  1. I just got an advert in the mail for Framily. At the bottom? "Happy Connecting"
  2. I'm (soft)banking on a Pharell appearance.
  3. How does this reserved spectrum work for Sprint and T-Mobile in the 600MHz auction?
  4. I'm a little concerned, maybe some of you more educated posters can help me out. It seems like Sprint put themselves in a bad place by not getting any AWS spectrum. It looks to me like this is the place to expand, but it's too late for Sprint to join the party. They're not getting the PCS H Block and from what I've heard the 600MHz spectrum isn't the best. Sprint has very little ESMR band spectrum. Are they banking too much on the Clearwire spectrum? Edit: Corrected myself. I mistakenly used Cellular instead of ESMR.
  5. http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/30/5669598/sprint-will-try-to-buy-tmobile-in-june-or-july Source: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-30/sprint-said-to-plan-t-mobile-bid-after-pushing-banks-for-funding.html I was looking for this since you folks are normally pretty quick. It will be interesting to see a timetable for this.
  6. This is a hardware feature this phone doesn't support.
  7. Does anyone here work at a corporate store? I've called several and they say they don't have any for the S4. How many of these do stores typically have?
  8. Yes, I am getting more worried by the minute. Check out this thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/pWGKq9bZfB4%5B1-25-true%5D
  9. That's good to know. I guess I'll be visiting a corporate repair store next week.
  10. Good point. I guess the point is moot if the phone comes with a SIM. We'll just wait and see.
  11. Does anyone know if it's only corporate stores that have the micro SIM's? Do Preferred/ReadyNow stores have them too?
  12. I'm not really worried if the price is as low as expected. I'll just buy off contract and upgrade to a triband phone later. I'm not impressed by what we've seen of the LG G2, although the Note 3 could be good. I don't expect any surprises from Samsung though. Reviews of the Galaxy Tab 3 have been bad.
  13. I don't know how anyone can call that emotional self serving garbage made of run on sentences writing
  14. With Apple, I tend to look at history more than logic. It would not harm them not to support these bands, as consumers don't care, but it would cost more money to support them. I would be surprised if they supported either of the new LTE bands.
  15. It doesn't look like flagship material, but it will not be an exclusive. There will at least be AT&T and Verizon versions.
  16. http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/motorola-xt1056-gains-fcc-credentials-for-sprint/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedly Looks like the XFON will not be tri-band.
  17. I would think the G Pro would not be tri-band since it's an older device. The rumored Optimus G 2 would be more likely I think. Edit: Apparently the Optimus LS980 we're getting has a Snapdragon 800 so there might be more changes. They don't mention the screen size, so it could be either one. The original Optimus G was the LS970, but the AT&T G Pro is E980, which has a Snapdragon 600. Strange.
  18. From the rumors I've read, they're trying to have one phone on all carriers like Apple, Samsung, and now HTC. Google is trying to make them more innovative too. But the leaked pictures I've seen don't look like flagship material. Edit: Now LG might have a bendable display in a phone this year. Optimus G 2 is looking better and better: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/lg-5-inch-oled-display-hands-on/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedly
  19. It seems the OEMs are taking more control of phone announcements, at least with flagships. I wouldn't be surprised to see a ZTE or something, but I would not expect an EVO, for example.
