If capable phones are being released but won't allow them to utilize tri-band til early 2014, then why announce 5 markets with limited availability effective Oct 30? Who is this new limited rollout available to? Why not just say Rollout effective Oct 30th with NO availability until early 2014?

Long time follower, 1st time poster. Thought I'd finally register here to help answer a few questions I skimmed over while reading all 47 pages. I've had my nexus 5 fully activated problem-free for 3 days now with bands 26 and 41 enabled. My band priority is 41>25>26. I work all around Chicago as digital operations/network engineer and unfortunately, I have yet to receive any other band other than 25. Once again, as a sprint customer, I feel taken advantage of. They announced that Chicago's Sprint Spark 'went live' a few days ago. Typical sprint fashion, promise the world yet provide the bare minimum. I know band 41 won't be "functional" for some time so I will have to wait and see. I bought my 32gb from the play store, received it monday, went to the sprint store and asked them for a LTE micro sim for my Nexus 5. A rep had a tray full of them and just gave me one. I went home and activated my nexus problem-free. The nexus definitely holds LTE better than my HTC One or iphone 5. Just wish the 1900 spectrum wasn't so overloaded and unusable. I almost jumped ship years ago but loyally stuck around for their new network vision and feel very very let down. If they don't open up the clearwire band and/or 41 soon, I will finally pull the trigger and jump to AT&T.
