By the time you are talking about upgrading the new triband phones should be released. The thing is...... The market you live in May not have 800/2500 LTE at that point.

Whatever that update did, I finally have LTE service in my house! It's nice to see that little 4G icon up there and not have it flash back to 3G after 10 seconds

That's great man enjoy that LTE. I can't wait until I get to use it.

Does anyone knows what changed with this version?

800 has been active again here for the past few days and when it is active, my phone never switches to 1900, it's always 800 no matter what I do.

Do you see a big improvement of in-building reception?

It looks really sexy, but why does it only have a 1735 mAh battery? So far backwards...

But its rocking the new s4 chip so a battery life should be decent

I'm in one of the cities on the list and I can tell you that sprints in building coverage isn't that great. When I go into any building in the city of Jacksonville or any of the surrounding towns theirs a 50/50 chance that I will roam when I go in side. Hopefully that problem will be gone when 800 cdma comes online.

 

Any chance you switched from a Motorola to a PrimeCo phone? Is that you Lil Troy?!?

Rofl I haven't heard that song in years.

I say sgs 2. If sprint put LTE devices on boost and vm. Postpaid customers wouldnt have a reason to stay postpaid.

I can never ID them either. I can point out every Verizon and at&t set of panels but not sprints. Maybe with network vision we can differentiate the panels from various carriers. Also I couldn't ID vz or att panels until after they finished their upgrades in my region.

I think all towers should be hidden.... When ever I see one, I have to look at it. I might as well be texting while driving.

I thought I was the only one..... Towers distract me like a mofo especially with nv starting in my city.

I know the majority of the stores in my city are premium sellers. Not corporate store we've had about 4-5 corporate stores close down over the past months.

 

The better question would be, when will unlimited data return on Sprint's competitors as a result of the mass exodus to Sprint's truly unlimited LTE network?

If unlimited data was to return on the big two they would probably price it so high that most users wouldn't select it as a data option.

EVO 4g LTE its a really good phone. I finally found an Android phone that can get me a full day of usage

I'm from Jacksonville. The 3g speeds are pretty good. I get close to 1mb down anywhere I go during the day. The speeds has gotten a lot better than they used to be now that sprint has added additional carriers to most of the towers. Also I believe that Robert said that the network vision upgrades are starting in the Jacksonville region.

The whole problem I have with data caps/tiers, is that they are fundamentally different from the 'minutes/texts' tiers that we don't seem to have a problem with.

 

And why is, because minutes and texts have a definitive use/cost structure. A minute is a minute whether you call your mom or your girlfriend/wife. A text is a text regardless whether the recipient is on-net or off-net.

 

Whereas, data usages is inherently an unknown and completely variable factor, and it can't be completely predicted before use, like watching the clock on a phone call or limiting your number of texts.

 

When you go to youtube to watch a video, or you read an email with attachements, it is theoretically possible to know how much bandwidth you will use, but in most cases it is not known beforehand. Further, simply browsing the web is a completely unknown usage factor, because nearly every modern website generates pages dynamically, and often has 3rd party content (ie ads) which introduce further variability even when refreshing the same page.

 

The phone companies obviously see huge dollar signs in tiered pricing, and as noted above, tiered bandwidth tends to force nearly all parties involved (users/phone manufacturers/apps/content providers) to be more efficient, than say when you have an unlimited pipe and you don't have to be 'careful' about going over some arbitrary limit.

I totally agree with you on this. Most people don't know what a gigabyte is. It really hard to keep up with data use especially when you get close to going over

The vid is amazing I wonder if moto will release a razr maxx type device on sprint this year

Online payment

Waldo Florida?

Damn dude I live in jax but I only know of one place I can get those speeds but it's in the morning hours.

I'd rather buy a wifi version and just get a hotspot add on for my smart phone and come out much cheaper.

Very interesting find.

Sweet

I doubt it my voice service was down near my home for a couple days and I had an outage according to sprint the problem is fixed now.

Btw I'm in Jacksonville too.

Seems to me that att wants the 700 spectrum and t mobile wants to swap aws with Verizon in some markets and Verizon wants spectrum Co spectrum. Seems like everyone wins except sprint. I understand that the h block still be opening up but who knows when that will be. If the deal plays out that way I said above do you think that sprint will acquire clear wire sooner than later?

The company that I work for just switched all of our Nextel devices and black berries over to att. They gave us some Samsung rugby 2 ptt phones. Also they've bought a boat load of iPhones and iPads. Completely leaving sprint. Sprint needs to do a better job retaining important business customers.
