  1. That is a nice increase. Too bad the WiMax isn't better at building penetration. I always hook my phone to the Wi-Fi when I am home anyway though.
  2. It appears it will have the Verizon stats, but I can't say for sure. I thought I remembered seeing something stating that it will be the same as Verizon, but I can't find it ATM. What is known about the Jet is here in the s4gru blogs: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-119-htc-evo-successor-to-jet-onto-the-scene-june-10th/ and my comparison is above. This is completely detailed in this blog on s4gru: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-117-confirmed-sprint-targeting-april-15th-for-galaxy-nexus-launch/ The 4G LTE will NOT be "locked out" on any of the devices. It will not be on by default and kill your battery looking for service. If you want to turn it on, you are free to do so. and as the previous blog details:
  3. LOL, yeah, I could never have used enough data to make a difference on my slow 3G speeds.
  4. I could see Sprint doing a tiered plan with the top tier being unlimited. They could get some more money for unlimited and allow the smaller data users to pay the same or less than what they currently pay for unlimited. They might start motoring abuse a little more, but if they aren't GB Nazis right now, why would they when they have LTE freeing up spectrum?
  5. I think Sprint will see LTE conversion much quicker than Verizon. Sprint has a lot more techies that will buy the LTE phones right away.
  6. Interesting. Good to see that it is closer monitored than I thought.
  7. Well, Sprint will, without a doubt, have a pile of markets that will be announced as "live" by the time the iPhone is released (even if the city is only 10% complete). The iPhone will still do 3G, have unlimited data on Sprint and have the promise of LTE coming. I don't think Sprint will have much problem selling iPhones. They may not draw the new customers that they did with the 4S, but most people that buy iPhones have no idea what 4G even is and won't even figure out that their data speeds aren't what was advertised. The only thing Sprint has to worry about, IMO, is getting Apple to put LTE on the Sprint version of the iPhone.
  8. Yeah, AJ had a really nice writeup on this, and the AT&T response. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-2-atts-charges-of-sprints-disinvestment-in-rural-areas-the-height-of-hypocrisy/
  9. I am really interested to see what their churn rate is in Q1 2012
  10. I think that it should be a bonus to those who shell out the full price for post paid contracts. Prepaid is fine for some, but it's the same reason I don't use a regional carrier. I think that a prepaid company could negotiate with vz att sprint and t mobile and offer coverage using all the carriers, but phones and plans would be expensive and it isn't really feasible.

  11. My how this site has grown. I remember when the site started on spruz. Not long ago. Good job Robert. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  12. The free ptt apps have the ability to use the volume button or camera button all you have to do is map whatever you want to use in the settings. I was thinking a ptt button would differentiate the app from just any other app. It would give sprint the appearance that they have something different and exclusive. I would like to see them propose an additional button to apple though LMAO Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  13. Are they going to charge for using this service? I remember them trying to charge me $10 per month for SDC on my Renegade and I didn't use it enough to make it worth it then. Now there are free alternatives out there. Makes it a lot more difficult to convince people to pay for it. They would have to add something. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  14. I'm upset by his comments and I don't own stock or have sprint service currently. I just think that he has crippled what sprint is trying to accomplish in the short term so he and his cronies can transfer some more wealth through a volatile stock. They just prey on the naive and hurt the companies they use. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  15. It would be nice if they could talk handset makers into adding a ptt button which could double as a camera button Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  16. I'm pretty sure that I have never purposely clicked an in app ad. I don't get how they are making that much money off the ads. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
