  1. Somewhere near 99.9% of Sprints sites will get LTE, so the likelihood of those sites in/near Maricopa being upgraded to LTE is almost a guarantee. I cannot speak for coverage there though, but 800MHZ CDMA and LTE upgrades are in full swing now, and that is only going to further improve coverage and capacity.
  2. lol. But, Seriously, man.. I'm scrambling here!
  3. Hey Buddy, I am looking for a last minute Christmas gift and this phone is on the top of my list. I am between this and the HTC One Max. I was hoping you might be able to give me a more detailed impression after a few days of use. I need the biggest screen possible, which is why I am considering these 2 devices. My local Sprint store is open till 5 on Christmas Eve so, that's my deadline. lol Your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
  4. This is great to see... Clever title there, too!
  5. OP: I don't think I'd go with a non-triband phone at this point in Sprints NV deployment. I'd bet if you had sponsorship at S4GRU, particularly Premier Sponsorship, you would reconsider writing off the importance of a tri-band device and the advantages they bring for network connectivity and usability. And, the sponsor maps Robert has produced show just how fast things are progressing as of late. It is really quite impressive. I would think most sponsors here would agree. Then again, maybe SVLTE really is requirement for you, though.
  6. The best thing to do would be to become a sponsor and check the maps for upgraded towers that surround your residence.
  7. Is it just a one time shot of 200 or, do they hook you up with 200 megs a month?
  8. If not, I contacted Sprint Worldwide Chat and they shipped me a sim card right away, for free, no questions asked. I contacted them last Wed, and they got it to me today for free--No shipping charge either (also, they do have a 12 dollar overnight shipping option). Edit: Here is the link to chat: http://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch
  9. By network connection, do you mean native Sprint 3G/4G connection? If so, that is not true. Sprint has allowed access to SprintTV via WiFi for quite sometime.
  10. I'm not sure if he is still providing this service but, at one time, our S4GRU Official FCC OET Reporter (Macinjosh) had a side business making screen protectors. His rates were affordable. I'm not sure if he still operates this business but, you may want to check with him for screen protectors.
  11. Does anyone know if this is what Sprint refers to as a "World Phone?" I'm just wondering if it could be used in Mexico. Thanks!
  12. Thanks for the update. After the crews install the new equipment, somebody has to come by and inspect/accept the site before it is active for the end user. Sometimes that happens fast, sometimes that happens slow. And, yes, backhaul may still need to be installed. Has the legacy equipment been taken down?
  13. http://news.msn.com/world/googles-mystery-barges-revealed-as-luxury-showrooms I guess when your shares are worth over a thousand bucks a pop, you can splurge on some lavish party venues and showrooms.
  14. I don't know, but I hope people don't/can't circumvent the hotspot feature without activating it ethically.
  15. I'm just glad Sprint worked this out with Google (and they didn't let VZW ruin it for CDMA/Sprint). Huge high five to Sprint and Google on this one! It's even tri-band! Exciting stuff going on here at S4GRU right now! It's awesome to have the N5 both subsidised and available via Google Play.
  16. Gotchya. I was mostly being funny though (or, trying to anyway).
  17. No changes were made to my plan when I pre-ordered the G2.
  18. No, Sir. Sprint Spark, though may be capable of producing those speeds, is not the same as wifi.

  20. "Winter Garden Police said in an email that a clerk had just minor injuries after a robber fired a bullet at his abdomen. Police say his cellphone stopped it" http://news.msn.com/crime-justice/fla-police-cellphone-stops-bullet-fired-by-robber Sounds like abdominal area. Pry had a jacket or a hoodie, or something similar with front pockets.
  21. Well, the poster I replied to said he was quite a ways off from an upgrade. If he wanted a new, high end device, he'd have to pay the full, off contract price, which is typically well north of 500, or even 600 bucks. All I was saying is that people in that situation could now get a new, high end device that supports Sprint's tri-band LTE (and has the bonus of being pure Android) for 350. I don't think its a bad deal.
