    That sounds really frustrating. My understanding is that Samsung has used a low-cost CDMA radio in many of their devices. Motorola appears to have a real edge in CDMA radio performance. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    So you caved? The Moto implementation of ICS looks to be pretty close to stock. Here's hoping they come out with a killer JB device, one of these days...

    But I thought I saw reports that the newer devices have better 3g performance with LTE turned on, due to the new herp-derp system. That ought to count for something, no? Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    Go Charlotte! Happy to see the article. Just got the Airave so we should be able to tough it out for the next few months.

    Isn't Charlotte listed with Austin as early second-round NV? What cities are we waiting on for Charlotte's NV upgrades to begin?

    That's why I'm sticking with Sprint. But I apologize--we are now on a strange tangent about what constitutes a responsible and professional review of a phone. Not really what you or I believe.

    They don't typically. They say it's a nice bonus if it's in your area but don't count on it otherwise. The difference is that AT&T phones fall back to a 3g network that is actually quite good, and about 10x as fast as Sprint's 3g. Sprints entire value proposition right now is based on promises of future upgrades. Again, these are promises I choose to believe, but I'm not a professional reviewer, just an enthusiast.

    I agree 100% with jefbal's comments above.

    I am as excited about upgrades as the next guy, but it's the same issue as don't buy a phone because Motorola swears it will get ICS "someday", you may be waiting longer than you think. A reviewer would be doing a disservice to the readers if he were to take these companies at their word about upgrades. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    Sprint has promised to do this and has completed some work, but none of the sites are actually officially up and running, are they? Also, network.sprint.com does not even show the network vision upgrades, and official Sprint communication about when particular cities will be upgraded has been extremely sparse. Many areas will not see NV improvements for a year and a half, reviewers cannot in conscience recommend a phone sold on a 2 year contract under these circumstances.

    I have occasionally gotten decent speeds in Charlotte, but never during the week, and never uptown. Just moved and can't even hold a phone call at the new place, have to use Skype over Wifi. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    The Qualcomm document indicates that some form of this is part of 3GPP Release 8. Where does Network Vision fit in with 3GPP, 3GPP2 etc. ? Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    Thanks, did you read the article in the first post? It details a technical solution to the problem. I am asking if Sprint is implementing that or a similar solution. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    Also see http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/05/cable-companies-to-allow-wifi-roaming-across-50000-hotspots/, the cable wifi hot spot thing will be pretty useless if it breaks your connection every time you go from one to another. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    Hi everyone, first time poster. Here is an article I found about seamless wifi-3g handoff. http://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/3g-wifi-seamless-offload.pdf The case in which this is useful is, turn on ESPN radio or NPR streaming, then go walk the dog. When I get out of range of home Wifi, stream breaks and I have to go into the app and restart it. I understand NV will bring LTE-to-3g seamless hand off (huge improvement over current situation with Wimax). What about Wifi? Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
