The difference is staggering. I've noticed weird coverage maps for roaming before but this is extreme. I hope its an error.

It is staggering and very disconcerting, especially from the TriBand wunderphone. I assume/hope that they just don't have all the data in for the phone yet, but it's still weird since it deviates from *no* phone being chosen.

When viewing data coverage on Sprint's maps, I noticed that areas marked with the light purple for 'off network roaming' when I have chosen the Note 3 (or no device, or most devices) as my device disappear to white 'no coverage' when viewed for the G2.

Can anyone explain this?

Bear with me a few seconds, because of course I know triband LTE matters, but I wonder how much it matters for me here and now.

Generally, in the rurals right now. Specifically, "here" being in SW Missouri, in the Neosho/Joplin area out in the rurals.

Is all of the LTE deployed and working here right now 1900? Are we likely to have any of the other bands here in the next year or two? Are they lighting all 3 bands on all towers eventually, or is 800 and/or 2500 being reserved for metro deployments?

Thoughts?

Hah, I opened this thread just because I wondered how close to Cookeville you were!

Lived there for a small section of my life growing up, but it was a good section. Shout out to you from SW Missouri.

We weren't being confrontational

I was! I want hate and bile!

Though mainly I want Sprint LTE..

You mean other than not being Pentile (which is significant) and being brighter?

It's not superior in Any way

Prefer it in every way? Why? You hate the superior screen on the EVO LTE?

I get good battery life out my GS3. I just get much better life out of my EVO LTE. Yet I still carry the GS3 as my daily device. I prefer it in every way, except battery life. The battery life is noticeably better than my GNex.

Welcome to 2012, Microsoft designed a mobile OS that is competitive with the likes of iOS and android.

And you entirely missed the point.

You are claiming that the original iPhone was the same as other smartphones when it came out and Apple just marketed it better? That's the biggest load I've ever heard. I suffered through a Windows Mobile phone (several actually) on Sprint for years so don't you insult my honor or demean the hell I went through on those pieces of s**t by claiming Apple didn't invent/reinvent the smartphone and touch UI.

I couldn't suffer through this whole post, but I just wanted to respond to this bit here. I for one actually preferred Windows Mobile crap phones over the iPhone until Android was on the scene. Winmo sucked, but at least you could multitask and be in control. To this day, when I have to use an iPhone for a few minutes for some reason, I am reminded how infuriating they are.

That is all.

This thread makes me sad. I can't help but hope that you're all too young to be familiar with very much of Microsoft's history, or you just weren't paying attention to the past 20 years...

I don't think there is any doubt that WiMax was a good decision, as it wasn't so much a decision as something they had to do to maintain spectrum holdings.

What I can't understand is why Sprint ever let Clear manage themselves. With 51% ownership and ever-increasing evidence of ineptitude, wouldn't you eventually step in and take over?

WtW? Do I see Pittsburg, KS lit up on this map?

And Baltimore will get LTE before 92 other Sprint markets. I think most Sprint customers are quite envious of your position. Especially me, being in one of the last NV markets of all. I will likely have 3 or 4 LTE devices before I get service.

Wait.. where's the 'last markets' list?

Curiously no Missouri towns in your list. Joplin, MO has what I believe is a protection site, but it's been a long time since I've tested it. I'm pretty sure I did test it after the tornado though. I don't have any speed reports.

You know it ships with Swype buried inside, right?

We did try out the camera and I sent a few text. Camera = WOW! burst mode it even better in person then what I had seen in the reviews. The stock keyboard will probably be replaced once it's done charging. I may go on a drive later to see if I can connect to any of the "live" LTE towers around here.

Hah, awesome sig!

Handcent here. No issues but I did make sure it was doing the 160 split with counter though.
