Ether-NVie

Costa Mesa, California was the very first uninhabited location in the country. We difinitely need to get NV/LTE before Location X. Maybe tomorrow!!!

I spent about an hour playing with the Photon Q today. Overall a nice little phone. Up until the S3 and EVO 4G LTE came out, I always insisted on getting a phone with a physical keyboard. It was one if two top requirements. Pretty much had decided on the EVO 4G LTE or S3, but wanted to give any new phone a last chance. The keyboard is functionally very nice, especially with 5 rows, and easy to understand special keys. The keyboard is smaller than I thought it would be, but still very useable. More useable than most virtual keyboards. Overall though I still think the EVO and S3 are much better phones in terms of display, size and smoothness and almost everything else, and I am still leaning to the non-physical keyboard phones. The Photon Q tended to hesitate a little too much as I played with it. I had no such problem with the S3 or EVO 4G LTE. Still the Q is a very nice phone, and I am sure a lot of ppl wanting a keyboard will be very happy with it.

Thanks. Those are at least positive results during the transition. I live in Orange County, not super-far from LAX and that keeps my hopes up for staying with Sprint and getting either the S3 or EVO 4G LTE soon. Just watching for positive progress in this area b4 I make a final decision. Those are consistent with the tests I've seen at the local Costa Mesa Sprint Store.

I received a communication from Sprint today linking me to a webpage about NV launch. Below is one of their webpages indicating speeds for 4G LTE, Wimax and 3G after Network Vision is implemented. Sprint states - "Expected speeds based on testing of deployed sites prior to network launch." http://www.sprint.co...20808:LNL:B2C:T Waiting patiently for SoCal.

Robert - I have been viewing this site for months, and I don't think there are many people here who dislike you, if any. You and the other key members have always done a terrific job in helping all of us. 'fastchase' obviously has no real idea of what he is doing, taking aim at the wrong people and blogs. He also did not know what he was buying. Also, when he found out his phone did not work on 4G, he had 14 days to take a positive action, and did not do it anything to correct his mistake. I just joined this site as a member and sponsor and am looking forward to a positive experience.
