PR says the preorder link goes live tomorrow (November 1). On One Up, the price works out to $450/$500, so you're paying a $100 premium over buying from Play Store to pay over 24 months. The major question is how much of a PITA it will be to get the microSIM from Sprint for the unlocked Play Store edition.

On the technical specifications page it says on the last of the 3 panels: 32 GB Black ordered from Play Store.

Via PhoneScoop: "Sprint is prepared to demonstrate new wireless networking technology at an event in Silicon Valley today. The demonstration will show how Sprint plans to use its 2.5GHz spectrum holdings to deliver even faster mobile broadband, reports The Wall Street Journal. Citing sources familiar with Sprint's plans, both the networking technology and handsets that can use it will be available to consumers soon." More at the link: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=13124 My guess is that this is about carrier aggregation or some other LTE Advanced features (multicast/broadcast, maybe?).

My sense of things on Sprint (as a 10+ year customer who's spent a bit of time in marginal areas) is as long as you're not parked on roaming service most of the time, and staying under the limits, occasional months where your off-network usage exceeds on-network won't be an issue. But if you pull a Robert and move to the boonies, and then rack up hundreds of minutes of roaming a month for several straight months with virtually no on-network usage, they'll eventually cancel your service. Of course, if you move outside of native coverage they'll usually release you from your contract to avoid these issues in the first place.

Don't forget there is also the early upgrade promo (which was on the website for a week or so, but then disappeared when One Up appeared), which may or may not just be the same price as paying the ETF.

Sprint Service and Repair fee increasing 11/8

With Comcast, you're renting the box or modem from them. If you go and buy your own modem, or buy and hook up a TiVo, and it breaks, Comcast says "sorry, it's not our problem" or "you should've paid to rent it from us, sucker." Toyota and Dell sold you a whole system. If you'd bought the nVidia card yourself, or stuck your own radio in the car, and it breaks, their reaction would be "sorry, it's not our problem" or "sure, we'll fix it for $$$." A subsidized phone is no different. If you buy something with a coupon or discount, the person discounting the product has no additional obligation to engage in warranty service on your behalf. (Buy a TV from Walmart and ask them to repair it, and see how far that goes.) You bought a Samsung or HTC or LG phone; Sprint gave you a substantial discount, but ultimately it's still a Samsung/HTC/LG phone. -

koiulpoi: Maybe your device or SIM isn't provisioned at all for LTE. You probably need to call customer service and have it reprovisioned, or at the very least (if you have an inactive Sprint device) try swapping it out and back in online.

Looks nice! The only issue I've noticed is that LTE seems to be shown twice: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ynlz0vmjq5gryko/Screenshot_2013-10-23-16-01-06.png It'd probably be more useful if the right-hand box showed the 1X voice strength (or on GSM/UMTS the equivalent converted from asu) and was labeled appropriately.
