What's the signal strength?

Not sure what it is exactly, but a year ago in other parts of the country they were having issues with the network providing the wrong time during NV installment. The issues eventually gets fixed. Temporary fix for the user was to deselect "use network provided time" on their phone.

Are we comparing an Iphone to an EVO on acquiring an LTE signal... EVO has been known to have issues.

I have witnessed this too, many times this has happened since my company switched from Sprint to Verizon a couple months ago. The whole switch has been disaster for many reasons. IT hates contacting Verizon. They say Sprint was always helpful in trying to find a solution.

It has been extremely accurate for LTE by my observation.

I don't doubt that based on what I have seen.

Launch dates mean practically nothing.

No

When LTE is ready it will go live, they haven't been waiting for the entire market.

Falcone is in more trouble now "...Philip Falcone, a billionaire who runs the hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners, must admit wrongdoing in addition to paying an $18 million penalty to settle two June 2012 enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Falcone also agreed to be barred from the securities industry for at least five years. “Falcone and Harbinger engaged in serious misconduct that harmed investors,..." http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-falcone-admits-wrongdoing-in-sec-case-20130819,0,87073.story

Back in June I was getting LTE in Ballston, Virginia Square & Clarendon areas to name a few.

In the individual market threads a lot of people have talked about connecting to 1x800. In addition the accepted map is showing more and more 1x800 sites accepted by Sprint.

Where?

It's not on the Nextel map

I saw new antennas and RRU's up in downtown St Paul on Saturday, but didn't get a chance to take any pictures. I'm guessing that they are waiting on backhaul, as your speedtest shows.

I sense a bandwidth battle between you and Aliensporebomb on this tower

There are many variables involved making "typical" range very.

Your post is full of inaccuracies. First off it's the Minnesota Market, and it's 51% complete. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/?p=145550 NV did not start in Blaine/Coon Rapids in July, for Blaine had LTE live in March. NV is not complete in the Blain/Coon Rapids area. Speeds on LTE is not slow for uses on your phone. Yes, during NV there is temporary instances of degraded service with dropped calls, ect. The temporary problems during the NV rollout is worth it. When you go to an area that is near NV complete with 800, you find out that coverage and speed wise it's night and day. Become a sponsor and you can see what's truly going on tower wise in the Blaine/Coon Rapids. Or you might have to find a carrier that fulfill your needs, Sprint is not for everyone.

Source?

A lot of people wouldn't mind having your "problem" of having full strength 4G.

Sensorly.com shows LTE in Zimmerman.

Both of those cities have LTE live. St Cloud is on Sprint.com 's coverage map for LTE.
