  1. Legere out now that merger is done. Was originally supposed to leave in May. Mike Sievert now CEO. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/01/legere-is-out-as-t-mobile-ceo-as-sprint-merger-officially-closes.html
  2. I don't expect to ever get android 10, but they have kept the security updates coming. Not sure how much longer though but it looks to be at least one more.
  3. Well, this thread certainly has died. I supposed most have moved on now. But today I received a message from Sprint that Calling Plus was going to be removed and replaced with VoLTE in an upcoming device update. The update is supposed to come by 3/31/20.
  4. Looks like the official ruling is out. It's now officially, official. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/11/sprint-soars-after-judge-approves-its-merger-with-t-mobile.html I'm sure California and NY are working on their appeals as we speak. But I imagine that has an even slimmer chance of success than the original lawsuit. I would imagine Tmo and Sprint will move very quickly to close out the deal at this point.
  5. Texas settles with TMo and drops opposition to merger. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sprint-m-a-tmobile-idUSKBN1XZ1VG?taid=5ddbfe359007110001d302ca&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
  6. Legere will be out at TMo in 2020. Mike Sievert to replace him. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/18/mike-sievert-to-succeed-john-legere-as-ceo-of-t-mobile-on-may-1-2020.html
  7. The fcc announced that it has officially approved the TMo/Sprint merger. Order here... https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-approves-t-mobilesprint-transaction-conditions
  8. Yes, in my example the strike price is basically a floor. Once the share price is above that you could wait until the price hits $20 before you cashed in. Then you buy your shares at the option price of $10 and you would pocket the difference. The expiration date of option is something you'll decide on. You can buy options expiring 1 month from now or a year from now. Maybe more. They'll all have different strike prices. You'll have to decide whether the stock price will be above those values within the expiration dates you're looking at. Now this is all for "call" options. Which means you're wanting to buy shares because the price will rise in the future. There's also "put" options if you want to sell shares because you think the stock will go down in the future.
  9. Looks like it finished at $7.99 per share on Friday. NYSE:S https://g.co/kgs/73yAgV
  10. The "strike price" is the price at which you can execute the option contract and actually buy the shares. Simple example. you buy an option contract to buy 100 shares @ $10 per share. The "strike price" is $10. Once the stock price reaches $10 per share you could exercise the option and purchase the underlying shares. Then keep the shares or turn around and sell them.
  11. Announcement should be tomorrow. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sprint-corp-m-a-t-mobile-us-doj-idUSKCN1UL07T?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=5d3a788e595b5a0001c31bb1&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
  12. I can tell you that I've had my Note 8 since release day and I've yet to replace the original nib from my pen. And mine still seens to have plenty of power to run every app out there. I will say that the battery on phone does not seem to last as long as it used to, but after almost two years that's to be expected. I need to go my Sprint store and see if they do battery replacements.
  13. Looks like the November 1 security patch is incoming. I'm downloading it to my phone now.
  14. Looks like October 1 security patch is incoming. There's mention of some camera improvements coming along for the ride. I would paste the screens hot but it's too big to upload. So I extracted text below. Software update information • Version: N950USQU5CRIA/N950UOYN5CRIA/N950USQU5CRIA • Size: 444.45 MB • Security patch level: September 1, 2018 What's new · A new Camera function has been added(AR Emoji, SUPER SLOW-MOTION) · The security of your device has been improved. Hmm... After further reading it claims security and camera improvements but keeps patch days at September 1.
  15. September 1 security patch incoming. Seems a bit early this month but I'll take it.
  16. Substantial price hikes too. I got a mailer about this a couple months back and the price for my phone was going up a few dollars a month. Have to remember to cancel before the new prices kick in.
  17. Hmm.... not certain what this means. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/11/fcc-says-it-is-pausing-180-day-shot-clock-on-its-review-of-a-merger-between-t-mobile-and-sprint.html
  18. I am too. Basically I'll keep it until TMo forces me onto another plan. But Sprint seems to moving to tighten the screws. I'm sure they'd like to get the stragglers off and onto one of the silly unlimited plans.
