And btw you are wrong... There are sites upgrading in that area.. Make a donation and you can see the maps in the sponsor area..

Why do you need it that exact spot? You would rather have 3g only everywhere else?

I understand.. It's a bummer for me as well... Though the world phone for me and my situation in the coming year or so works well... I think I'll get it on the one up program I have at least 3 trips planned to Europe in the next year.. And lte is still in its infancy in phx.. In 12 months I can upgrade with the one up... So by then to a tridand phone.. It's also nice my normal upgrade isn't till February so getting a phone 5 months sooner is a win win win... But yes im still bummed about no trip band... But... For me right now not my number one priority...

I just had that conversation at work yesterday.. With exception that the iPhone fan didn't know any of the numbers.. They would say why their iPhone was great and new.. And I'd explain why it's not. Back and forth all night... It was fun for me... Everyone else maybe not lol Iphone fans remind me of Pittsburgh steelers fans trying to explain how their team is so great yet still 0-3

Android central answers this well.. 'Unlocked' EU and American Note 3s only region-locked if you first 'activate' them with an unapproved SIM —​ and even then, there's a way back http://m.androidcentral.com/galaxy-note-3-region-lock-more-details-emerge

Soon Robert will be snowbirdding with them too when he moves to (ohmygoditscold) south dakota

Amen...

at least you have water in your rivers lol

come on in phoenix you have streets that change names... are blocked by a mountain and on the other side of the mountain continues on... cactus road can be turn into thunderbird... but thunderbird never turns into cactus... the same highway is 4 different names... its wonderful living here lol

for a while in the phoenix market robert was marking the sites that got permits as "in progress" i think he stopped doing that a while ago.. and went back to focusing on just the sites were completed.. those two sites still havent been updated... i looked at the permits to see if any work was done a month or so ago and they still show permitted but no work... that may have changed since but thats why you see it as in progress... i would recommend going to http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2877-new-building-permits-for-phoenix-upgrades/ topdownat4 does an excellent job updating that map... usually within an hour after but if you go to this thread you will see the sites that have gotten permits since robert stopped including them on the complete thread... there are alot of permitted sites that still need upgrades... that with the exception of those two white sites on roberts map, are not included on that map...

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2399586?start=15&tstart=0 there is more than that on the site... it may not sound like a reasonable complaint but the number of them are increasing... (i googled iphone sickness and got several sites showing complaints) i think its an easy fix... i seriously doubt you can write it up to all apple haters... these are after all apple users... i write it up to people not liking change to ios7 same bs happens when anyone else has an update but to say unequivocally that its bull shit and not a real problem to those people it is.. addressing how to shut it off or how they can fix it otherwise not discounting their complaints would be the way to go. personally id stop staring at my iphone so much lol open an app and shut up... i think anyone that stares at their phone long enough to induce vomitting probably arent that stable but there are enough people not happy with it to warrant it a problem... just another firstworldproblem lol

So apple is growing more powerful by feeding on your fears.. See they really are evil!

personally i dont think they do need them... just like they dont need a tank or personal armored transport carriers...or drones... but.. they do have a budget and if they dont spend the money they may not get the increase year over year... so they buy shit they dont really need... (though i could argue that drones are probably less expensive and easier to maintain than a helicopter or a fleet of them)

the moderators do such a good job anyone that usually does is usually quickly dispatched with extreme prejudice before i feel the need to ignore them

wasnt that a side effect of subliminal messages?? maybe apple is working for the nsa lol

well these are pretty old devices and for the most part pre patriot act devices where the courts wouldnt have given the blanket warrants to just take all the data and then let the pick through it. these devices were more specific targets but thanks to the patriot act and the fisa courts these devices have been moded out for more efficient collection means. meta data collection given straight from the companies render most of these devices outdated. i dont need to track a phone if verizon et al just tell me where a phone is. and they can do that pretty accurately now for 3 letter agencies and military where these devices would come in handy would be overseas where they cant get blanket court approval not likely a pakistan or egyptian court is going to let the cia just have cell phone records... and i doubt a Qatar based cell phone company is going to give up a list of their clients and their cell phone data so these devices would come in handy for them... but over here why bother just call up sprint or vzw and the rest of them and say we have a warrant for this data.. which fisa courts have already given them access too anyway

they dont need to take over your phone to do this... they get the info straight from sprints servers...

there has been a lot of confusion with this revelation ive heard that its software lock which means someone will work around it also some have said that its not as bad as it seems... its also hitting S2 s3 and S4s s4 mini and any other older notes made after july.. i have a hard time thinking they revamped the entire process to put this block and just made it software in that case some facny chef someplace will fix it... if its hardware then sammobile has a good article addressing it http://www.sammobile.com/2013/09/26/heres-samsungs-vague-official-statement-regarding-galaxy-note-3s-regional-sim-lock/

http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/sprintblogs/announcements/blog/2013/09/23/samsung-galaxy-note-3-and-galaxy-gear-come-to-sprint-on-oct-4 just reiterating the oct 4 release date as posted just putting the link up 349... is world phone and no tri-band worth 50 dollars more than everyone else???

since its not a sim card like you mean it its not possible how bout since you dont want to read the answer then go out and try it

its not a sim card like you are using it its a uicc universal integrated circuit card its for lte. if you take it out your lte will stop working, you cant get it to work on another network. http://support.sprint.com/support/article/About_Removable_UICC_Cards/case-wds02012-20120920-100001 Can I buy a UICC at any Walmart, Best Buy, or other carrier store? If you need to replace your UICC, it MUST be Sprint UICC compatible with your device. Sprint stores typically would carry this replacement item. You cannot buy a generic SIM card and attempt to use it with your phone. Additionally, other carrier UICCs cannot be used with our Sprint devices. Sprint UICCs also cannot be used on other carrier devices (e.g. to enable LTE on their equipment).

i have three spares... 2 of the three are sstill pretty comparable one of them drains way faster... i usually always buy more than one battery for this reason... a shipping error got me three for this phone but if you have been using the same battery and only one battery for a year you would see diminished charge capacity by a spare they are cheap

my gs3 on lte does not drain any faster than 3g however if you are in a weak area of 4g and losing signal going to 3g back to 4g that will depending on how much your phone is going back and forth will diminish your battery

Wow would have expected something in Sturgis.. Bummer... On the side note good luck with the move.. And everything else associated with that :-)

wow im really torn.... ive been doing a lot of europe trips lately and i was going to break out my old touch pro 2 but its just too old to be usable anymore... i miss that phone best keyboard on a phone EVER... and i still miss the stylus... and i want triband support... but then again im in phoenix id be happy with just any band support (yes i know its coming im being facetious) so on one hand id love triband but realistically when am i going to get support for it... and i really want the note 3 lol damn you sprint why can you give me world phablet and triband.. grrr
