I agree. Sprint will probably need a couple months to come up with a longer name than the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Murtazin strikes again. I hope sprint didn't preorder too many Galaxy Nexis, because this beast will be cannibalizing sales of its little brother if they are released side by side. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

If they hit the $200 price point, and allow SD memory expansion, you really can't go wrong with this tablet. I am also likely to wait for the 10 inch tablet that is rumored to be following this but if I can unload my galaxy tab, I will definitely buy this tablet. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

The FCC should require carriers to be built out on a certain percentage of their spectrum holdings before they can even participate in auctions. Carriers like AT&T would be forced to build out or sell their inactive holdings if they want to participate. That is what is fair to customers and competitive balance, but with every perspective buyer they eliminate, the price has the tendency to drop and there is always the power of the almighty dollar...

Shooting hostages

Although it wasn't confirmed by Google or Asus, sources for Digitimes have revealed that Asus will build the rumored 7 inch Nexus tablet aimed squarely at the budget market currently dominated by Kindle Fire. Even though the Xoom didn't really blow any doors off when it was released, the partnership on this tablet can put Asus even further "on the map" as an Android tablet manufacturer. The honeycomb platform was good for advancing Android tablets, but people want their phone and tablet on the same operating system. It is a pain to even switch off between Sense and Touchwiz, let alone Gingerbread and Honeycomb. The combination of a budget-friendly tablet and premium construction from Asus should sell in mass and could steal away iPad customers on a budget, where the Kindle Fire has failed thanks to some features absent from the Fire. Now we just need some leaks on the specs. Source http://www.digitimes...20308PD215.html

Paradise point

Yeah I was surprised by that too, but they have roaming agreements to give some coverage there, and the population of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota combine to be 3,074,371. Take out Fargo ND and surrounding area, which is covered by Sprint and the number is more like 2.9 million, or the population of the St Louis metro area. That is a lot of fiber to run and a lot of equipment to install for the prospect of maybe a million new customers. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Normandy beaches

I located the thread on here about Sprint not releasing any more WiMax phones here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/76-sprint-remains-lukewarm-to-wp/ Owens also confirmed that Sprint would expectedly now be focusing all of its intention on its new LTE network, and not produce any more WiMAX-based phones -- although, as it's noted previously Sprint will continue to support the network itself through 2015.

I can't decide if those interviews are supposed to be satire or serious. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

From everything I have seen, Sprint is not going to sell any more phones with WiMax. The antennas for WiMax and LTE wouldn't fit in the Nexus current form anyway. It would be really nice to have phones that would be capable of both 4G technologies in this transition, but sadly I don't see it happening. As far as Jacksonville getting LTE, it hasn't been announced yet but stay tuned to S4GRU.com for updates. New cities are announced in chat sessions and then on the wall the next morning.

by Scott Johnson Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Tuesday, March 13, 2012 - 2:00 AM MDT Most of us have at least heard of NFC, the Google Wallet app, or the capability to use our NFC enabled phone as a wireless payment system, but do we know the power and uses of Near Field Communication? NFC has endured a slow start, with very few devices that contain the communication chip, but Sprint seems to be giving it a boost by including NFC on all its LTE handsets. Sprint’s director of consumer product marketing, Trevor Van Norman has said that “it is in our best interest to push the service” and he is right, as use of the payment system can bring in additional money for the carrier. Outlook is rosy for this technology, and its ability to facilitate payments, with Juniper research predicting that NFC payments will hit $74 Billion by 2015. Near field communication was evolved out of other work and accepted as an ISO standard in 2003. The way it works is that when two devices are brought within 4 cm of each other, the devices will begin to communicate if they are both powered, or the RF signal from the powered device will power the unpowered RFID and begin communication. This allows a NFC enabled cellphone to communicate with any compatible RFID tag, powered or not. This opens doors well beyond mobile payments. Most tech-savvy consumers are familiar with the “QR code” or quick response code. This allows someone to scan a barcode with their cell phone camera to display information or direct the smartphone to a URL. NFC can be used in a very similar way; in fact, the LG Tag uses this capability as a marketing point even though all NFC phones are capable of it. A store could stick a NFC tag on their entrance and allow patrons to “check in” with Foursquare or Facebook. Posters can have NFC RIFDs to allow those who are interested in more information easy access to predetermined information that will be passed to the phone or automatically load a website into the phone's broswer for even more information. The tags could also be used in such places as landmarks, art galleries and museums to allow access to more information on what is being viewed. Since the tags are relatively inexpensive and require no power other than what the reading NFC device provides, it can be adopted quickly once more devices contain NFC. A small RFID can also be placed on Bluetooth devices to instantly connect a Bluetooth accessory to a phone without needing to pair them. It can configure another faster method to transfer files, like WiFi, since NFC is not a very fast means of transport. Pictures and video can even be displayed on a NFC enabled television from the phone by simply holding the phone to the RFID in the television. The possibilities for this technology are grand, but will it be adopted for more than mobile payments? Mobile payments will most likely drive the train for this technology to be widely accepted for all its various uses. Even Apple is rumored to be including NFC in its next iPhone, which seems to be the last hurdle for a technology before it is truly accepted.
