I wish this could open up to sprint allowing boost mobile, virgin mobile, and sprint prepaid devices on post paid.

Hoping for new sites in east Texas!

I really hope they include the ipad mini 2. I bought one from best buy when the mini 3 came out, and used the trade in promotion to get one almost free. But of course it wont activate on sprint as its an "ATT" model, but all cellular mini 2's were including band 26/band 25 iirc. It reads the sim and shows LTE for a small time, but goes into a locked mode of sorts until a non sprint sim is in. Fingers crossed!

Disappointing that at least Samsung doesn't seem to care much about good RF performance on a phone.  The S5 seems to be meh, Note 4 similar meh, and the Edge is even worse.  Motorola seems to realize that yes RF performance is important.  Apple, too

the s5 actual out performs the nexus 5 in all of my test. I would say overall the galaxy s5 gives me the best LTE performance, the nexus was good, but it was plagued with battery issues, and the best Baseband for me was one I had to flash, the s5 is using stock Baseband.

So my guess New Orleans will be first on that list has there been any improvement In that market as of late?

Does this device have carrier aggregation for multiple band 41 connections?

I couldn't find it, I thought it would say under the SAR reports. My best guess would be no.

Looks to be a decent RF performer. Hopefully should be around Nexus 5 RF wise.

I think Son is going to let other companies try for TMobile. The three companies stated in an above comment , if approved for the buyout, will raise prices, not complete the edge to LTE upgrades. Leaving sprint to gain from their subscriber lose. T-Mobile will return to the red once again. Also I have a feeling that sprint is going to go after some regional carrier they have the roaming agreements with.

There are Verizon rural partners participating in the CCA. They will be opening up new coverage on their sites. These would be separate from the Verizon LTE network.

Oh so basically they will run LTE with Verizon back end, and also Sprint spectrum LTE as well? But Sprint only having access to the Sprint side of the deal, and same for Verizon?

So I'm curious what Rural carrier could be covering the area southwest of Tyler Tx(east Texas)? The only other carrier is a Verizon affiliate.

This should be a decent sprint prepaid add on. Put in line with the s4 mini with a larger screen

 

Would an october 2nd release sound too early? Read somewhere about they are expecting it then.

The 8gb of internal storage sounds a bit like the s4 zoom? almost the right size
