Is not having CA support on B41 really a deal breaker?

No

Were the rumors on the SD card support true? That will be the only thing to get me to upgrade from my Nexus 7.

Not true. No SD card support.

Well that is a huge mistake on HTC's part. I figured Qi was a Google requirement on Nexus devices.

I am guessing it has something to do with the metal back.

I'd like to know about LTE bands and whether or not it supports Qi Wireless Charging.

No qi charging.

I wonder why Google is backtracking on microSD slots. I heard a rumor that the Nexus 6X is a product of the failed Android Silver project.

 

Or maybe Google realizes that having a microSD card slot is what made Android phones a preferred choice over iPhones.

I have thought that when Google changed how SD cards functioned with JB (or was it KK?) that they were laying the groundwork to bring them back to stock Android.

Predicting Oct 15 release, FWIW (probably wrong)

http://www.itproportal.com/2014/10/12/google-nexus-6-to-be-unveiled-next-week-costing-around-450/

Since my predictions have about the same accuracy as any random website, I am predicting a mid October 15/16 announcement (no major event) with an availability a few weeks after that.

prepaid only?

 

plus I wonder if sprint will unlock the phone for international travelers

That is for Sprint Prepaid only. The postpaid one will be available 10/17

So wait a minute, this phone isn't even out yet? I don't know why I thought this was available a month ago.

It came out on the prepaid channels last week.

Sprint is definitely listening on social media, especially twitter. Tweeting them about a local tower issue caused them call me up on the phone and request more information.

Their G+ team is a joke. They post stuff and then vanish. Most of the posts are filled with troll comments. Legitimate questions go unanswered. Heck, T-Mobile uses Sprint posts to recruit Sprint customers who don't get support from Sprint.

I really like your idea. I had not thought of that. I might just do what you suggested. I think Sprint now gives 30 days to return the phone and cancel your service rather than the 14 days that all the other carriers give.

I may be wrong, but I think the 30 day trial ended. I think it is back to 14 days.

I have heard great things about the network in NYC.

You've seriously considered packin' up and moving because the tower closest to your house still looks like this:

I had a job interview a while back that would have lead to moving. The site spacing of the possible future location was part of the equation to not pursue the position further.

I keep hearing from several places that Sprint has decided not to carry the new Moto X "at this time". Making me think it might just come out at a later date.

I was on the Sprint Forums this morning, and they posted an ad stating they are doing an unboxing on October 24th I think around 1pm Eastern.

I heard around 3 weeks a few days ago.

It is currently available on Boost, Virgin Mobile, and Sprint Prepaid.

Hi, anyone familiar with hagerstown,in coverage? the sprint coverage map shows a pocket of offnet roaming around that area, I wondered how accurate that is.

 

I have relatives in that area I was going to try to convince to switch until I checked the coverage map.

 

thanks for any input.

I haven't personally visited that area in a while, but all signs point to not great coverage there.

Now that SMS over LTE is ubiquitous I don't have that complaint much anymore, texts send/receive very fast now!

 

 

 

I thought they fixed the bug as all I have to do anymore is switch off imessage In the iphone before deactivating it and then making sure to uncheck my phone number from the "you can be reached at" options in my other iOS devices and it reverts back to SMS for other iOS users right away. I had many problems with this 2 years ago though...

The bigger problem is people that no longer have the idevice to switch it off from.

It is a know iOS bug. Apple has admitted it.

Word on the street is that Indianapolis has 20+ band 41 sites up and running.

Ok, didn't realize I would have to dial in for voicemail. Hate that.

 

What app have you guys used?

I think most here use Google Voice for voicemail.

So does it mean that Sprint is not going 2 carry it?

I am hearing 2 weeks on the Sprint model.

 

Well, Boost didn't even announce it and it's not on their website

It is not actually available yet.

How's 96th St.?

I have connected at 96th and 69. I have not ventured around the area to see how well the signal travels.
