Software defined chicken? Mild or Spicy?

I sure the site can keep flowing in one form or another. I think it has less to do with the public knowing of the information, but the public accessibly of internal documents.

Imagine what it would be like to be brought up during a network deployment meeting...

This should be in the general forums.

I think the 32GB RT would be around $499. I do wonder if the stylus w/ penblock is available for the RT version.

I don't think so until VoLTE-only devices.

Even after not having a QWERTY for almost two years(HTC Mogul), I still believe that physical keyboards provide a better, more accurate typing experience. From using the likes of Swiftkey, Swype, and the Windows Phone on-screen keyboard, typing with accuracy(and not just auto-correcting) is something that I only achieve on a HW keyboard.

I guess they're still working on attempting that DoD spectrum swap. From Daily Wireless http://www.dailywire...dditional-rope/

Maybe I should start a MVNO I don't think Sprint would adopt this(it would probably hit their ARPU pretty hard), but this would be my "dream" structure. Sent from my HTC Titan using Board Express

A quick call to Sprint network support about these data speeds...

Nice to see that they're at least doing some upgrades to their wireline division.

Thought of this while eating cereal... Talk $5-100mins $10-250mins $15-1000mins $20-2500mins $30-Unlimited Unlimited M2M is included at $15 and up. Sprint2Sprint calling is free for all plans. Text $3-100 messages $5-250 messages $10-500 messages $15-1000 messages $20-Unlimited Web $5-250MB $10-1GB $15-2.5GB $20-5GB $30-Unlimited Overage is $10/GB. Tethering is $8/Mo on the Unlimted plan, Tethering is included on all other data plans. Phone Subsidy Not available on featurephones and dumbphones. Cost can be between $0-$35/Mo(depending on how much is paid upfront). This would allow for one to build a plan to best fit their needs.

I could only imagine how low that would go with 800MHz...

What?! I am dissapoint.

From ISN http://insidesprintnow.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/early-upgrade-buy-up-replaced-by-upgrade-now/ (quote isn't working for me) I’ve receive *almost* as many questions about this over the past week as I did about the EVO LTE – and I was finally able to get an answer Here’s the new official policy, that eliminates the “early upgrade buy up” (aka contract buy out) and replaces it with a new program called “upgrade now” To provide a better customer experience and align Account Services with the same price points as Retail, we’re replacing the “Early Upgrade Buy Up” offer strategy with a new program called “Upgrade Now”. There will be 2 tiers for Upgrade Now fees, based on whether it’s an advanced or non-advanced device: Non-Advanced Devices 09-11 mos. RLOF: $150 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY150 12-14 mos. RLOF: $125 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY125 15-17 mos. RLOF: $100 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY100 18-21 mos. RLOF: $50 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY50 Advanced Devices 09-11 mos. RLOF: $275 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY275 12-14 mos. RLOF: $225 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY225 15-17 mos. RLOF: $175 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY175 18-21 mos. RLOF: $100 UPGRADENOW; CSM charge code: BUY100 Offers will continue to be targeted in sView/i-Care (Campaign: XU UPGRADE NOW) based on rebate life on file and other qualifying criteria. Agents must discuss the buyback program with customers. Retail stores will require the customer to use the buyback program on their old device (exceptions may apply), which in turns gives the customer an instant credit. Important note: Retail will not be going live until 6/18/12. Prior to 6/18/12: Account Services will handle the call business as usual the same way we’ve handled the buy up offer. Offers will need to be dispositioned as Offer Accepted/Declined based on the outcome. After 6/18/12: Refer to nearest corporate owned store so the customer can take care of the entire upgrade process end-to-end without having to wait for their device to be delivered or their buyback credit to appear on the account. Important: If customer chooses to visit a store, disposition as Offer/Declined. The store will disposition the Accept during the fulfillment process. Notes for Account Services: Familiarize yourself with the new tiers available based on device type. Review Targeted Offers to determine if customer is eligible for this offer. If customer is eligible: Educate on what the Upgrade Now program is, how it works, and options for completing the Upgrade. Position Buyback on every call (instant if going through retail or future bill credit if processed online). If prior to 6/18/12, handle the call business as usual the same way we’ve handled the buy up offer. After 6/18/12, discuss with customer benefits of visiting a store and provide an address to the nearest corporate store. If customer does not want to go to a store, then handle business as usual, the same way we’ve handled the buy up offer. Disposition the offer: If before 6/18, disposition business as usual based on the outcome of the call. If after 6/18 and you refer to store to have offer fulfilled, disposition as Offer/Declined. The Store will click Accept during the fulfillment process.

PCS is paired spectrum, thus split into two parts, each with their own spectrum range. It's not continuous, thus it would at least be two separate channels. I don't think the FCC would ever approve something like this. The possibility of interference is something that would have to be taken into account.

I believe so. Just a few months ago we only a handful of members(maybe 25 or 30). Now, we have about 1,700 members and over a hundred users on at one time. Also, S4GRU is frequently referenced for Sprint deployment news(by TechnoBuffalo, Engadget, etc.)

I'm in NY, but decided to go like "what the hell" and searched it. http://www.slate.com...rom_alaska.html

Logged in to my SU account for the first time is 2 months.

I don't understand why unlocking VM's 4S isn't a option. It isn't even being remotely subsidized.

It'll be nice if VM offered some type of add-on that extended the un-throttled limit. Something like $5 or $10 to move that limit up to 5GB. Overall, the pricing of the plan is great. The phone's cost itself isn't, but it's un-subsidized, so Sprint should be able to let VM keep it's Beyond Talk pricing w/o any problems. I do wonder if they'll ever consider putting new phones on VM the same time that it's launches on Sprint. If a 6th-gen iPhone can be launched simultaneously on both postpaid & prepaid. Two separate markets, separate pricing, and more money in their pocket.

Is the Montana 800 FIT in Kalispell? Nextel has a tower(1) set up there. It serviced a Nextel call center there.

I wonder if they'll start pushing the remaining iDEN users up onto 900MHz.

Reading Clearwire and Rural in the same sentence just seems weird. Maybe a fixed-antenna broadband play can be made.
