  1. If I were Sprint, I would keep the BRS/EBS and also try to get some ass. I mean, after all, who does not want to get some ass? AJ
  2. Do not confuse upfront questions with aggression. Additionally, understand some context. S4GRU attracts a lot of AT&T and T-Mobile trolls and Sprint defectors. This site does not exist to advocate a one way street of unlocked device compatibility flowing from Sprint to other operators. That undermines Sprint and is a patently unfair situation. As for Sprint being the most "anti consumer" claim, you probably will not like this, but that makes you out to be a typical, ignorant consumer -- and that is an honest assessment, not an insult. You ostensibly know nothing of what the Twin Bells are trying to accomplish legislatively and judicially regarding competition, spectrum aggregation, Net neutrality, etc. Basically, all of it is anti consumer -- unless all you care about is the end result and assume that the end result is the only viable result. AJ
  3. Who cares? All of the big four operators are at least somewhat anti consumer -- VZW and AT&T far more so. Additionally, the other three are all effectively anti Sprint. Are you, too? If so, go find another provider. We encourage you to leave. AJ
  4. Hi Milan... I get all of that. But let us be honest about it. With available devices, the current T-Mobile deployment is not higher order MIMO -- it is just spatial diversity. Now, that is a good thing. However, is it really different from what the former Clearwire wing of Sprint is doing? We already have evidence of 8 Tx antenna infrastructure. Do we really think that it is not using spatial diversity, too? AJ
  5. AT&T and T-Mobile can ensure that their devices are unlocked and support CDMA2000 and Sprint specific LTE bands. Until then, the complainers are trying to tilt the playing field unfairly toward the namby pamby Eurasian centric 3GPP operators. And those folks can go get bent. AJ
  6. "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" If T-Mobile deploys higher order MIMO and no current UE can use it, does it matter? AJ
  7. And the appropriate response to those folks is... AJ
  8. Yes, unless my memory is failing me, all of the Snapdragon chipsets that support LTE are full 3GPP/3GPP2. But it is probably a licensing issue with Qualcomm. None of the major domestic operators is likely to offer this cheap Chinese handset directly in store or online. That rules out VZW and Sprint, thus rules out CDMA2000. Even AT&T and T-Mobile users will probably have to buy this handset elsewhere. AJ
  9. Ah, the day is mine, Trebek. The answer is Febtober. AJ
  10. Currently, handsets that use Qualcomm LTE capable chipsets also have CDMA2000 capable chipsets. But that capability will not be implemented. Count on it. CDMA2000 is dying. And the namby pamby Eurasian centric rest of the world is basically flipping the bird at VZW, Sprint, and by extension, the US. It pisses me off to no end. AJ
  11. I am not particularly happy with Google right now. Google has killed off the Gmail Notifier for OS X. Almost assuredly, the Calendar Notifier will follow. Moreover, changes to the Google Voice/Hangouts ecosystem have recently bungled GrowlVoice for OS X, and GrooVeIP is next on the chopping block. So, Google Voice integration for Sprint is not as useful any longer. The "don't be evil" company is starting to become evil. AJ
  12. With a few thousand users across the country, a site location database could be "crowd sourced." The problem would be finding a few thousand users who are competent. Without that, erroneous IDs would run rampant. AJ
  13. Nope. I will eat my words, but I doubt it. A cheap Chinese handset is never going to support CDMA2000 -- not to mention, Sprint's quasi boutique LTE bands. So, the thoughts here will be minimal. AJ
  14. Karl is not a journalist; he is a "blogger." His stances on Net neutrality and competition are appropriate, but most everything else is Sturm und Drang. That is his modus operandi. AJ
  15. Damn, David beat me to the punch, stole my thunder as I was typing. I know my TV station geography. AJ
  16. He works for a Fox affiliate and so does your wife. Maybe we should just call this thread the Fox den. AJ
  17. Yes, there are a lot of fat people in rural areas. AJ
  18. He is up in Cumming? I guess that makes him an up in Cummer. (Say it aloud if you do not get it.) AJ
  19. Good. Let the leased EBS 2600 MHz count toward the spectrum screen for the AWS-3 auction. Absent a merger with T-Mobile, Sprint wants no part of that band -- the AWS-1/AWS-3 ship has sailed -- so any change in the screen would be irrelevant to Sprint. AJ
  20. Uh, we already did it. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4474-le-glorious-premier-sponsor-lounge-title-length-concern-housing-real-estate-mall-wart-im-a-man-im-40-john-wilkes-booth-flat-panel-tv-and-bad-day-for-beantown-thread/?p=306332 AJ
  21. Joe Lunardi says that Denny, yuhfhrh, bucdenny, and chapagetti are all on "the bubble." AJ
  22. Of course, you are, Josh, of course... AJ
  23. While the handset is certainly malfunctioning, I am not sure that I believe it is "stuck" on a site in Greensburg. We would need to see engineering screenshots of PN offsets or BSIDs. AJ
  24. You should be taking Tylenol BM instead. https://screen.yahoo.com/tylenol-bm-000000677.html AJ
