    I find it ok. I prefer the rubberized feel and look of the nexus 5 original. Also, the camera module looks funky like it is a growth coming out of the phone.

    They messed up band priorities about 2 months ago. Why would sprint force you on 3g, no signal, or B25 vice how they used to keep you in B41? I've been asked by sprint care to send them details but what more details then all towers in the LA and OC area shunt you off B41 (when you rarely get it) to no signal or 3g when we used to surf constantly in B41? Service has never been worse.

    Never been in and out of a sprint store in less than an hour. Always waited for more than a half hour before being acknowledged and never had then actually activate my phone as they never know how so I just leave the store and finish myself. At the Tmobile store near my house, I've never not been acknowledged and helped within 10 seconds as they have so many staff. They usually give me their personal phone to play with so I don't have to deal with the demo models. I sound like I'm trashing sprint but this is reality for the 5 times I've visited these stores in the past year.

    Can't wait! Still on my Nexus 5 original and looking for an upgrade. I'm excited to try the dual speaker set up and a good camera on a phone. The fingerprint sensor will also help me deal with a very over protective IT department as they disabled all the Google smart unlocks.

    Kind of unfortunate. If you want to be the best, you have to not perform and act like a last place carrier. TV ads and ads at airports and billboards are very important and is not money down the drain. I've only seen like one sprint ad over the past few months on TV.

    Sounds like David Beckham should revisit sprint. Just kidding, I do like what Sprint is doing here a lot but just wish it was a little simpler and automatic vice a plan add on for free.

    Just noticed that Verizon has 1900 MHz spectrum. Is it possible that Sprint sits out of the 600 auction and buys the 1900 spectrum from Verizon? That might be a better way to swing this play. If there is 800 MHz out there to buy, that would be even better.

    Same problem we've been having in Orange County except we don't have B26 so we'll drop to 3g or no signal. To me it seemed either like a load balancing change or a software compatibility / provisioning issue.

    A problem like this is occurring in OC as well for the past month or two. I don't think it is related to the iPhone update

    My biggest fear with the inaccurate maps is that Sprint actually thinks I'm receiving what their maps are saying. I hope their network team uses a different set of maps than the maps the marketing team uses. Different topic, one month in and there is still some bug in OC (could be elsewhere). Going from a strong LTE signal and kicking me off to 3g after the phone shows no signal... Something is weird here. Signalcheck will show LTE but no band and show a phone icon at the top of the screen and then I'll lose all signal before hoping on 3g. Weird. All this while parked at a traffic light. I hope they fix because I want Sprint to kick TMO and Verizon's face in.

    I wish Sprint would be this transparent. Plus, I hate the strategy when sprint says B41 and carrier aggregation is the answer. The answer is a multi-pronged approach.

    I wonder how much data traffic runs on 4g for sprint?
  13. JosefTor
    I hope sprint isn't so secretive this quarter. I want to know about their network plans and plan for capital. We should have permits already around the US for all the small cells and not just talk.

    This is one of the areas I've been complaining about recently. This is a county wide problem though. Service has been deteriorating the past month or two and is getting worse. Very unreliable and it drops to no service or 3g.

    The tower near the Mobil station on Aliso Creek Rd and Aliso Viejo Parkway just got B41 turned on. The antennas were installed for almost a year. Glad to see some progress in the town.

    I'm writing sprint support but where I used to have LTE my whole trip, now I drop on 7 places! At times my signal will actually go away. The other times I just stay on 3g. I really hope they aren't deactivating clear towers.

    Watch out for short squeezes.

    I agree with your post but.... Why the need for VoLTE? Isn't HD Voice at least as reliable and sounds great too? Btw, I recently heard that best buy has the same 2 people unlimited for $100 which matches Tmobile.

    I hope the marketing works and I'm glad sprint is doing it. My real estate agent in Kansas City was in mid to upper management in Sprint (quit or pushed out a few years ago) . I asked him who he uses and he said Verizon because Sprint sucks. I'm hoping their image will turn around.
  20. JosefTor
    Excellent marketing! If I was them, I'd have some small text that says something like.... "Only for cheaper"
  21. JosefTor
    If your market is anything like the California market now, Sprint appears to have adjusted the load balancing between bands to make the phones not jump to B41 as often. I rarely jump to B41 now where I used to jump at every moment my smartphone got. Have you noticed this on your phone?
  22. JosefTor
    I still don't know if the delay is simply to have an executed cost agreement or if this is also the day that rebanding will be completed.
  23. JosefTor
    I love this idea but since Sprint uses it to diss Tmobile, I don't see this change of heart. If I went to Tmobile I would not choose unlimited since I don't have to fear overages in the off chance I go over my allotment. On Sprint, I would never consider anything but unlimited because I hate overages. If Sprint fixes overages, people would naturally move off unlimited. That is a strategy that both sprint and the consumer can rally behind.
  24. JosefTor
    Isn't the video streaming allotment too small? Will the majority of streaming apps even work at those speeds? Also, the Tmobile "unlimited" plans that throttle down are ingenious and one that will make me leave sprint once their "version" unlimited goes away. I hate overages. It brings me back to my $500 cell phone bill for going over my voice plan on Sprint.
  25. JosefTor
    I guess I don't get it. Isn't this a step in the wrong direction in both price and consumer choice?
