Working late, storms, living in NW Washington...you just want more time to play with the phone! LOL, jk.

almost a simultaneous post!

That's probably it

Congrats!

Being unlocked, is there still the ability to add sprint zone and use WiFi calling? - thinking about getting one for mi madre. I'm also pumped for that set of 3 WiFi disks...lots of dead spots in my new house.

Is it really an exclusive when all carriers (presumably) have access to it through the play store - I wonder if verizon will put their logo on the phone

I recall reading AJ's and lilotimz posts on PCS H block's problems. I wonder though if at some point in the future the gubment will decide to consolidate spectrum and offer Sprint/Dish the ability to include H block into b25. I know it would require new hardware to accommodate the expansion, but since the only real barrier is the politically divvy'd up spectrum (as opposed to the actual physical frequency) - I'd say it would be possible to repack B25 if there was enough motivation.

I wasn't really referring to the click home button vs the taptic™ home button. I guess it's just my preference to prefer a mechanical one. I was wanting your thoughts as to Jony Ive's vision of how a slab of glass would be simplistic. Visually, yeah. But functionally I see it being more complicated. Dedub summed up my thoughts of how apple would work around a home button-less iphone.

To me, having a physical button is more simplistic than relying on software to navigate the phone. I find it comforting to have something on my phone that isn't going to be messed up by a firmware update and gets me out of the application with one click (now its a press on the iphone). Getting rid of the home button would needlessly complicate the phone.

I don't understand the forcetouch home button. What was the reason for the change? I'm not an iphone user but I always felt the clicky home button made the phone feel more quality - like a well made machine (or similar to a Leica - as Jobs said of the iphone 4)

I believe the Jags will be a London based team in 10 years...

Is it possible that you have reached a cap and now your service is de-prioritized or under some sort of optimization?

I only know of 1 B41 site in Jefferson County, WV. But it does have CA. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Ah, that makes sense. AT&T for that part of rural VA and WV is the standard. Shentel's expansion will be great for increased competition.

Google maps kept trying to take me off onto side roads, I guess because it hasn't been updated on the progress of the road yet. I did have us cellular in some spots but I never got Verizon roaming on my phone. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

In Elkins today, took corridor H to get here off I81. No service for most of the way but there is very usable 3G in Elkins. It will be nice to see the progress shentel will make in the next couple years. I'm thinking 2 years to get it on par with AT&T. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

LOL. Must be slow news week if people are still thinking about this. I'm just pointing out that a multi-billion dollar corporation rarely releases press releases without some sort of editing or proofreading process. So this means that Sprint must have purposefully released their statement without specifically stating as compared to iphone 6s,6s+ preorders. The, however slight, vagueness means one could read between the lines if they were so inclined. That being said...I do believe it is as compared to iphone 6s preorders which is welcome news. But just like Professor Frink the press release makes me laugh, makes me think. https://vimeo.com/77464631

Of course it is But by reading critically you can pick up on marketing spin...and people trying to mislead you.

The article didn't mention that they were comparing sales to the iphone 6. It just said iphone 7 sales compared to last year.

I know its semantic but Sprint is touting a 375% increase in sales of the iphone 7 compared to last year...iphone 7 wasn't available last year. So yeah...there will be a big uptick in sales kinda like how there will be a 100% increase in rain when there is a hurricane.

Are you trying to make fun of Sprint for doing this?

No more activity arrows or spinning sunflowers. Webpages just load without the distraction.

I agree with a lot of comments talking about the quick response on Samsung's part. From first being aware of an issue to recall in the span of 10-14 days? I cant think of a multinational/global corporation acting this responsibly.

It's gonna be hard for Apple to get over their initial debacle though. Especially when ppl compare bad software to Apple Maps..."It's Apple Maps bad" to quote a popular show

Calling out someone's personal experience as invalid is like the pot calling the kettle black my friend.
