  1. Clearwire / Sprint is jumping straight to carrier aggregated 20+20mhz pipes which is one of the key elements of LTE-Advance. So in a way, yes. But the issue is there's no device out there that can do carrier aggregation, yet. Not until the S800 series of chipsets come online at least...

    There are 3 devices out right now that cover it . 2 wifi hotspots and a usb dongle that got released Friday which is why Robert right now is having some Fun.

  2. Here is a example of what I'm doing on the Friday the 26th. Picking up the HTC-8XT, trading in the phone I have which have a heat problem. Paying 400 - 125 for trade in which will bring my cost down to 275 without having to readjust contact or any thing else. If I wanted to I could go the other route and do a whole contact readjustment and pay lower but I rather buy straight out. Didn't have to wait for 6 months pass by to start jump. Don't have to worry about next or edge over priced markups. And I still control what I do with my phones.

     

  3. I guess we can all say that duffess has made it easy for himself to be prosecuted for criminal trespass at a cell site by posting a video of it on YouTube. You are right about him deserving to get burned. Bad part about it is he is a ham radio operator who is to nosey for his own good.

  4. That's not always a good idea. My HTC EVO LTE only goes for $200-230 on craigslist meaning I would still have to pay $400 or so to get a new phone that way. If Sprint had something like Tmobile where I could trade in my evo and get new customer price for my new phone I would save a lot more money

    Just 1 little problem, with TMobile, you are already paying full msrp plus markup on a phone and then paying them more just to upgrade on a device you own and don't get to keep. And then kick in another $175 dollars to boot. On AT&T's plan of you are on contract instead of pay as you go. Not only are you paying for subsidizing your phone on contract. You are also kicking in another 10 to 50 dollars a month to upgrade to another phone. Taking about getting reemed.

     

  5. Some how I think to many people are over thinking on this thread. Which is making things more cloudy instead of seeing things clearly. Myself, I changed over from the the everything data plan into the new unlimited plan and I'm not seeing a dollars difference. No one has a gun being held to the head saying you have to switch or else. The same thing is happening now as back then when Sprint brought out the plans I just switched from. To replace the Free and Clear plans.

     

  6. Here is something to think about. Just using round numbers. VZW has 90 million subs. AT&T has 100 million subs. VZW sold 4.1 million iphones for the quarter and AT&T sold 6 million for the quarter. What I want to know from the numbers is where the heck is 70 percent coming from? Unless it is 70 percent from previous numbers which does not make it a gain, makes it a loss.

  7. Well I did just pull the plug and switched from Everything Data to the new $80 dollar plan. It took ammo away from the people who always argue about the $10 premium data fee. You still have your usual fees and taxes, and what ever extra's you want to put on like I still have TEP for $11. Oh by the way You can choose unlimited data or you can choose 1gb of data for $10 a month if you don't use that much in the first place. The choice is yours.

  8. Just got this from seeking alpha.

     

    Sprint (S) overhauls its prices and provides lifetime unlimited voice/data guarantees just a day after the SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) merger closed. The carrier is offering smartphone users unlimited voice/text/data for $80/month for the first line on an account, with the price gradually dropping for lines 2-4. A $110/month plan that throws in 5GB of hotspot usage is also being rolled out. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son has made it clear Sprint will compete aggressively on price against AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ), who have been trying to migrate subs to costly shared data plans. Sprint's announcement shortly follows the launch of T-Mobile's

  9. How is this new. When you are paying for the phone out right under no contact. I don't see how this is so wonderful. Oh by the way TMobile marks up by at least $50 on msrp. If I see a new phone that comes out on Sprint, I'll just go and buy it sans contact - the price I get for my trade in. Do that anytime I want.
