VZW GNex is back to AOSP support. I would expect the Sprint version to follow. Nexus S regained AOSP support also. From JBtoro on Forum Runner

The more advanced RRUs mounted on the antennas could improve your 3G coverage. Otherwise it will have to be next year's 800mhz LTE deployment that will fill in those spots.

Sprint has no plans of having 3G EVDO on 800.

Not a problem, I figured it deserved its own thread.

I have always been a fan of the 7 inch tablet. It is ultra portable, but large enough to use it as a tablet and not an oversized phone. I have not replaced my laptop, as there are a lot of things that a tablet is limited on (hooking external HD up, smaller internal HD, connecting and programming other devices etc) but I would think that if I was looking for a tablet to replace my laptop, I might go 10 inch or larger. I am thinking about getting the MS Surface tablet when that comes out to replace my laptop. I use the 7 inch tablet to access the internet, watch movies, play music etc when I am on the road and a laptop is too cumbersome to bring with me. The development potential is what spurred me to buy the Nexus 7. I bought the Kindle fire when I saw how much development was being done on that (and it was $139 at the time), but I think the Nexus 7 will be a more robust development community.

No problem. I am not one to sugarcoat anything.

There is no real good way to compare these 2 phones and their speeds. The Rezound is on Gingerbread and reports signal differently than a phone on ICS. Signal "bars" are a generalization of a fairly wide signal variance. You could have 2 bars and -112 dBm on one and 2 bars and -104 dBm on the other. At that signal strength, the LTE performance is degrading rapidly and it's hard to make a fair comparison. Add in that the EVO LTE was experiencing issues connecting to LTE and may or may not be fixed, and you really just have numbers. Sorry to rain on the parade, but I don't know how much stock we can put in speed comparison numbers.

Split topic off from the speed test thread as it was off topic.

You realize 5 GHz is 5000 MHz right? From JBtoro on Forum Runner

Ha! I like their coverage and data speeds. I work in BFE (north of little falls MN) and live in St. Cloud MN and have LTE all day except for about 10 miles of my commute. I have good in building coverage at work. That is where the "like" ends. Their store employees are a bunch of idiotic a-holes, they don't care one bit about inconveniencing you. They have an attitude that they are the best and you have the privilege to use their network, not that they have the privilege to serve you as a customer. I nearly canceled my service at first, but it made no sense to go with any other carrier. Plus, it runs me about 20 more per month for 3 smartphones with 4gb per month per line than with sprint. I might pay the etf when nv comes through. From JBtoro on Forum Runner

Son of a... Google is going to be getting an earful from me. From JBtoro on Forum Runner

800 smr will give better building penetration when it is rolled out. Sometimes 1 carrier flat out has better position for an area. At my work, I can walk out the side door and the Verizon monopole tower is line of sight, where sprint, nextel, and att are all several miles north on 2 boomers. Not sure if T-Mobile is even native here or if they run on roaming. Sprint nextel and att are all usable outside but bad inside where Verizon works everywhere. From JBtoro on Forum Runner

Hmmm is this a question from the SAT's? Or....

That's the plan.

LOL, or they could play pink belly. Are you saying the military spits out emotionless robots? Does not compute...

My Nexus 7 must be shipping! My credit card was charged today!

Yeah, I had 11 years with Sprint, but my phone had pretty much the same connection as my wi-fi only tablet around town, so I had to fix that. My commute was fine, but I roamed on Verizon most of the time at work and St. Cloud was completely overloaded.

Can you set up the forum so that the comment you wrote auto-posts after every comment with the keyword "Chicago" From JBtoro on Forum Runner

What tower? From JBtoro on Forum Runner

Manufacturers have little to no interest in future proofing devices. One of the biggest reasons they stop updating the software is so that people have to buy a new device. Why would they go out of their way to lower their profit margin AND entice people to keep their device for more than a year?

Yeah, thats pretty good speeds
