Murtazin usually only comments on European/Asian related topics. I would assume he is talking about the international SII but I wouldn't think the US versions would be too far behind. It might take them a little time to figure out the WiMax on the Epic Touch...

As far as I know, the FBI is still providing the investigation for security clearances and all that kind of stuff.

Both, I bought a whole bunch of cheap chargers off Amazon and put them at work, home, the wife's work, my travel bag etc. Dual phone car charger in both vehicles and 4 spare batteries. I never run out of juice.

Seems to be the trend. Good Mobile Messaging is scooping up contracts with government entities to allow corporate e-mail on iOS and Android handsets. It even allows employees without a corporate handset to install Good on their phone or tablet and access their e-mail.

The FBI wrote up a 191 page report on the background of Steve Jobs when he was about to be appointed as George H.W. Bush's Export Council. Their report was not kind to the late Apple CEO. The FBI painted him as a drug-using liar with questionable ethics and morality. The FBI must not think too highly of our elected officials as they referred to Jobs saying he “possesses the qualities to assume a high level political position”.

What are your thoughts on the late CEO who oversaw the introduction of one of the most revolutionary devices the mobile world has ever seen, but also swore to spend Apple's last dime to stomp out Android, sounding like a crazy, jealous ex lover.

Eldar Murtazin, the same blogger that claimed that the Samsung Galaxy SIII would be unveiled at the MWC, has made another prediction about Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones. This time, his prediction is a little less agressive and bold. Samsung has already said that they will be rolling out the Ice Cream Sandwich update to Galaxy SII (as well as Note and Tab models that will be updated) in the first quarter of 2012. In essence, he is moving the deadline up a couple months. We will see if Samsung can get the update pushed out that quickly and how long it takes after that for Samsung to update the AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint Versions after the international version.

LOL, every road is a dead end...

Cage match

Kindle fire is swiftly becoming the #2 tablet. With 4G streaming would work well. The main thing though, is that I don't know if businesses would use it. It seems like many of the 3G tablet sales are driven by businesses, and the kindle fire is aimed squarely at the budget conscious user that would be more apt to put service on a hotspot device than the tablet.

The wildcard might be if Amazon buys data service wholesale and resells it with the kindle fire

I am not a fan of big government myself, but I would like to see the government build the wireless infrastructure and allow companies to use the network for cell phone services. That way we can have current players exist among with new players that offer similar to European and the rest of the world plans that are non-contract with unsubsidized phones.

That would be awesome if something like that could get instituted, but I can only imagine the battles to get it off the ground and then the battles to keep it updated with new network technology...

AT&T using artificial scarcity?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I agree, even though I am employed by the government, less involvement by the government is usually a good thing. One only needs to look at how AT&T and Verizon keep raising their rates and limiting services while Sprint and T-Mobile offer nationwide unlimited (sort of for tmo) at lower prices. If att and Verizon gobble up all the spectrum, they would be raising prices, limiting service and using the att death star to crush their puny opponents.

If I come across this setting on IP Board, I will activate it just for you!

Awesome

I'm actively using both Tapatalk and Forum Runner now. To keep track of any issues or bugs. I have a S4GRU app on my to do list. But I don't think I am going to get to it until at least April.

That will be in the top 5...

I think the big news in all this is now we have a good idea when LTE devices will hit the market.

 

And this is exciting, because this would be ahead of schedule. Originally, LTE devices were slated for mid year. For Sprint to beat a schedule related to LTE and NV would be a great shot in the arm for boosting consumer confidence.

It is exiting! I wouldn't expect them to release on the 15th but we could be 10 or so weeks away from LTE devices!

lol, you are probably right. Most crazy and awesome promotions are done before a major launch. And there are people who will never be satisfied. But Sprint shouldn't put a time frame on this promotion. They should leave it permanently. I don't see people using it every 9 months to upgrade to a new phone, lol.

They used to have the deal where you could get an early upgrade after a year for $75. I don't know why they ended that. If they don't keep all the varying upgrade levels from this promotion, I'd like to see at least the $75 mid contact upgrade come back. Or at least offer an upgrade at cost at their corporate store...

The promotion will only be good in Corporate stores & the ET4G starting price is $249.99 with a $50 mir bringing the cost of the phone down to $199.99.

I missed that the first time I read it. I also see the promotion expires April 14th. If I was a betting man, I would bet we don't see LTE devices until the 15th.

All these promotions they have been having might get them in trouble down the road when people see LTE releasing and they don't have an upgrade available for another year+. I can see the posts on the sprint message boards "I've been a sprint customer with 6 lines for 14 years and now I have these 4G phones that don't work on my local 4G network and the corporate greed of Sprint won't let me get a LTE phone! I'm going to Verizon, they will give me a discount on a LTE phone."

I've been wondering this same thing. I think there are a lot of savvy users that will be waiting for at least 800/900/1900 capability

Not a problem, thanks for bringing that site to the community's attention

I saw it for $100 on Amazon. That may have been for a new line of service though.
