Marcelo was just a corporate puppet who lied about leading anything at Sprint.  Sprint fell from #3 to #4 under his tenure, but he still got kicked up the stairs with $100 million+ in compensation to continue this game with Masa playing with billions of dollars that the world's rich people don't know what to do with.

The CEO/Founder of failed WeWork walking away with $1 billion+ is even more disgusting comedy.

Could be either or both. Why an s-8 would be ahead of a s9 in features does need answered?  I desperately need 25 + 41 aggregation. My s9 has band 41 about everywhere due to adequate cell sites that are spaced correctly.   But while I have decent band 41 on the receive side, the phone desperately needs to do the upload on band 25.  Phone just hangs onto band 41 but little or no upload makes the service unusable. I am beginning to wonder if the s9 is ever going to be able to be upgraded to 25 + 41.  Beginning to wonder if VOLTE will ever appear on the s9.
 

Not sure exactly what you are asking here, but it is a UNLOCKED s9 purchased at Best Buy on the Sprint Network.

Meanwhile the S10 series just got the November 1 update on November 1. The S10 5G got a bunch of new features over 1GB a few days ago. Mostly Note 10 features like dynamic wallpaper.

Just received the OCT update for my s9 UNLOCKED.  No changes are apparent. No VOLTE.   No improved carrier aggregation options.
Samsung-----You are looking bad, very bad.   The Oct update is pushed on November 1.  Late and it looks worthless.  Nothing gained unless it is hidden.

I will try the plus model I'll see if I can get it.

Then I have made my choice I will get the Galaxy s9. I appreciate the help.

AT&T is so archaic it's not even funny. Sprint in my opinion with their unlock phone policy is better than them. But I'm in the market for a phone would you still recommend the Galaxy s9 even in 2019?

With AT&T I have voice over LTE access but not Wi-Fi calling on my OnePlus 7 pro. And I heard that with even the pixel four phones AT&T doesn't even support Wi-Fi calling or volte. att needs to get with the game. Sprint supports it so why not AT&T?

If you're talking about AT&T. I have a 1 + 7 pro on AT&T and I get voice over LTE access.

As far as I know they still don't allow unlocked phones to use VoLTE among other things. My mom's factory unlocked S9+ can't use VoLTE, Wifi calling, or advanced messaging. 

Fake news I guess [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

When I saw it was over 400 MB update I though for sure it was this one. Negative, still just calling plus.

I was told that the S9 was getting VOLTE update. I'm using att right now waiting to see if it updated so the unlocked model can use their VOLTE and not HSPA+ for calls

Big Announcement for "New T Mobile" next week, November 7th.    Have a feeling it's the availability of Nationwide 5G and possibly some plan details too??   Stay tuned.         The most interesting thing about this is that it will be presented as New T Mobile  and not T Mobile.  

Has the LTE icon changed at all or is it still ugly?

Amazing how much money SoftBank had to burn on WeWork versus the neglect/scraps that Sprint was given:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/10/22/softbank-announces-take-over-wework/4067488002/
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-24/softbank-plumbs-10-month-low-after-extending-lifeline-to-wework
https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/10/22/20927188/wework-adam-neumann-payout-softbank-layoffs
I mean, look at that.
This merger is a complete farce.
This, along with the billions it has sunk into other ventures shows that SoftBank could have funded a massive capital expenditure for Sprint to right the ship, and that it could have provided funds for Sprint to acquire a substantial amount of 600 MHz spectrum in the auction.
Of course, one of the primary justifications Sprint has given for the merger is its lack of lowband spectrum. Go figure.

Or which could be settled by the parties involved.

They won't close the deal until the multi-state lawsuit is done.

The FCC has voted to approve the T-Mobile-Sprint merger

It looks like the site at 4th street and 9th ave in Grand Forks has received its triband upgrades. Saw three radios per antenna when I drove by today. Last time I checked Sprint still doesn't own or lease any band 41 licenses here. FCC ULS is down at the moment so I can't check it. Does anyone have any info for me?

Here’s how 5G is progressing in NYC:

Spectrum characteristics aside, could Sprint’s lower 5G speeds be due to insufficient backhaul?

Are you going by carrier or by band?
