  1. Countdown shows negative time for me. Maybe Marcelo is announcing he is, infact, a timelord
  2. Actually the more I think about it, this is probably a lease deal. Maybe they will provide free device insurance or offer half off all leases.
  3. I wonder if this news also coincides with the fact that the Ericsson network management deal is ending soon/is up for renewal? Maybe the best route really would be having Softbank run the network in some kind of lease deal there as well.
  4. Yep. My wife is the same way. No complaints about Sprint whatsoever since she got her new phone. The 6s definitely seems to get off 3g faster than her 6.
  5. I totally agree regarding the current plans. I'd prefer simple plans and despite all the grumbling about T-Mobile here, I think they present new plans to potential and current customers very well (with the exception of the like.. 3 different JUMP plans they have people on...). I am also quite keen on the potential to eliminate overages. I am on a 20 GB (24 with that 2GB per line extra promo) and tbh I maybe use half that but I overbought to insulate myself against months where we might be on vacation or I might be gone for work and don't have/dont want to/am not allowed to use WiFi services even with VPN. Without overages I might consider a plan with less data. However, my current 20GB plan is the same base cost ($100) as the 10GB that Sprint offers right now so that isn't really an option.. for now..
  6. half off my bill would be nice. That way we can ALL be SERO leeches and AJ can't be mad. edit: if they do unmetered streaming then they might as well call it half off network speed.
  7. That is awesome! I love my credit card protection from Wells Fargo and my buyer protection from my Mastercard. Combining the two has worked out really great for me.
  8. Pretty comprehensive review of quite a few cases if anyone is looking for one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/case-comparison-spigen-diztronic-tudia-t3247746 Quite happy with my Diztronic so far.
  9. I was down there about a month and a half ago and Sprint has definitely improved there. Last year I had frequent drops to 3g, slow LTE. I didn't think to speedtest there but I did notice that I never saw 3g while in town. I just attributed it partially to the much better LTE scan times on my Nexus 6P compared to my Nexus 5.
  10. TBH the only thing that sets T-Mobile apart from other carriers is that it seems fairly straightforward to just change plans or click "add" for the new uncarrier things. I hope Sprint realizes that all the plan changes have resulted in a myriad of different plans with customers who all want to know if they can get on the new plans/why they can't. I hope they at least try to streamline the process.
  11. I've been saying for YEARS that the Austin airport has the worst Sprint performance I have ever seen. Yet I am within 5 minutes of the airport with 30/10 speeds. Sprint inside the airport even on the top story goes to 3g and is totally inexcusable. I sincerely hope someone at Sprint gets reamed out by Marcelo personally for the sad state they have let the airport remain for SO LONG.
  12. http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Premium-Finish/dp/B01761J26I Might be right up your alley.
  13. For anyone looking for cases: Here is a look at the Spigen, Diztronic, Ringke cases https://youtu.be/l9XvvhrU228?t=3m9s I have the diztronic black and the fitment is pretty good. A tiny bit loose but I think once I put my screen protector on it will be just fine.
  14. The monoprice ones here: http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030319&p_id=13009&seq=1&format=2 are currently out of stock but the connectors are slimmer and not as long as the one in your picture. By thinner if you mean the cable thickness itself the Monoprice seems to be slightly thinner. My car console closes with it but barely latches/doesn't quite latch with the Google one. But if thin is what you are looking for and you aren't trying to charge more than 2.4A, go for the OnePlus. You can't beat the thin-ness of a flat cable. https://oneplus.net/type-c-cable Order processing took 3 days and shipping took 2 from California to Texas.
  15. This camera really is quite amazing! No overhead lighting in the pic and the only light is from a window 15 ft away. It came out so much better than I thought it would. (linked, not posted because the huge size) http://i.imgur.com/tP2WqN9.jpg
  16. Less than a month until tons of people (myself included) have their waived line fees go away. I hope Sprint starts getting some temporary staff for the inevitable "WHY IS MY BILL X*$15 HIGHER? RIPOFF!" calls when the January bills go out.
  17. Not sure if it will even be offered in store unless best buy eventually has it.
  18. Just a quick comment about the phone: having Google Now always on is pretty awesome for driving around and also for answering random trivia questions. Really enjoying having all the fancy stuff turned on this phone and still leaving work at 60-70% left. Amazing battery life for me so far.
  19. nice speeds for an airport! The only area that really lacks still in Austin is the airport. Only B25 and maybe 1-3 Mbps.
  20. To echo others: The LTE scan times on the 6P are FAR superior to my Nexus 5. Ive only seen 3g once and it went back to LTE in under a minute. No airplane mode toggle needed for me anymore! I also always go LTE->Call->LTE instantly
  21. Huh, what do you know. You are correct https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/810 WiFi Qualcomm® VIVE™ 2-stream 802.11n/ac with MU-MIMO
  22. So I read up on your link and think I understand the issue. The USB C side allows 3A per the resistor they put in it but the normal USB side can only supply 2.4A (I believe) per the specifications for that connector. So the possibility exists that someone could find an out of spec 3A capable charger with a normal USB connection that provides over 2.4A and thus could potentially damage the cable.
  23. I am not at all worried about getting 3A charge or anything out of this cable. I use it at work as a connection to my PC and even Oneplus says it is rated for 2A. I only use the Google USB C to USB C cable with the charger anyways and this cable is compliant with what the other charger I could use it with has for a rating. Mostly it is a nice compact design with 2 reversible ends that has a tiewrap so I can have better cable organization. Plus, it looks cool. Honestly though I never find myself charging at work like I did my Nexus 5 and according to Ampere the most I am pulling via USB hub or front panel USB is less than 1amp. The Monoprice cables I have are quite beefy but still not nearly as robust feeling as the Google provided USB C to USB C cable.
