    I have this thread open and the XDA thread open. I bet we get confirmation by midday and the url by end of work day today. I'm guessing sprint posted first thing. Google may not have pushed anything and in fact, is two hours behind overland park

    also did we ever confirm if the VZW update was sent to all N7s? I guess its possible the N5 gets an update only that relates to Spark only if we N5ers didn't get that VZW N7 update. 

     

    my eggs are still in the 4.4.3 update though. Id guess it isn't in the Google 4.4.3 changelog, but is in the sprint websites changelog.

    Oracle Industry Connect — BOSTON — Sprint CEO Dan Hesse revealed in his keynote here Tuesday that the operator is ready to launch its HD Voice service across the US in July.

    HD Voice increases the clarity of a voice call across 7 octaves, as opposed to the 4 octaves that many current smartphones support. Sprint seen some delays to the service, which it first expected to have available in 2013, it is so far only deployed in a few markets like Kansas City. (See Sprint Commits to Tri-Band, HD Voice Phones, Sprint Bringing Spark to Kansas City, and Sprint Delays HD Voice Launch to Q2.)

    "Voice is still the killer app," Hesse told the crowd.

    "Some of you may have experienced [HD Voice], we've launched in a few markets," he said. "We'll launch the entire country around the first of July."

    Having spectrum band options allows Sprint to offer a 4G pizza, "with extra toppings," Hesse explains.

     

     

    Hesse also took the time to try and explain Sprint's "Spark" 4G update plans. "I'm told this is a technical crowd," he said.

    As the image above shows, Sprint is using its Clearwire-derived 2.5 GHz spectrum for LTE speed and capacity. The 1900 MHz 4G portion gets more coverage and capacity, while the 800 MHz LTE signals go a long way for better coverage. (See Stephen Bye: Sprint's Network Visionary and Igniting the Future: Sprint Spark.)

    Hesse says that Sprint can also eek more range out of 2.5 GHZ LTE TDD spectrum with "8 transmitters and 8 receivers in one box" (8T8R) at the cellsite and MIMO (multiple antenna arrays) on the device.

    Combining this with carrier aggregation -- bonding unrelated radio channels for a fatter pipe -- could give Sprint 120 MHZ of spectrum to play with in the second half of 2015, Hesse said.

    "That's two big channels of 60 MHz," he adds. "We're talking 18 months away."

    The company expects that this update could lead to device download speeds of 150 Mbit/s to 180 Mbit/s.

    Hesse told them that this is what justified the company's buyout of long-time partner Clearwire, access to 90 MHz of 2.5 GHz spectrum across the US. "You need these super big highways and that's why we spent all the money for Clearwire," he said. John Saw, former CTO of Clearwire, and the man behind the company's LTE strategy, has just taken over as chief networks officer at Sprint. (See John Saw to Become Sprint Network Boss.)

    I've used to the monoprice 5000 version (I overpaid at $23 ) but I like it. Wirecutter (great review site) reviewed a bunch of them I think the anker ones have great capacity/value.
