I was on the Sprint campus a few months back, and as I was landing at the airport nearby, I realized I wasn't in NY anymore. Cows surrounding the airport, and everything was flat and featureless.

Pretty good read, from fiercewireless.com

I have a question. I see people throwing around 800MHZ and 1900MHZ in comparison to 700MHZ. Can someone explain to me what this means as far reception inside buildings? I have always been sort of jealous of my Verizon using friends because it seems like they and T-Mobile customers I know have great reception indoors at my job but I sit looking at my icon grayed out most of the day unless I'm in a exact location in my building. I wish I could tell Sprint they need a tower over here..
T-Mobile may have a tower closer to your building than Sprint. In most parts of the country, Sprint and T-Mobile use the same frequency, 1900mhz, so it could be a tower placement issue.
Verizon uses their 700mhz spectrum strictly for LTE data, not 3G voice or data.

Depends on who did the install. I'm sure they will need to be upgraded, depending on how they are installed.

We don't need any Chicken Littles running around here. LTE is coming live. This is a good thing. This is not the end of the world as we know it. This is the beginning of the world as we always wanted it.

As a power user, speed is everything, but when I look at what I do with my phone and tablet, I think I'm in the same boat as the majority of the folks here, that 5-8mbps is more than sufficient.
I want to be able to stream Netflix during my commute home, or watch Youtube HD, and I can't do that right now.
-
Honestly, I'd just hope it has LTE on 1900...please.
-
We're getting there!
I'm impressed, now let's see what the network speeds look like with a load.

The Sprint Version of the Galaxy nexus supports 800mhz smr

Are you sure? Hmmm, will have to double check on that.

Pryo, you have a Verizon Gnex?
Ok, so here is my two cents on the whole 4G thing. It's marketing, pure and simple. But newspapercrane is right, people love buzz words. I had to explain to a contractor working on some stuff in my office that his iPhone 4S was not 4G, even though the iOS update relabeled HSPA+ to 4G.
-
Meanwhile my Galaxy Nexus has nada.
-
I hate you.
LOL
-
I noticed that as well on my Gnex. I was out for a drive this morning, and noticed poor signal in places that my Epic Touch would be fine. I'm referring to real dB differences.
Hopefully it's a fluke.

If they did merge, maybe this would be the new logo? Or not.
LOL nice! Though I would make it all one font

I hate being an employee when it comes to new phones, I'll say it again
That being said, I'm actually on the fence on what device to go with. I have 2 rebates that are unused, one which I'm holding off for the new iPhone, and the other, well, it depends on what's coming out. I have an EVO LTE at work that I've been playing around with, and can't seem to put it down, but I want to see the GS3 in person.

I just read that review, and the Nexus 7 does NOT support Wireless-N at 5ghz, which makes me a sad Deval.
My house is surrounded by access points, all running 2.4ghz, so I have mine set at 5ghz.
Looks like I won't be buying the Nexus 7 if that is the case.
-
Thanks for the prompt replies folks - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.
FYI: my S3 was delivered with 4G turned off.
Yep, all the devices come with the radio configured for CDMA only. Makes senses from a standpoint of coverage.

$25 with free shipping, and I'm sure it will work on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus as well
-
I'm confused, what am I looking at?
I have a 900p screen here
-
Another naive theory: Could it simply be that in cases where the new NV network is installed side-by-side with the legacy network, blasting away but being blocked, the NV signal (or at least its pilot channel) is interference that clobbers the Ec/Io of the legacy tower?
Once a site has upgraded 3G equipment, the legacy equipment is turned off. The only thing being blocked from what I've read here is LTE, not 3G/EVDO.

Don't forget the Galaxy Nexus. Its not my job, I'm grossly under paid like most state government employees. But I do a lot of side work building/maintaining sites and teaching in construction technologies. The money I make on the side pays for our vacations and my technology fund.

LOL...I think I'm under paid as a Sprint employee
-
Ah yes, the married life. The girlfriend and I are coming closer and closer to that moment, but I think she gets my quirks when it comes to technology, and respects it.
Back on topic though, I'm on the fence on this one...I don't think there is anything better in the 7" space at the moment.

The only LTE device I'm missing at this point is a Viper. If they are only $200 cash, maybe I should look into getting one? It'd be great for the radio performance test.

I want your job where I can get a GS3, an EVO LTE, and a Viper

Makes sense man, I've been satisfied so far with the speeds and coverage. (13 years as a customer now).
I recently took a road trip with the girlfriend to PA for wine tasting and fresh fruit picking, and was impressed with the coverage. We were able to stream Pandora on her iPhone for the entire trip from NY.
