Looks like a legitimate replacement for my moms lg optimus g. It may be a Lil late but still relevant. 

I'm on the Optimus G as well--but I think this is actually a downgrade in everything except LTE bands. Processor is only Cortex A7, graphics are Adreno 305 vs. 320 in the Optimus G. (And plastic vs. the fabulous crystal reflective whatever.)

This is a stupid idea.  Using the network while in range of wifi will place unnecessary load on the network.  I turn on my wifi as soon as I have data intensive things to do if possible.  I usually don't use it because my Sprint connection tends to be more consistent than public wifi around here and most of what I do is not data intensive, but rather small things like parts orders, electronic mail, etc.

 

I just hope the providers have a way to turn it off from their end when the user is connected to an overloaded site/carrier.

I think/hope the point of it will be to allow you to keep your wifi turned on and get at least some use out of those inconsistent public wifi hotspots which you are currently avoiding. That would be a net gain for Sprint's network.

I have an app which automatically connects me to TWC WiFi hotspots around the city when within range. Sometimes these are faster than Sprint's network, but sometimes not. A service which keeps both connected and automatically uses whichever is faster seems useful.
