  1. I need a case of this so I can spray down my entire desk. Maybe the whole office... Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  2. I would use it, the way I figure, if a hacker wants my info, they are probably going to get it. Google wallet, regular wallet whatever... Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  3. Google Wallet has been all over the news with reports that it is possible to hack the program and access the credit card numbers inside. Verizon and AT&T had previously said that they would be designing their own NFC payment apps but Sprint said they would be using Google Wallet. Do these security issues turn you off to using NFC payments altogether? Google Wallet? Verizon or AT&T's apps? Or do you willingly accept the risk?
  4. I can't believe at&t is keeping their customers. Or getting new customers... There is no way I would go with them. They dump on their customers and keep raising prices... I considered t mobile and Verizon but never at&t Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  5. I think it is Samsung. Here is the map http://s4gru.com/index.php?/gallery/image/29-network-vision-partner-map/
  6. AT&T and Verizon are definately at the top of the food chain of wireless carriers. They have the most customers and they have large profit margins. They have more borrowing ability and more capital to work with to expand/renovate their networks. There are several ways that they could mismanage their networks and start bleeding customers, but it would take a lot of churn for them to lose much ground. Verizon and AT&T have premium networks and charge premium prices. This gives them a higher profit margin. Sprint and T-Mobile have less customers and charge their customers less, giving them less profit to reinvest in their networks. T-Mobile's operators Deutche Telekom has shown little desire to invest in their network. Sprint, however, wants to build a premium network (as witnessed by NV), but doesn't have the cash to do so. Can Sprint keep up with the big boys and attract enough customers with unlimited data to become a top dog? Or are they destined to stay as a bargain brand? This link details why Sprint and T-Mobile will "never catch AT&T or Verizon" but I don't know if I completely agree with that assertion. http://www.vision2mobile.com/news/2012/02/sprint-t-mobile-can-t-catch-at-t-verizon.aspx
  7. I hope so, and I hope they don't make a deal with AT&T. AT&T could easily drive up the price if they don't end up buying the spectrum or doing a hosting agreement.
  8. Yeah, I saw that a while ago and it seemed wierd that all of a sudden they had money to keep it going when they kept getting denied at every turn.
  9. Yeah, the AirRave wasn't very expensive, but it only acted as voice and 3G and didn't have much range. It would be nice to have something like this mounted on my house so I get perfect reception all the time.
  10. They would probably have to come up with something new for the FCC to take another look at it. They are pretty much closing the book on it for now.
  11. And that is why they cram it down everyone's throat, because it sells phones.
  12. We all knew it was pretty much inevitable. The FCC had the National Telecommunications and Information Administration look into the potential interference and the NTIA recommended that "It is our conclusion at this time that there are no mitigation strategies that both solve the interference issues and provide LightSquared with an adequate commercial network deployment." It was a great plan, but it looks like the end of the line for LS2. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/14/3429658/lightsquared-dealt-blow-by-regulators.html
  13. Schoolhouse bully. At this point, I'm pretty sure I will never buy another crapple product, ever. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  14. it's sad, I think my 2G is faster than 3G. Lol Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

  16. I talked to someone in tech support at Sprint and they told me that anything from 400 to 700kbps is "good 3G speed" I asked them if they knew what the 3G speeds were on other networks and they refused to comment. I'm not asking for much, constant 500k would be plenty, but as my dad would say, don't pee on my boots and tell me it's raining. My boss is getting 4 to 7 mbps on att's 3G.

  17. I wish Android OEMs would wake up and update their handsets more. With the amount of custom roms out there, they should allow more customization, keep the OS updated and they could keep the boot loader locked. Instead, they let other people do their work and convince us that they are doing us a favor by making it easier to unlock the boot loader. Thanks... Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  18. I use WiFi 90% of the time too, and as I look over, the wife has her phone on 3G... She doesn't care that much though...
  19. the company holding the trademark is asking for a ban Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  20. The second link at the bottom where I found the picture has better technical info. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
  21. I've spent less than 24 hours in a Wimax area since I bought a 4G phone. I wish I saw any speeds approaching 2mbps off wifi... I leave the house and my connection slams to a screeching halt. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
