    I prefer SwiftKey to Skype.

    June 10 can't come soon enough. Hopefully the technical issue can be solved before release.

    +1 Is this issue expected to put them behind schedule? A delay in Chicago obviously means a delay in succeeding markets too.

    Could the 3G benefits of Network Vision be limited while the site is "undiscoverable" too? Or does this strictly apply to lte?

    My biggest complaint is the meager 4 gig internal memory. Coming off the 1 gig internal the Evo 4G, that's one mistake I refuse to make again. How large is the ics os? I would think at least 2 gig. That's probably the main reason it ships with Honeycomb.

    I have a "cellphone condom" for my Evo 4G. Knock on wood, it's done the job for the 22 months I've had the phone. HTC is making it for the One X... I just hope they do the same for the specs of the Evo 4G LTE: http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-one-x-slip-pouch-po-s650.html

    Thanks for the report. Any word on 3G speeds from the Network Vision site?

    I saw recently that Verizon is selling off some of its 700 MHz spectrum. Do you think Sprint might be interested? http://m.cnet.com/news/57417425

    Can someone define max ERP? I'm not technically savvy. I wonder if the tech specs of the GNex coming to Sprint are better.

    Are there any other lte phones on the market that use a single chipset? Or is HTC really breaking new ground with this? In my house we have a slogan, "4G no batt-ery." Like you already said, hopefully a single chipset helps that reputation.

    I'm just very impressed with the little easter eggs within this announcement. SD card slot? Bigger battery? A kickstand? Sprint is really showcasing its unique partnership with HTC with this one. Sure the lack of removable battery is a disappointment, but after the HTC One X announcement we all saw the writing on the wall. I still have the OG battery in my OG Evo 4G anyway. I wonder how much the S4 integration of lte will help battery life - if any.

    This is exactly the rationale that leads me to recommend caution to those willing and happy to sign a 20 month contract for bargain basement prices on a wimax phone. Sure coverage will be supported until 2015, but how far into 2015? And at decommission will the wimax network consist of EVERY tower that's in service now? I'd be very surprised if it does.

    This is another example of a sprint service that I don't use and actually despise to a certain degree. <chirp chirp> However, I do know that it is important to sprint's customer base that they get this right. Transportation companies, for one, rely on this service to facilitate communication between their units and headquarters. This should be what they need to not jump ship to another service - which can only be good for Sprint.

    Excitement! Anyone else reading into the pick of NYC as the announcement city? It IS a first round lte market...
  17. chappo2000
    I'm not a fan of windows phones per say, but I welcome the competition.
  18. chappo2000
    I stand corrected. Thank you.

    I'm in a similar situation. April 1st is upgrade eligibility time and my Evo 4G sees the writing on the wall. I need a little more information before I can be confident I'm making an informed decision. Will Sprint's version of the GNex have the verizon or Plus specs? How do those specs compare to that of the Jet? - which I hope will be leaked before CTIA. How long will Sprint lockout the lte on these devices while markets trickle online? DC is a second rounder, so I'm fairing better than most, but no hope for even cluster lte might be what I need to wait for a device that isn't months old specs the day of launch.
  20. chappo2000
    Very true. I suppose it boils down to a cost benefit analysis to determine which option is right for each individual circumstance. That's when staying informed, anticipating changes, and reading S4GRU can really benefit you. lol

    *I just think once that chart drops.... (oops) Also. support for wimax through 2015 essentially means wimax phones will be sold for about another 12 months. Buying a wimax phone any later than that and you risk the network being decommissioned before the end of your contract.
  22. chappo2000
    I've said this a few other places so forgive me. I urge anyone seriously thinking about getting a wimax device to look at the bigger picture. In the land of 22/20 month contracts it's not only apt to consider the device today but also where it will stand in a year or so. I bought my Evo 4G the first few weeks of launch. April 1st is upgrade eligibility time and I consider myself lucky. Had I bought my phone a year later than I did I would be stuck with this device for that much longer. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Evo 4G deserves induction into the Android Hall of Fame. But the sad truth is the device is stuck in time. No more updates, same internal memory issues, etc. A decent device today will not necessarily be a decent device throughout your contract. Also, wimax is said to be supported until 2015 but is the consensus really that it will remain at the same level as today? I just don't think once that chart drops to minimal subscribers to wimax that they'll start pulling back one way or another. It just doesn't make sense to support a network that three people are on - even if those three people are happy with their awesome wimax data speeds. lol

    I guess this means I can stop fantasizing that the wait for the first Sprint LTE devices is the fact they'll have installed a triband (800-1900-2500) LTE antenna.

    A reminder to Shandel Sprint customers: http://s4gru.spruz.com/blog.htm?b=&tagged=Shentel I wonder if Kingsport-Johnson City, TN is Shandel... that market map will be helpful.
