  1. Awesome article! So I gather the plan is shifting from "get a second 5x5 up where we can" to "swap for C5 and widen the existing 5x5 to a 10x10 where we can"? Does this mean we may see some markets become 10x10-only? I can think of some cases where Sprint could squeeze in an extra couple of CDMA carriers with a contiguous 30Mhz vs a non-contiguous 30Mhz with two 5x5s if I'm doing my math right. And that could make all the difference in some markets.

  2. But my understanding from the Columbus tracking group is that the GCI of the 10 MHz FDD carrier is the same as that of the previous 5 MHz FDD carrier.  And that may have been the intent.  Moving it completely would have required a new GCI.

    Ahh, so this could be a FIT of sorts for widening the original G block carrier to 10x10. I can't think of any other reason for them to risk issues with the original G block carrier instead of using C4+C5, leaving the G carrier untouched.

  3. Great article! Definitely worth the wait.

     

    So Sprint is indeed expanding the original carrier into PCS C5 where possible? Awesome! I was mildly worried that they would have to keep the original PCS G carrier at 5x5 for one reason or another into the far future, even where they held PCS C5 as well. Great to know it's flexible.

     

    Edit: I wonder why they didn't just put the 10x10 in PCS C4+C5 and leave the carrier in G running. Maybe they're specifically testing widening of the original PCS G 5x5?

    Teaser: Hello Moto (X)?

    Overall size will be about halfway in between the 2014 Moto X and the Nexus 6, so take that into consideration.  And tested RF performance looks average to good, just not outstanding.  We did not have time to cover those issues in this teaser article, so we may run a follow up.  More likely, though, we will discuss them in greater detail in a dedicated thread in The Forums.

    Ack! Maybe not then. The original X size was perfect, and it would have been a no-brainer for me if it had Spark.

  4. The Verizon model supports B25 & B26, but not B41:  https://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/

     

    But the Sprint model fully supports Verizon.  Sprint gets screwed again.  Apple could have put Verizon and Sprint on the same exact model.

    It sucks, and is probably the reason Sprint has never been open to unlocking. Unless they are legally required to include B41 and BC10, Sprint will always be comparatively screwed in this department by the other three while most Sprint phones will work fine on them.
