for by: Random Name" and left it there. We found it Monday and told the rental company who flipped their shit about it.

maybe it was a translation error: Back door - > black window

Tally of the lease eligible vs not eligible is being updated in my post here:
