I'm heading back to San Antonio tonight. I must be stupid to think that I will be welcomed with LTE signal but I still have that small amount of hope that Sprint will choose Sunday night to flip the switch... even though I am betting for a June 25th date or so.
I am still betting on either a 12th (for the special event) or the 21st with official release of the S3
-
Choices, choices. I don't know which to get. I have S Voice working on my S2's but this old Evo and 3vo are getting long in the tooth. Hell, I might just have to buy one of each now and get the next best thing come this fall
-
I hope you all enjoy your trip to USVI! I haven't made it out that way yet, hopefully before hurricane season
Back on the topic, will this ULTRATHIN case work on the Evo LTE?

I won't miss the lack of a 64GB phone. 32GB + a 64GB microSDXC is plenty...if I need more storage, there's always the 48GB of Dropbox storage that comes with the phone, plus my 25GB on Google Drive. I count cloud services in here because, with LTE, accessing them will be fast enough that not being on-device really won't matter much.
Oh, and 96GB is WAY bigger than the highest-capacity iPhone, which would be nearly $100 more than the card + GSIII combo.
I can certainly agree, however I wish there was an easy way to fix the partition sizes on the internal memory. the system app partition has always been abysmally low, especially if you have a lot of apps. for some reason ICS will not let you move to an SD card or even Internal (USB STORAGE) partition.
I have 48GB of online cloud storage between all of my accounts (drive, box, dropbox, sugarsync, etc.) and have over 14,000 songs stored in Google Music. Local storage seems not to be much of an issue anymore with the cloud readily available (albeit I do not see very good 3G speeds (and no 4g) in my area as of now which can make cloud access tedious if I am on the road. If Google Maps ends up allowing their local map cache data to be stored on secondary internal SD cards that would help to justify the large amount of local storage or locally cached data in my particular situation. I am trying to future proof and have a 64gb card in my asus tf300 as well. It's much more portable than my laptop and can do just about anything I need at the moment (coupled with wifi tether through my phone, i am rarely without a signal, but again, not always the best)

Just to clarify...I'm not saying its six months from now that the OC will be done, but rather it is six months from the start to finish after it begins.

Thanks for the clarification. at least knowing there is progress is sufficient enough. They will probably start working on San Diego around the same time. joy for me
-
Yeah, I think the rep has crossed wires. I'm not near the schedule at the moment, but it probably is not more than 6 months to complete the market.

6 months? awesome. Now if only I hadn't reached my maximum quota of positive votes today. Kudos anyway

My eligibility was 8/1/12 as well. $45 moved it to 6/1/12. All it took was a call to customer service; the Sprint corp store I stopped by in Austin couldn't do it.
@JohnHovah, my guess is that the fee is priced per line, based on the number of months between now and your upgrade eligibility as it stands, rounded up to the nearest month. The cost appears to be lower than the prorated ETF per-line, but higher than the number of months between now and upgrade eligibility, multiplied by the ETF proration amount per month (someone correct me if I'm wrong here; I haven't looked into ETF calculations).
As for insurance, if you've got five lines, self-insure! At $55 per month for insurance, what's the chance that you'll need to replace two of the five phones in a two-year period with $550 models? Or, in reality, would you need to replace three with $00 phones (I guarantee you the Evo and the GSIII will be aorund that price in a few months off of eBay).
Thanks, that was my thought exactly. time to login to the old sprint account

I'm in NY, but decided to go like "what the hell" and searched it.

LOL. I know it's "physic"ally impossible, but I figured what the hell myself

The problem as we've discussed before is that the software has nothing to do with it. The problem is the analog RF IC preamp/LNA & Diplexer / Filter. We still don't know how to make these totally adjustable parts. The SDR (software-defined radios) that Sprint will use still have analog IC electronics that make the transmitter work-- the software part simply lets them load (flash) an LTE or CDMA 1xA or CDMA EVDO Rev. B/A/0 carrier on whichever transmitter that is built into the device. The software and baseband processor are easy-- we're already there. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who has designed an analog diplexer/LNA/filter that is totally programmable, software-adjustable, and can meet the tight emission standards of the various FCC standards (90S/24E/22H) necessary to be approved for use.
I do believe my local Qualcomm is headed in the right direction. I have long said that someone (you still listening Google?) needs to make a truly worldphone capable of handling most every band so that we could simply buy the device and then use it on any choice of carrier, much like the rest of the world does
-
So how exactly do the early upgrade fees get priced? I have 5 lines and don't know if it is better to pay full retail or buyout early. we only have 5 out of 15 sprint LTE devices due to be released for 2012 out so far.
I am tempted to turn off insurance though since its $8/line per month (going up to $11/line) and there is also that pesky $100 deductible for replacement. Seeing as I will be replacing all of my devices anyway, should I even pay for the insurance at this point ($40-$55/month)

I think this is where we need one of our 49th staters to chime in and tell us how they can see Russia from their house

I remember back in the day it was perfectly legal to reverse engineer something. Now if something copies something else in function regardless if the code isn't the same, ohh noes! we must sue!! What ever happened to competing on the quality of your product. I guess those are the bygone days. Some judge really needs to stop this stupid ridiculous crap.
Maybe Samsung can make an appearance before Judge Richard Posner. He just kicked out the Apple/Motorola trial out of his court

So Apple believes it owns the rights to the entire concept of voice control? That is so beyond absurd.
Robert
That's interesting considering they had the feature well after android

I have the Asus TF300. I really want the Infinity or perhaps a Prime 64gb when available. It would be nice if there were more than a GB of RAM though.
-
too bad the 64gb version won't be out until late in the year. then again you can hit up the Sandisk Amazon 75% off sale $59.99 for a 64gb microsdxc! works in my sgs2 so it should work in the 3 (too bad I bought my cards from frys over a week and a half ago)

Hind sight is always 20/20...but it really was foolish to get your hopes up. Even if sprint did send out this mysterious text message...who's to say it wouldn't restate the obvious "LTE COMING IN MID 2012!" or something like that? Although I'm still waiting it out before buying a phone...I was hoping for the best on 6/7.
Maybe on the 21st with the SGS3 release??

Boooooooooomer...
