Members are wasting their time asking these kinds of "Will I get band A from site X at my house?" questions. No one here can answer them with any certainty because there are too many variables: ERP, HAAT, azimuth, downtilt, indoor/outdoor, etc. AJ

Band 30. 2300 MHz. AJ

I retweeted literally within sight of the Sprint Campus. Does my tweet thus carry more weight? AJ

A dark matte finish is also supposed to be available -- at least, it is on international HTC One E8 variants. AJ

Did that destroy the battery life on, for example, the HTC One M7 and Samsung Galaxy S4? AJ

Staff has been aware of this device for the last several weeks. Its authorizations hit the FCC OET in late July. We just were unsure what it would be named. AJ

Robert, the lengthy quote includes an inline link to my RSRP article. It has gone around the world and back again. Ha ha! AJ

Is there a consensus on what Qualcomm chipset the Nexus 6 will use? The latest evidence/rumor is that it will be the Snapdragon 805, which is the APQ8084. Since it is an APQ not an MSM, it has no cellular baseband on chip. That means back to two chipsets -- it has to be paired with an MDM, likely the Category 6 MDM9635/MDM9235. And therein lies the rub. The MDM9635 is 3GPP/3GPP2, while the MDM9235 is 3GPP only. The Gobi modems come in a 3GPP only option, while the Snapdragon MSM chipsets typically are 3GPP/3GPP2 -- even for AT&T and T-Mobile handsets, for example. With the MSM8974, the Nexus 5 had CDMA2000 capability on board, regardless. But with a possible APQ8084 + MDM9235 pairing, Sprint could get shut out of the Nexus 6. AJ

Not really. You are probably not aware, but in addition to band 2/4/5/17/25/26/41, the Nexus 5 already also supports two more bands: band 1/19. Moreover, if band 12 is added, that takes care of band 17, too, just like band 25 capability covers band 2 as well. The band distinctions are then done in programming. AJ

By lending its spectrum to Alltel, Sprint did satisfy FCC construction requirements and offer pseudo native service in Montana years ago. But that arrangement went the way of the dodo not long after Alltel did. AJ

You apparently do not know where the vast majority of the Montana population lives. Not in the IBEZ. AJ

…nor in pubic areas. AJ

Since the original poster, juanvaldez, who is visiting Alaska, has stirred up an oil slick of a debate now in this thread, I think that we should change his username to Exxon Valdez. AJ

Note that the aforementioned sponsor PRL thread is not in a public area. This thread is in a public area, so it will get indexed by search engines. And that info could assist those who seek to abuse roaming data for various reasons. That is why I feel that all PRL modification/swap discussion should be limited to the sponsors area. Just food for thought... AJ

I have never done a full spectrum inventory on MTPCS aka Chinook PCS aka sham Cellular One. It was too small an operator to warrant my attention, and as you can tell, I do not like the company. It licensed the Cellular One name not that long after Alltel acquired Western Wireless, which had operated as Cellular One in Montana and much of the West. You just know that MTPCS did so because many people who were displeased at being absorbed into Alltel would think that their Cellular One had returned to the market. SBC and Cingular did much the same thing with AT&T and AT&TWS. It is a shamelessly deceptive practice. But I digress. MTPCS, as I recall, operated in relatively little spectrum: 10-20 MHz per market. So, a flash cut away from cdmaOne was basically necessary. AJ

Come on, Robert, just combine those two statements... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MifWlrkEBD4 AJ

Chinook PCS aka sham Cellular One has a 3GPP only network. It used to be cdmaOne, but that was scrapped after a flash cut to GSM. So, the existing network -- other than maybe backhaul -- is not of much use to Sprint right away. AJ

PCS only. AJ

Domination? More like mitigation of roaming and satisfaction of PCS G block construction requirements. AJ

This transaction involves no Chinook spectrum. Sprint does not need it. AJ

Measure the alcohol by volume percentage of his point, then multiply by two. AJ

So, do you want the $10 or not? AJ

Un-carrier: un-derhanded, un-fair, un-ethical, un-trustworthy, un-scrupulous, un-accurate. AJ

Skynet has become self aware 17 years late. Cyber attacks on the Internet are now more effective against the human race than are terminator attacks. Now, for a little bit of fun during this outage, I will contribute to S4GRU a $10 donation in the name of the first member to write why my facetious post is still particularly relevant. AJ

I sometimes have a bump protruding even more than I thought. But it is a not a camera. AJ
