    Any updates on when Greenville, NC could possibly get LTE. They have 3G upgrades on a couple of their towers and the legacy towers are rather fast (over 1Mbps with 120ms ping).

    I understand it, but I guess Washington believes that the average consumer will not understand it, They think that T-Mobile is advertising the price of the phone as 99.99. I feel like they should get at T-Mobile and AT&T about that 4G moniker used for HSPA+ rather than this. I am tired of hearing AT&T say they have the largest 4G network, when talking about HSPA+, and then using the term 4G interchangeably with their LTE network by calling it the nation's fastest 4G network.

    A Clearwire investor is suing Sprint. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/26/us-clearwire-aurelius-lawsuit-idUSBRE93P19C20130426

    I got super pissed when I saw that. They better fix it soon!

    Wahington got super pissed at T-Mobile for claiming that their plans were no contract. In fact, when you cancel your service there is no ETF, but you have to pay off the remaining price of your phone, which is very similar to an ETF, or in some cases, will be more than the ETF of carriers that offer contracts.

    It has a top speed of 153kbps. I tend to get around 100kbps to 130kbps. But that it on a NV tower. On legacy towers I can imagine way slower speeds.

    Sometimes I switch to 1xrtt just to test it, and forget that I left it on until I try to watch a video. That is when I remember that I am on 1x.

    They support SMR data too. It's just not LTE. 1xrtt is the fallback after EVDO. On 1x on a NV tower I get about 120kbps which is good enough for web browsing but that's it.

    I think it's spelled patience.

    I noticed that too. Towers in Downtown Manhattan are starting to go live with LTE. I don't plan on switching anytime soon.

    There is LTE now at my school! This morning no LTE, bow I turn my phone off of ny school WiFi and there is LTE! Varick and Charlton Street!

    I heard the HTC One support EVRC-NW. That's about it.

    Queens and SI seem to be the only boroughs that don't have as much NV work as the other boroughs. How has wrk been in the Bronx. There hasn't been much talk about them for a while.

    I know that the Evo 4G LTE has the ability to connect to GSM networks via the MSM8960. But, I am only able to make emergency calls on the network. If I try to switch to WCDMA or GSM, it'll switch me to LTE/EVDO mode.

    I heard that the HTC One is a great rf performer. Some claim that it never wants to let go of LTE. I even saw a post claiming it was better than the Note 2.

    Got accepted, but I attend a private school on scholarship. It's called Elisabeth Irwin High School. In the Village.

    Sprint said they plan on announcing 120 cities this summer alone, so I wouldn't be surprised if more sites tart popping up throughout the city. There will probably be a summer launch of LTE in NYC and so many other markets are going to pop up soon. I see LTE is finally going into Lower Manhattan. This is great because the tower near my school is 3G upgraded but it is about a 15 minute walk south to Canal or a 10 minute walk East to SoHo before I get any LTE signal.

    I've been reading that the photos are decent on this phone, but video is where the One is phenomenal. The Optical Image Stabilization definitely helps in a lot of circumstances. I also read that in darker scenes, to compensate for a clearer, less grainy, picture the phone will drop down to 20fps or so instead of the typical 30fps while taking 1080p video.

    I don't know about this phone, but on my Evo, you have to click menu, then Enable Flash Player.

    Because anyone who doesn't care about battery or expandable memory is getting "One". Most reviewers claim that it is better than the GS4, and that Samsung is starting to go the Apple route. I've even heard it being called the best 1080p smartphone for 2013.
  21. Paynefanbro
    I already live with 16GB and a smaller non removable battery. I think it'll be fine!
  22. Paynefanbro
    Might have to get that phone!

    Scroll down to CNET Asia's link. It is pretty cool and functional.

    In NYC, WiFi literally exists everywhere. The cable companies, like Optimum and Time Warner, have set up WiFi networks in each borough. Even cable companies that aren't here like Comcast have WiFi here. It's great but the coverage is very spotty. Once the WiFi connection goes to 2 bars, it's unusable. But if I have all bars, the WiFi is anywhere from 15 to 20 Mbps.

    Indoors my mom gets 22 Mbps down and 14 up on Verizon LTE and on 3G she gets 2Mbps down but then .14Mbps up. Verizon's LTE seems to be offloading a lot of their 3G traffic.
