  1. That's why I have a Kyocera Torque. It's completely waterproof, not water resistant like the S5. More interesting is that it doesn't have an earpiece and transfers sound through sonic vibrations which means I don't have to take my helmet off or put it on speaker phone to use; I just hold it up to the helmet as if it was my ear :D

    I've got a bluetooth headset installed in my helmet.  Phone stays in my pocket right now but since I've got a newer bike with Ram Ball mounts, I'm going to be mounting on the bike and would like to be able to glance at GPS.  The bluetooth headset in my helmet currently is the Sena SMH10 but I'll be switching to the 20S as soon as it is available.

  2. If Detroit is officially launched this is a joke! .89mbs to 1.5mbs a second most of the time on 4g. Sometimes I HAVE HAD 8-9mbs. Occasionally I have had 12-19. And, even once when they put up the first tower in Plymouth 28mbs. Other carriers are getting 30-40.

     

    Plus they still have a lot of holes were towers need up grade. Any one been to a well established Sprint 4g area? Is this what Chicago or Atlanta are like? Please tell me that this isn't what we have been waiting for.

    Getting upset about something that is out of your control is a bad personality trait to have. Be patient and you will be rewarded. If you don't want to, then pay the bouncer at the door and leave for another carrier that doesn't have unlimited data. Either way, your choice. 

  3. Seeking out advice again on the status of the Fuller and Knapp Water Tower in NE Grand Rapids. I can't keep shelling out monthly payments for next to no data service. I don't understand how I can live 2 miles outside the center the second largest city in Michigan and have 2g speeds. Should I bite the bullet and pay the early termination fee?

     

    Thanks

    That depends on whether or not you can afford it.  If Sprint isn't meeting your needs then you need to decide what you want to put up with. If the data service is more important to you, then you go with whatever meets your need. I'm not leaving because I have no expectations about using my phone as a high speed data computer. But if that's what you expect, then you should leave if you're not satisfied.

  4. I have LTE 95 percent of the time where I go now.  Your statement of "I've never had any type of 4G and every competitor in this area does.", simply doesn't hold water any more.  Have you looked at a sensorly map of the Sprint 4G coverage in the SE Michigan area lately? The purple is EVERYWHERE!!

     

    In the end, it's your decision. There is no way to accurately predict when the entire market will be online and upgraded aside from traveling back in time from the future.  

  5. I get that..... I just really wanted a nexus 5, but with all i'm reading about the circuit switchback and now no LTE 800 around where i live and work, not really worth shelling out the extra dough for.  

     

    Extra dough?!?!? Seriously?? The phone that costs 350 total with no contract?? :lol: Versus other phones that are well north of 600??The Switched circuit fallback issue is rapidly going away as more and more legacy sites are being switched to NV 3G.

  6. anyobdy know if we will get 800 SMR an any poritonof the Eastern market?

     

     

    and also explain what the IBEZ is?

     

    Not for right now until there is an agreement.. The frequency interferes with operations in Canada and Mexico.  The IBEZ - International Boundary Exclusion Zone runs from the border with Canada and Mexico into the US to 100 kM away from it (62 Miles). Within it, Sprint is not allowed to use 800 Mhz Voice or Data.
