If I didn’t know anything about the RRPP, it would almost seem like requiring phones that connect to bands 2, 4, and 12 (in addition to the current bands) make it sound like Sprint is really banking on a merger with T-Mobile.

Would the band number in the 1X Engineering screen always show as “CDMA PCS” as long as the band class was “1” (PCS 1900 MHz) in the EVDO Engineering screen? Would it change to something like “CDMA SMR” if the EVDO Engineering screen showed you were connected to band class 10? Since the HTC One’s EVDO Engineering screen is not accurate, could we use this as a work-around?

Do the channel numbers for CDMA2000 and/or UL/DL channels for LTE change as you switch cells (sectors?)? If so, does that mean each cell can only accommodate 1200 CDMA2000 connections and 649 LTE connections, or can two handsets share a channel through some kind of multiplexing?

Not sure what they where doing today, but it was BAD. I work out in the boonies (but near the highway) and usually get 1-2 bars on my epic but can make phonecalls etc. Today leaving work I was going from 0 bars to 5 bars to 0 bars to 2 bars to 5 bars to 0 bars...etc etc. Trying to call my wife on her Epic Touch in a 3 minute conversations dropped 6 times. Which really made it a 5+ minute conversation. I think I dropped 4 times and she dropped twice. I moved maybe a mile down the road during this time.Holding out for september and hopefully better service.

It's been bad by where I work as well (Gurnee). It was better early this week, but now I'm back to forcing my phone to roam so I don't drop calls and get at least a trickle of data.
