I just ordered an htc one m8 to replace my iphone 5. I'll see if I like it and will ofcourse see how triband has progressed since I last tried an lg g2 4 months ago.

yes aboveground, tmoble kept lte where I dropped to 1x or 3G. Not enough for me to realistically switch considering I know what spark is capable of and I have 4 other lines.

Tmobile rep was shocked when I went to return the phone, I said tmobile wasent really better for me. He was like "your the first to say this coming from sprint"
-
Ok so I did some tests on the train ride to work. Tmobile is better on the train that's for sure. At work it's pretty much even in speed. Conclusion is I'm not overly impressed with tmobile and won't be switching for sure. I wish I has triband to test but I don't right now.

Update on day 3 with tmobile. I was at the ceaser bay plaza in Brooklyn. Inside toys r us tmobile had lte but sprint did not. In kohls it was the opposite. Sprint had lte and tmobile had unusable 4g

just a quick question about the m8. Is there anyway to hide the soft keys while watching a video in the browser? I noticed that in the browser when launching a video the soft keys stay. They disappear in apps like IMDB or youtube.

Day two with tmobile. I went to a couple of stores to see indoor coverage. This was on neptune ave and around west 5th st. I went into rite aide and cvs and some other store. Overall sprint had better indoor coverage and better speeds. I was surprised that when tmobile iPhone switched to 4G aka HSPA it was pretty slow, like around 1mb/s. So far I'm not impressed. My final test will be at work. I will also test the train to work where sprint loves to stick to slow ass 3g most of the ride. Im basically testing only where i go, not new places where i normally don't go. forgot to add that speeds were very comparable when outside. Im surprised by how close the speeds are. 5-12 mb/s outside today for both. indoor tmobile had trouble passing 3 mb/s. sprint was around 6-7mbs indoor where i tested. i can imagine that a triband phone would blow away tmobile where i live.

Ok so I got the iPhone from tmoble to test drive today. I'll start with speed at my apartment. I live next to luna park in Brooklyn. Speeds inside are very similar between sprint and t mobile. Average is around 3-5 mb/s. I went outside for some time to see how it was around the neighborhood. Basically they are good in different areas, one place sprint would get 14mbs and tmoble would get 4mbs. Another place it would be reversed. Though I did notice that tmoble has better coverage on the boardwalk. So far not totally impressed with tmoble considering I'm not even using a triband phone. I'll see how speed is at work on Monday and will update.

I tweeted john legere just for fun and said sprint passed tmobile in Manhattan. He blocked me lol

Yesterday some friends and I drove to New Jersey from Brooklyn to a movie theater. On my iphone 5 I had lte throughout the whole ride with speeds around 10mb/s. It's was pretty solid. We drove over the Verrazano bridge and outer bridge.

You guys haven't answered my question though. How does it perform with spark. I get it's a great phone and all. I'm more interested about what I mentioned in my original post.
-
How does the htc one m8 perform? I heard some things about not receiving calls when on data? Overall how does it perform. Incase the iphone 6 does not have band 41 I would switch to an htc one. I tried an lg g2 just to see spark and it had trouble switching between bands. It would get stuck on no service until I toggled airplane mode.

well at least you can pay for it partially a month with no interest this is where the industry is going.
