Just placed an order for one of these. Finally got over the disappointment that was the Moto X announcement. With my luck, the day I activate this some never-before-seen version of the Moto X comes to Sprint for free. Ha!

You won't get the update if you downloaded the 4.3 RUU

Did you purposely post a speed test from Tmo from 4 years ago?

Sprint IS my home ISP at the moment and it's usually around at least 1 Mbps but it really does depend. The other day it was like 300 kB. Of course this is all on 3G. No LTE here yet. Supposed to be able to get Verizon DSL in two weeks.

Or get a Bluetooth keyboard for the tablet

I'm a teacher and Chromebooks are the "hot thing" right now in schools, mostly because they are cheap, light, and very mobile. Just like Google has Google Apps for Business, they also have Google Apps for Education and tons of schools are switching to that to give kids their own email address and access to Google Docs, along with the teachers. Google Apps are certainly neat for collaborating. A Chromebook is typical smaller and lighter than a laptop. I think a perfect use of it is light email and web browsing. They have a really long battery life. Every program (or app) that is on it comes from the Chrome Store, basically the same as the Google Play Store. For word processing you'd rely on Google Docs. Would be a nice use for your dad in his semi, as long as he has an internet connection. Otherwise it's pretty useless, as mostly everything is done online or saved to the cloud.

Haha. I just looked it up. It has a 5.5" screen?! But they say it has low resolution. I bet it looks pretty bad. I bought a cheap ($69) Android tablet at Wal-Mart once and the screen was terrible quality.

What's up with this phone? Why is it only $216?!

I know, but is it supposed to be Moto X like in size? This whole debacle is so confusing. I'm putting off buying a new phone until we figure out what's going on with this. And my EVO LTE is really showing its age...

And what exactly is the Moto Shamu??

I try to do this whenever I see someone spew some inaccurate crap about Sprint - particularly on DSL Reports. I like the site, but the main writer seems incredibly anti-Sprint.

I still see it listed...?

How much longer do we have to wait?!

Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton PA is off the LTE map too! But wow, it loads as you move it! Welcome to 2004!

I was inside a building with someone today and my EVO LTE had LTE, but their Verizon iPhone did not :-D To be fair, though, she might still have a 3G only iPhone.

The point of it is so you can get a new phone whenever you want. There's no contract. It's better that way

So maybe I'll hold off a little longer ... My EVO LTE lasted this long. What's a little longer??

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but are we 100% sure Sprint won't get the new X? Maybe itll just be an exclusive launch for AT&T like the last one was? Otherwise I think I will order an E8

Maybe I'll just pretend to have a problem so I can get one... I'm not sure if VZ charges a rental fee. I'm assuming not but I could be wrong.

I'm still disappointed about the Moto X. This looks close to it but 5.9" is really too big for my taste.

How about suggestions for a DSL modem? I will be getting Verizon DSL soon and I've heard the current modem is the D-Link 2750. My aunt has one, it seems like a cheap piece of garbage. And you can't see the transceiver stats from it.

If I wasn't about to be able to finally order DSL from Verizon next month I'd be super interested in this. I know I've mentioned it before in a few places, but PA has legislation in place for universal broadband deployment. All telcos must offer DSL to all customers by 12/31/2015. And of course, Verizon is the only one left to complete it. I filled out petitions with my neighbors and we sped the process up, although it still took two years. Our deployment deadline is 10/25, less than a month. I've enjoyed watching the progress of the RT and DSLAM construction around my area. I think this type of service would also appeal to those who only have one choice. Many rural townships around here either have one cable co, due to franchise agreements, or Verizon DSL as their only options.

Still waiting for any LTE here. I wonder what the chances are of them turning up all 3 bands at once, when the backhaul arrives? Especially since it's so late in the NV game.

The premise, though, is that Clearwire was unlimited data. All of the current options are capped, at a low amount, at a ridiculously higher price than Clear. Clear was priced and treated like a true home ISP replacement. A mobile hotspot really is not.

We still have a fax machine in our house! I'd say we send at least 2-3 faxes a month, which I consider to be quite high for the year 2014!
