My sheer guess is that this is largely a marketing-driven decision, and not in a bad way either: Sprint doesn't want another flood of articles from top tech sites like Engadget and Ars complaining about spotty coverage in major markets where LTE isn't fully lit up, much as they experienced two years ago due to Clearwire's uneven.coverage in launch markets. Sprint needs this launch to go well to justify NV to its skittish investors, which means they need a comparable, mostly-solid network to already-launched AT&T and Verizon in these markets before they flip the "reserved" switch. I wouldn't be surprised if they wait to flip markets on until the contractors have already headed to the next market on the list, at least until after the first wave is done. After the launch markets are live for a first month or so and the reviews are all out there, I expect Sprint to be less worried and let sites in lower-tier markets be live from the day they're done.

What about Golic? RT @KyleTucker_CJ Not mincing words. Virginia Tech AD says Hokies have "terminated" Greenberg.

Like jpkjeff says, I think WiFi offloading is probably coming but the carriers want better reliability; Republic Wireless customers probably will tolerate dropped calls and hard handoff problems, but I'd imagine Sprint and Verizon want the technology to get to the point where soft handoffs can work reliably before committing to it. Getting to an all-IP telephony network is probably the major step necessary; once the call is just IP data it's "just" a packet delivery problem.

Bus driver seems to be under the impression the speed limit on Hwy 427 is a mild suggestion. Not complaining.

There are a couple of times I've felt it would be useful for giving someone directions or looking up info on restaurants when making arrangements for dinner with someone, or just for surfing while I'm on the phone with someone while they drone on and on and on. But it's not a killer feature IMO.

HTC EVO 4G LTE tech details revealed in FCC OET filing
lordsutch commented on WiWavelength's blog entry in The Wall
I think some of the confusion is that in previous threads before these tests came out, and based on the parts involved (specifically the MSM8960), everyone was saying that only the Viper, which like some VZW phones has 2 distinct chips with CDMA radios on each, was likely to have simultaneous voice + data on 2/3G (in addition to simultaneous voice + LTE data) and Sprint was unlikely to put much effort into getting future phones to have that feature. -
The Sprint HTC EVO 4G Event - Observations and mini review
lordsutch replied to twospirits's topic in HTC
The main advantage is that it makes it easier to pop the phone in at an angle; with my Seidio mount for the Evo 4G, you have to slide it in horizontally (I use mine in landscape) to line up with the built-in micro-USB plug. It also locks you into using one phone orientation (e.g hardkeys on the dock side - one advantage of going all soft-key like the GNex is that they can move with the phone orientation). With the Evo 4G LTE's charging port being on the side it'll be easier to dock in landscape mode at least, although it'll be more annoying for people that want to use the phone vertically. -
The block time for my ORD-DTW flight is over 2 hours. I was expecting the Wright Flyer instead of a modern jet to justify that.

Sprint 800 MHz LTE Set For Launch In 2014
lordsutch replied to 4GHoward's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I'm rather more optimistic about SouthernLINC going away sooner or later; Southern are going to have to migrate away from iDEN too, since Motorola is going to stop making phones and base station equipment, but they don't have the spectrum to transition to another technology. Sprint is the only logical buyer; anybody else would have an oddball network in the southeast that wouldn't fit with the holdings in the rest of the country. I suppose SouthernLINC could just squat on the spectrum or try to launch their own local wireless broadband network or deploy a different PTT system like QChat, but I can't see them making that sort of investment in a non-core business when they have far bigger fish to fry in power generation and delivery. The only real question is whether Sprint is willing to pay what Southern wants to get for the spectrum holdings. But I don't think Sprint would touch the rest of ESMR and public safety, and really they don't need to. -

#manifestdestiny RT @JoseCanseco: I have zero love for Castro. I wish he would go away and USA can annex Cuba like we did puerto Rico.
