The more and more I read, it just doesn't seem like this awesome phone will come to Sprint... I have no idea how reliable this site is, but it lists many of the specifics. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/lg-v10-smartphone-hands-on,30230.html

So say you were connected to one of these repeaters, would it display as the same information (like GCI and PCI) as if you were connected to the macro site? Or would it have it's own numbers?

I was going to say... because if they killed the plan that much to the point where I can't even do that...

Can the account owner at least add new lines to their Framily still?!?!

This!! ^^^ That is by far one of the best and easiest explanation. B26 was never made to be a primary, strenuous use band. It's like one of those things that's there as "just in case" or a "backup" but shouldn't be used constantly. B25 and ultimately B41 are the workhorses. This is why optimization is SO critical. If you have a site that's out of sync, you'll wind up having numerous amount of people on B26 but no one on B25 or - if it's deployed - B41. Then you have the mess of people complaining that the network is slow, when in reality it's really not. It's just not optimized to all it could be and you essentially have a full band of LTE - that's actually supposed to have the majority of users on - in the corner twiddling it's thumbs waiting for use. When you're actually in an area with optimization and full build sites all around, Sprint really does kick butt.

"Boost Mobile introduces the only plans with growing data. Get 500MB of extra high-speed monthly data after every 3 on-time payments. Up to 3GB after 18 on-time payments. Or, choose the $60 plan and getunlimited high-speed data right from the start." http://www.boostmobile.com/shop/plans/growing-data/ There's a catch though... you only get that 5GB after a year and a half.

Keep a watch on Swappa. As I've been watching the iPhones, I've noticed the Air 2's pop up on there every so often. However they get snagged pretty quick.

More than 8.5 hours of unscreen time and almost 33.5 hours of standby... OMG that's freakin' insane

Seeing as it's my 21st birthday on Monday... I'm hoping I win myself a present! Gotta go through bills and stuff first, but I might be able to throw in a little more tomorrow morning.

If you have a different device or screen you can view the site on, one might show colors better over another. But really... They just chose a bad color scheme.

I tell ya, eye doctors should use that 3G coverage map as part of their exam. What a mess. The shades are so close that even I'm having trouble figuring out what color is which...

As of 10:12 pm centeral time I've had no issues. Sent and received texts and called my mom no problems. Both were near Appleton.

They must have just changed it again within these past couple hours! Weird. Anyway, glad it's still there and it's a little bit better explained for the average consumer.

So I have now had my Karma for about a month... so here's my review on it. The day I got it I was so extremely busy I never updated this thread so I decided to get some road use on it first and then update. So right now it's been my business buddy. I keep it so I have a secure connection for my laptops and tablet as I go meet with clients and while I'm working so I don't need to rely on finding/holding onto Wi-Fi. It's one of my biggest pet peeves to use open Wi-Fi. The moment I turned it on it took me about 5 minutes total to get online with all my devices. After the setup, every time I need to connect it's super fast and easy. I also noticed that every time I looked at the device itself, I never had less than 3 rings (full signal). As for speeds I was first connected to a full NV complete tower with B41 - which I usually get 30-40 mbps on - I pulled about 15 down which is plenty for what I'm using it for. From there on I was mainly pulling 5-12 mbps down, which still is plenty fast for what I bought it for. It also is the advertised speeds. All towers that I were on had minimum of B25/B26. I have had only one person connect to it while I was working, but everything on that end has worked flawlessly. I received an email letting me know I had a new person connect and I got a free 100 mb. Not bad! It was well worth the wait for me, and is a great way to give clients and guests Wi-Fi with my business name in without digging into my bucket of data. The battery life is also as advertised though I have gotten 6 hours out of it a couple times. So far, a month in, I'm pleased and hope I can get a lot of use out of it!

Watching Me

Pointed this out in the North Wisconsin Premier thread... but the whole southern half of Wisconsin lost it's roaming that used to be considered "Off-network roaming."

I've been checking since 12:01 am on the 11th to see which cities are covered in Green Bay to update our premier thread info... I'm guessing they're all getting side tracked by the iPhone!

Pink Flamingo As much as I hate pink in the phone industry, I love actual flamingos!

I'm absolutely AMAZED (good amazed, not sarcastic amazed) at the comments on Karma's blog! The speedtest numbers are very, very good and people are giving awesome feedback. Which I was really hoping is what would happen... Because as we see more positivity, the more and more we can keep saying: "And remember, it's on SPRINTS network!" I'm in line to receive mine this Tuesday and not a moment too soon either, because I will be able to use it for work the same weekend.

Brace Yourself Sorry... I had to...

Hooray! Just one hour ago I received my shipment email that my Karma is heading my way - finally - so I hope I'll have it to use for work on the 14th!? Also found a great YouTube Review:
