    I am surprised pyroscott hasnt commented yet like "OMG FINALLY!!!!"

    Technically Sacramento should be on the list as well since it hasn't been announced yet. The SF Bay market does NOT include Sacramento.

    Why not just wait until 2013 to get a LTE phone? You will definitely get a better LTE phone than in 2012. If you are ok with Wimax until LTE comes out that would be the path I would go. I assume by your comment that you are thinking about extending your contract with a LTE phone by I would save that upgrade until next year and pick up a Wimax phone on craigslist if you really need 4G. If you did get a LTE phone, keep in mind that LTE would exist in the LA county area starting Sept. Either way to each and their own.

    I agree that Sprint should start NV build out ASAP to get progress going and bring backhaul online to those completed sites as soon as its available. I totally forgot the other potential delay was the availability of backhaul which is not the vendors fault in this case Alcatel Lucent.

    Wow only 35 sites a month???? Dang I was expecting about 50-60 sites a month. I am disappointed it didnt make a March release.

    Great. Glad to see Silicon Valley get in on the Network Vision action.

    Dude just deal with it. Cleveland has been announced to come live sometime shortly after the end of second round markets come live. Honestly why pick on only PR when there are a bunch of other markets which you could also say should not be so high on the second round but they are. Also like muffinman said there are more people in Puerto Rico than in Cleveland.

    It doesn't look like San Jose is that far behind San Francisco launch. My guess will be a March launch time frame for San Jose since Robert is up to January launch markets.

    HAHAHAHA...I did put etc. I don't how much more you want me to bring it down by. You want me to listen the dimensions, WxHxD?

    I am disappointed too that SF wasn't able to make it to the Dec 2012 time frame but Jan 2013 isn't too far off considering the huge amount of delays. I am just glad the first round markets are done with. I can understand why San Jose, Seattle and Portland are pushed so far down the 2nd round list now.
  11. ericdabbs
    Robert has there been any developments in the borderline 2nd round markets like Phoenix, Cleveland, Tucson, OKC, St. Louis, Milwaukee?

    I wish there were more details on the device like the screen size, RAM, processor, flash storage, etc I am hoping for a 4.7 in screen, 1 or 1.5 GB RAM, Qualcomm S4 8960, 16 and 32 GB storage, NFC, BT 4.0, ICS 4.0.4 (upgradable to JB in the future), 2500 maH battery, microSD card slot, etc.

    So apparently it can do 10x10 LTE unlike the GSIII, though that will likely be irrelevant for the immediate future. I still don't understand why the SGS3 is the only phone that only has 5 MHz bandwidths for LTE. I believe the rest of the LTE phones so far can support 5 and 10 MHz bandwidths. They should have included 10 MHz bandwidths for longevity purposes.

    HAHAHA Give the man a break!!!!

    OMG I see San Francisco now with an anticipated launch date of January 2013.

    Febby. Welcome to the site. LA is being deployed with NV at this moment. Since you are new to the site, I will refer you to this thread below for the list of NV markets and their anticipated launch dates. I would suggest you bookmark that thread if you want to keep progress on any other markets that you are curious about. http://s4gru.com/ind...t-running-list/ As you can see from the thread that LA is anticipated to be launched in the September 2012 time frame. Another suggestion would be if you do have the opportunity to become a sponsor, DO IT!! Its totally worth the donation since you are able to get access that shows you which towers are live throughout the US including the ones that are live in LA right now.

    Looks like the Motorola Photon Q has hit the FCC with Model XT897. http://www.engadget....oton-q-lte-fcc/ FCC Link https://fjallfoss.fc...%27IHDT56NL2%27

    HAHAHA its Joan Lappin. Wasn't she the heckler during the Oct 7th Network Vision conference that called out the Sprint executives for not just contracting out its LTE deployment to Clearwire for 600 million? If it is her, then its kinda embarrassing to see 2.5 MHz as a typo.
  19. ericdabbs
    Looks like San Francisco is in huge trouble. They are the last first round market that has yet to have a estimated launch date. Hopefully it can be launched in December if not by January.

    Supertones wasn't trying to be sarcastic. He was giving an honest answer. I don't understand why you took offense to what he said. Basically what he said was accurate in that at launch about 40% of the towers in that market will be upgraded to LTE but after launch Sprint will continue to add towers every week until the entire market is done. Please read the market update article for Houston to find out more details. Please keep in mind that the goal of Network Vision is not to only upgrade to 4G LTE but to also improve 3G speeds through its new tower infrastructure and backhaul. Just by your post count I can tell that you are new to this site so you haven't been able to read all the progress that Sprint has been making. Just watch come July 15th, you'll be amazed when tech blogs start doing speedtests for both 3G and LTE and it will be much faster.
  21. ericdabbs
    What Robert is talking about is that only 40% of the total number of towers in that market will have the Network Vision towers upgraded at launch. Obviously the towers that are upgraded with Network Vision by launch date must be spaced out so that it provides sufficient LTE coverage all over the market so you don't get gaps like Wimax . Don't worry though, Sprint will continue to add towers each week and eventually will complete that market over time. If you read the market update articles for a particular market you can get all the details like how many additional towers are expected to be Network Vision ready and go live each month and when the market will be entirely complete where every single Sprint tower will be converted to Network Vision status.

    I believe Houston is the 4th largest city and Philly is 5th but close enough.
  23. ericdabbs
    You have to keep in mind that Sprint and its vendors are attacking the largest metropolitan cities first so they take longer to deploy enough coverage so that there are not that many gaping holes in LTE coverage. If you look at some of the recent markets that Robert has provided market updates like Jacksonville and Charlotte where its only going to take 2 months after the first LTE sites are launched to be market ready deployable. I expect to see Sprint ramp up their LTE market announcements dramatically in the first half of 2013 where the majority of the second round markets will be deployed.

    Now that Jelly Bean is upon us, hope the new Moto Photon phone includes Jelly Bean instead of ICS. However knowing the track record of Motorola, I doubt that will happen unless Sprint demands them to. No point of deploying an ICS phone when Jelly Bean is the next biggest thing and they still have time considering the phone probably won't get released until late summer but who knows.
  25. ericdabbs
    Just curious if anyone in those launch markets got some sort of text message to say that LTE will be launched on July 15th?
