Tweet from @marceloclaure: https://twitter.com/marceloclaure/status/692918460934938624 We are flying in Houston. Faster than your cable broadband. Time to cut the cord and consume content in your phone twitter.com/nm_sprint/stat… ...well that's disconcerting -
You may want to take a look at punctuation rules again, friend.

I understand that "this isn't English class," but, honestly, how hard is it to type the word "you"?
-
Great detailed reply. Thanks[emoji1]

What city are you in? And what areas were those in which you would fall to 3G previously, but now find yourself on LTE? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

We should do what we did with last year's Moto X. Have people put in for it, have staff use it for tests and the like, and then choose one of the people who put up the initial monies to get it raffle-style.
-
So essentially, both B25 and B26 are, in general, capable of covering a larger area, but are left dialed back distance-wise because of insufficient capacity to provide usable data service for all individuals in that theoretical larger area? And at some point in the future, this is likely to change once densification of B41 is sufficient to allow it? I'm just trying to make sure I read what you said correctly. If this is true, it would certainly explain a lot about relative differences in propagation distance between the bands in reality vs. what is expected/possible.
-
Fair play. I can understand that, I suppose. Carry on.
-
You know a lot about wireless networks, spectrum allocation, etc. but damn you can be a little sanctimonious and captious at times, AJ.

I think they're geese, mate [emoji6]

I'm actually pretty excited about this phone. All the reviews I've read of the Mate 7 praise the build quality and everything you'd really be concerned about on the hardware side. Most of the criticism has been around the software tweaks, which would be nullified by this being a Nexus device. If it comes out, supports Sprint, and has anything like the battery life/build quality of the Mate 7 along with a slightly better camera and solid RF performance, I will be pretty stoked about it. Speaking of RF performance, any idea when we might expect to see this and the supposed LG Nexus successor come through the FCC?
-
Some pretty cool stuff on the new note, but honestly the poor RF performance coupled with a lackluster 3000mAh have turned me against it. Hopefully the new Nexus phones will impress.

I wasn't and still am not bent out of shape, AJ. I have seen the USCC coverage map many times and was fully aware of the extent of their coverage when I made the comment. I'm not saying your clarification was wrong by any means, but this has been a purely semantic discrepancy from the start. [emoji3]
-
Excuse me. Perhaps "across the country" would be more appropriate in this instance. Even you can't argue with the fact that they would fill in large swaths of coverage across the country. Sure they don't have a footprint across 100% of the nation, but I didn't anticipate anyone taking that comment in the strictest literal sense.
-
I'd like to see it as well, but I am doubtful that it will have the 820.
-
Don't tease me like that. Dear Lord, this would be amazing pretty much nationwide.
-
So would this be getting rid of subsidized handset pricing even for existing customers, or is this only with regard to new customers?
-
I am on one such outdated plan and I can see the idea behind both opinions. But I think it's fairly obvious that no carrier, Sprint or otherwise, can continue to support the outdated plans AND offer subsidized handset pricing on those plans. I think a reasonable compromise is to give people the option of keeping their outdated plans but forcing them to buy handsets at full price, or to abandon their legacy unlimited plan in favor of a newer plan if they can't stomach paying full price for handsets. I have a feeling that would end up driving a decent number of people off of legacy unlimited plans, but give some the option to keep theirs if they desire.
-
I think that is exactly the way to go about it. I'm guessing that's what Sprint will implement sometime next year.
-
Do you have any idea on the amount of each band?
-
Anyone know exactly what spectrum assets are being transferred to Sprint in this arrangement?
-
Can someone either explain or link me to an article that explains the significance of the numbers above in context. I've been looking, but can't find much of an explanation and I know we have people who enjoy helping those less fortunate (me in this case). Any takers?
-
I'm sitting on an upgrade as well, but don't want to use it quite yet. Since all indications are that subsidies are going the way of the Dodo, sooner rather than later, I figure I hold onto my upgrade until Sprint announces the imminent death of subsidized pricing, and use it then to buy the best phone available at the time. Until then, the new Moto X doesn't look like a bad investment at $399 unlocked.
-
Intending no offense, I find that rather hard to believe...
-
I agree with you to an extent, and I'll explain my meaning. In my opinion, it's almost less about the actual usability of data in airports than it is about the perception. Like it or not, people put a lot of stock in RootMetrics reports. I was just thinking this could be an area in which Sprint could make a significant turnaround with minimal comparative investment -- a real bang-for-your-buck perception win, if you will. Now I have since been enlightened as to the various challenges of providing good service in airports (thank you AJ, et al), but I still think Sprint could use a win, and stand by the idea that this might not be the most difficult of wins to achieve. Just my thoughts.
