    Reminds me when we had the old S4GRU facebook page. Literally 9/10 comments after every post were ranting or complaining about this or that from people who feel entitled they should have everything at that second.

    Been on i80 towards the bay area by any chance? Ala past Davis? If so, you probably picked up some from the bay area market. If not then it may or may not be a glitch. Be on the lookout on your surrounding towers. Samsung will be or has been working on our market.

    I believe you'll need pico cells / das systems in train tunnels and it's a very expensive proposition in such old setups like those you find in east coast.

    To best honest, it doesn't look that bad from these pics.

    Its late April - early May release. iDen shutdown literally is a month or two away along with the fact that Clearwire TDD-LTE is a given (they already have hundreds TDD-LTE sites up and running). I'd say the possibility of this having 800 + 2600 is fairly high given there was emphasis on supporting "all LTE bands"...
  6. lilotimz
    FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE are supported...

    End of April launch. Most likely a simultaneous worldwide + US release considering it the event was at NYC>

    It's thinner (7.7mm vs 8.6mm) and only slightly taller (by a few mm) while the bezel has been cut to incorporate the bigger screen. Also interesting pixel arrangement they got...

    April / May launch... support *all LTE frequencies* including FDD-LTE & TDD-LTE.

    Support FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE O.O

    Already sent for the almighty spectrum god wiwavelength... he knows everything... literally.

    Permanent till 800mhz service is activated. It's actually now more accurate and shows more realistic expectations.

    ericcson also provides inspections for other OEMS as they cannot inspect their own stuff.

    A decent amount of cell sites have LTE have been accepted. The rest of the info are in the sponsor section.

    Good luck! Sprint wants any and all persons available to do their NV in this area especially with T-mobile and ATT blitzing with their updates.

    They're called the market OEMs. Samsung is in charge of the market and supplying the equipment and handling the logistical work of moving thousands of parts from around to world to a staging area to be dispersed to contractors. Contractors are local folks like you or I who have training on climbing cell towers and/ or working with cellular / electrical equipment. There's also subcontractors who are basically folks that contractors hire and you go on and on from there. Basically this is the process. Sprint tells Samsung to move their butts on a market. Samsung mobilizes equipment and local contractors and starts applying for applicable permits to work on cell sites. If permits and backhaul is ready (they caught up by now) then they begin. If not, they'll work on other towers that are ready. Wherever a site is ready, they'll hop on it instead of wasting time. Time = $$$$

    They still support the standard ATT frequencies and are better in doing so. Just like how new Sprint NV panels can do what the legacy old panels can do but better. It's always better to have similar gear on all your towers even if the technology in them is not completely turned on. It simplifies logistics and stockpiling of replacement parts in case any of them needs to be modified / repaired. Not to mention, legacy panels for all carriers are going to be likely over 10 years old at this point from a quagmire of different OEMs. Better to coalesce under a few standard ones that are going to be nationwide. Saves money down the road.

    They're putting them up as fast as they can and in as much places as they can. They will sooner or later face the data crunch that Verizon is facing and so am preparing as many towers to be LTE 700/850/AWS capable as humanely possible. Doesn't mean they'll launch LTE in every one of them.

    ATT

    EHRPD has been active since late december.
