  1. Any handset that performs poorly in the RF lab will not improve in the real world. AJ
  2. Standing ovation. Robert took the words right out of my mouth, saved me from having to write the same post. poor RF figures = poor RF performance average RF figures = good, average, or poor RF performance high RF figures = good, average, or poor RF performance AJ
  3. Why are you complaining? iPhone 6 is out -- in multiple sizes, no less. And, as I told Robert last night, Whole Foods is now accepting Apple Pay. So, why would someone need any other phone than an iPhone 6? iPhone 6. Whole Foods. Apple Pay. Smug, smug, smug, smug, smug. AJ
  4. You do not like the Nexus 6? It looks to be a great handset. Just be careful backing up when you are carrying that thing around... AJ
  5. But if Robert offers to show you the "captain's log," politely decline. AJ
  6. Yes, but the year numbering scheme has changed. Now, 2011 is no longer 2011. It is 1 BS, and 2012 is AS 1. AJ
  7. Yeah, there is this little known app called DontGetAniPhone. Once opened, it repeatedly reminds the wireless network tracking user, "Don't Get An iPhone!" AJ
  8. I agree. Generally, you get what you pay for. And by price, low to mid range Android handsets are a cheap, compromised bunch. But the Nexus 5 -- even a year later -- punches well above its pay grade. AJ
  9. When you get a chance, post the screenshot, and I will take a look. AJ
  10. How in the world did Sprint ever connect with Black & Veatch? The two headquarters are only right across the street from one another in Overland Park. AJ
  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEmJ-VWPDM4 AJ
  12. In CDMA2000, neighbor lists consist of PN offsets, which can be reused within the same SID, even the same NID -- as long as the sectors using the same PN offset are not within earshot of each other. Similar should be true of PCIs. AJ
  13. No, Neal, you are distorting the chronology to suit your argument. USCC did not control Cellular 850 MHz spectrum in Nebraska until Alltel acquired WWC and divested the overlapping Cellular A block licenses in rural Kansas and Nebraska. That was not until 2005, yet USCC had already launched PCS 1900 MHz service in Omaha in 2003. Roughly the same is true of Viaero. It does not serve Omaha, but it did not expand into eastern Nebraska until well after T-Mobile had started constructing a network in Omaha in 2001. So, again, how did both USCC and Viaero receive local exchange numbers but T-Mobile could not? And you can blame Cook Inlet all you want. But T-Mobile is still ultimately responsible for Omaha. Maybe you should say that T-Mobile nee VoiceStream got what it deserved -- for using sham Native American bidding groups to loophole the FCC. AT&TWS and Cingular did likewise, but for the record, Sprint never did that. AJ
  14. No. There is no such dialer code. The MSL is essentially unique to each handset. AJ
  15. It lets you know what inmates are in the neighboring cells. Ben Dover, The Birdman of Alcatraz, etc. AJ
  16. Yes, WiWavelength has become "The Splendid Splinter" of S4GRU, exceeding the 1.700 ratio from August through the end of the baseball regular season. But there has been a shakeup at the top of the standings. Roberto has recently topped the 1.700 mark, too, and surged into a commanding first place lead. (Rumor is, though, he may be "juicing.") S4GRU 1.743 WiWavelength 1.710 tommym65 1.528 AJ
  17. More bullshit. USCC launched newly constructed band class 1 CDMA2000 service in Omaha well after 2001. Come on, Neal, stop with the excuses. You have yet to show any official documentation. And this so called absence of local exchange numbers has not affected any other major operator in the same way in any other major market. The issue does not exist in the way that you think it does. If T-Mobile really wanted to serve Omaha, it could get it done. But T-Mobile does not really want to serve Omaha -- because it and 3GPP are late and so far behind the curve in Nebraska. That is the T-Mobile modus operandi across the geographic majority of the country. Deal with it. AJ
  18. I am sorry, Neal, but nobody else buys that explanation. It is bullshit. T-Mobile is not stopped in the Omaha metro because of lack of available local exchange numbers -- for better than a decade. AJ
