  1.  

     

    Again explain to me, in lay terms, why the dual-band I-Phone 5s wouldn't be advantageous for pulling data on 800mHz.

     

    As I said Sprint has told us we have 60 days No Risk cancellation here in Chicago

     

    Will the Galaxy 4S Mini be here within that time frame ( I have 55 days remaining).

     

    Is the HTC One Mini headed Sprint's way in Tri-Band, or the Moto X?

     

    (FYI again the 3G signal is so weak inside my house this morning that the Moto X can't sync my Yahoo Email.)

     

    The iPhone would be able to pull 800 MHz LTE once it is available. It won't be able to pull the 2500/2600MHz LTE though, and from information that is out there we know Chicago will probably have widespread 2500/2600 LTE first (and soon). I think that is why people are suggesting a tri-band phone.

     

    I don't think the One- Mini or Moto X will be triband, but I maybe wrong. I would look in smart phone section and read there.

  2. There is also a Protection Site in Fairbanks. Put 800MHz CDMA and LTE on that puppy and it would provide city wide coverage. But not much else without additional sites.

     

    The existing Anchorage Expedience network, especially with 800, would provide good Sprint coverage if converted to Network Vision. The Juneau protection sites would provide enough Juneau/Douglas area coverage. Then they can cherry pick new sites in other towns as needed.

    Sounds like a plan.

  3. I'm curious about the old Nextel sites in Alaska as Nextel (and later Sprint) never advertised any iDEN coverage in Alaska to the best of my recollection. However, converting the Clearwire pre-WiMAX sites probably could give them decent coverage in Anchorage and fair coverage in Juneau.

     

    I just know what I've seen on the premier map. There where only a couple and it wouldn't suprise me if they where collacted with some of the clear sites.

     

    Coverage in Anchorage and Juneau would potentially provide service to most of the tourist from the lower 48 with CDMA phones.

  4. I don't think that is clear, actually. There are a couple discrepancies in those maps Sprint posted. If you read through that thread past the post Rawvega linked to, you'll also get to my post explaining why the ACS & DigiTel networks (and thus most of Alaska's CDMA coverage) will be disappearing soon. I have my fingers crossed that Sprint or at least VZW can build out there before that happens.

     

    Maybe they'll at least convert some of the old Nextel sites or Wimax protection sites to full sites. That could at least provide coverage in Anchorage and Juneau.
