Cool.  Shipped this morning.

still waiting on mine to ship.  guess i shouldnt have ordered one of those cases together with it in the same order.  i figure that is what is holding it up.

i havent had any problems since i updated.  I installed from the factory images, not the OTA.

You can then verify that they ordered the correct item for you when you get your order number.

you can ask them to confirm the product being ordered.  they will copy / paste the order details into chat and ask you if they should proceed.

same.  looks like they also changed the page for new orders  where it says it ships by oct. 22nd.

Lmao. First time I asked them for the V5 one, and they said I had to wait until the Nexus 5X was closer to release. So I went back in and asked them for a sim for an HTC One M9 and they sent me to 4FF v5 one.

Crap...SIMCARD LTEGSM 4FF USIM REMOV2 wont work? i totally missed the V2.

Time to hit them up again!

now they are sending "SIMCARD LTEGSM 4FF CSIM REMOV2"  guess we will see.

Told chat I needed a SIM for my new MOto X Pure Edition.  She asked the amount of "gigabits" it was so I said 32 gigs.  Seems she sent me a "SIMCARD LTEGSM 4FF USIM REMOV"  Bummer.

It's a hit or miss if they get spares from what I understand. You need to head to a full sprint store with a repair center to guarantee them having spares.

No full sprint stores around here.  All I have is third party owned stores that have repairs centers and this is who i got my Nexus 5 SIM from 2 years back.  Oh well.

They are corporate stores but are not fully stocked. Chat with international chat and say you need a sim cars for a moto x PE and they'll send you a csim 4ff v5 straight away no BS.

Yes, maybe I am just a glutton for punishment but wanted to see what the stores would do.  I can understand if they arent fully stocked but are we to believe that they only get 1 SIM card in for each phone that comes into stock versus just a box of them?

Seeing as how it is thought the SIM card for this would be the same as the Moto X PE, I went to the new Sprint / Radio Shack store in town.  I had the part numbers and such.

I believe it was the manager tells me that I have to go to an actual sprint store or call CS.  I said i have gotten them before from the third party stores.  He then says, "Yea, the sprint stores inside RadioShacks do not have SIM cards.."

Makes you wonder how a Sprint store which sells Sprint devices does not have SIM cards.  I am probably mistaken but i thought the new Radioshack Sprint stores were essentially corporate stores, is this not true?

5X in carbon ordered. will i be able to use the SIM card out of my Nexus 5 without issue?

does anyone have the original 5 radio perf. numbers so i can compare to the 5X?

Based on The Wall articles

The 5X radio performance

B25: 25 dB

B26: 23 dB

B41: 19 dB

 

The 6P radio performance

B25: 22 dB

B26: 19 dB

B41: 22 dB

 

I guess it just depends on which LTE band you value most.

well, thats the other part of the problem...i dont understand the use of those numbers in the wall article.  i gather the higher the number the better in this instance but beyond that i do not understand the context they are used.

damnit i dont know what to do.

I love the nexus 5 and i have never held onto a phone as long as I have the nexus 5.

normally i would wait until a bunch of you have the phones from the pre-order so i could make a good decision versus the 5 and 6 but i have a feeling it will be out of stock for quite awhile and i will have to play the refresh game through the holidays to hopefully get one.

i dont care about camera.  i care more about radio performance. judging by the posts on the wall, the 5 wins over the 6 in that department?  how does the 5X stack up to the 5 radio specs wise?

I think at the time, SERO was marketing genius by Sprint.  Sort of like a plan that went viral.

SERO represents a service being rendered for an amount that is an obsolete steal and doesn't provide the return to Sprint that it should.

I must have missed that article, but what does it cost sprint to provide me service each month, that way I can get a better idea about how much they are "losing" on my SERO plan. 

i rarely use it but GPS has always worked fine for me when needed.

Are there any times during the week for a day or two that you could completely shut off the 1st connections modem and then see what AT&Ts meters show for that time period?  Maybe route all traffic through the 2nd connection for that day or two?

there is plenty of band 26 around southern maine, portland area south.

By the way, whats wrong with this thread: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3934-network-visionlte-vtnhme-market-including-manchester-nashua-portsmouth-burlington-portland-bangor/

I believe Band 5 will work on the Nexus 5 is MFBI is enable on the USCC towers.  5 is a subset of band 26.

Band 12 was deployed for the iphone correct?  Is band 5 their normal band throughout their entire footprint?

Does the nexus 5 have the USCC LTE bands?

Yes, you're right. I was going by what the rep told me. He said another 300mb would be 90 dollars but that doesn't equate to 3 cents per kilobyte which is what he said.

Possibly the actual rate is $0.0003 per kilobyte, which makes a little more sense.  Wouldnt be the first time a rep can not understand decimal placement.  Anyone remember that Verizon issue from several years back?  The caller recorded the convo and it was pretty funny.  "But sir, there is no such thing as 3 hundredths of a cent!"

EDIT--

 

That would be 90 dollars for an additional 300mb. Holy cow!

Wouldnt that be more like $9,000 for another 300 megabytes?

Is this the same UConnect system that the hackers were able to control a jeep on the interstate earlier this week?
