I disagree. Removable battery is way more useful for me than having a waterproof phone. I don't plan on using my phone in the water. Removable battery is something different from Apple and Samsung, now its the same so why should I choose LG over the others especially with an older processor.

Any news on the #SprintOpenMobile deal???

It's a done deal but won't take affect for about 8 months hopefully less.

I went to western plaza yesterday and didn't see any B41.

Would Sprint enable B13 on its phones just to use in one market?

Good luck. I've been contacting Sprint for over a year to try and get at least a small cell added to this site. The other carriers felt it was worth it. This is Ramey btw so you know the area is pretty significant.

English article. Good move as Sprint won't use cash and gain subscribers, coverage and spectrum.

If this is true I really hope they keep that B13. I am not sure but I checked someones phone who uses Open and it was on 10x10. Another thing is that I know a lot of people that visit here and use Verizon and they always complain about data speed since it's 3g only. Now Sprint can charge Verizon for that LTE and satisfy their customers. Sprint really needs lowband here.

Drove to Best Buy in Hato Rey the other day and picked this up outside on my G4. Hopefully they will update the west coast soon.

Have you seen any updates on the west side?

Not sure if this was already posted but the Sprint HTC Bolt was approved.

Marcelo just posted on twitter saying:

 

"TOMORROW is a very special day in my life. We have an awesome announcement to make that will make a lot of people proud. #can't sleep"

 

In the comments someone asked if it was personally or professionally and Marcelo tweeted back "Both"

 

 

Any ideas?

He was in Japan a few days ago I believe.

That's how I feel. I picked up a cricket line in New York and brought it to Puerto Rico. I am very impressed seeing LTE everywhere. I see bands 2,4,5,12/17 and 30 compared to 5x5 b25 with less sites. Very frustrating. Sprint worked great in NYC though.

Skip the small cells. They need a macro cell site and b26/b41.

 

Don't understand how they can offer 50% off and calls drop, data speeds are poor and horrible signal strength. All this at an airport. Sigh....

I would love a macro and b26. There's no b26 in Puerto Rico though. I can't recommend Sprint for now until all towers get upgraded here and some more sites added.

I'm at the Marriott Courtyard in Aguadilla, and service is awful here and at the airport. I can be standing still and loose an LTE signal, and forget the 3G data speeds....

 

San Juan today wasn't too bad, although I was surprised that signal strength was so poor near El Morro.

That's a bad location. I sent many reports on sprint zone. That's a heavy traffic area. Airport, hotels, dmv, coast Guard base, University and schools and more in a square mile. If you look on top of the Marriott there is a lot of cell equipment from other carriers. Sprint needs a small cell there.

July 4th in two beach towns and only 5x5 b25. Aguadilla beaches were packed today. On regular days seeing 3 Mbps avg. It's been declining since 50% off promo.

If your ok with waiting till about 2020 for 600Mhz...Sure..

 

I think them deploying more B25/41 is smarter choice.

I wish someone could find out what happened at the 800 MHz auction in December. It's much needed here. You enter most places and you drop to 3g or roaming.

That doesn't always work out well. Too many cooks ruin the soup.

Maybe so but it can also be positive if they can work together. Also it would be a big blow to JL I'd imagine.

Dr. John Saw, Sprint's CTO, has plenty of experience with 2.5 GHz and other high frequencies given his work at Clearwire and on Project Angel, etc.

 

See this Bloomberg Article which talks about his background:

 

He can remain at his position and work with Ray.

Would Son promote Marcelo to that job? If that happens, who runs Sprint?

 

Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I thought the same thing. I wouldn't mind if they grabbed Neville Ray. I would like to see what he would do with Sprints spectrum.

Throttling like that would be the definition of suicide for Sprint. If they want to do that for their prepaid brands to make it similar to Cricket, I'd be fine with that. You'd just get a ton of people complaining that they can't get 8 Mbps in the first place. Plans like that aren't great for today's networks. Maybe for fixed wireless (which is something that we'll likely see with 5G) plans like that will come to fruition.

 

I think Sprint should make a throttled Unlimited plan (6-8Mbps) for prepaid brands only and offer full speed data for capped plans that throttle you after your limit.

If you get more people on the lower throttle like 1.5 or 2 Mbps, wouldn't that create less strain on the network? I looked at T Mobiles plans. The minimum for Binge on is $65 for 6GB. Sprint can even do $60 as the minimum unlimited and have a $50 tiered plan. T Mobile is $50 for 2GB.

I think Sprint has to try something besides waiting for 5G and small cells. How long can they rely on 50% offer.

I mentioned this a while ago.. I think Sprint needs a way to jump ahead of the others since they are playing catch up. Would Sprint be able to handle changing all its plans to unlimited but throttled, essentially doing what T Mobile is doing with Binge on?

For example: 3 plans unlimited. $50 unlimited throttled at 2 Mbps.

$65 unlimited throttled at 8 Mbps (like cricket)

$85 truly unlimited no throttle (maybe after 30 gb if conjested)

This would basically defeat Binge on and music freedom and no net neutrality issues.

These plans and prices are just examples off the top of my head. Would this benefit or hurt Sprint?

Well .. i talk two days ago with a crown castle project manager in the pr 349 . Claro is building first carrier 700 mhz at that tower Att already add fourth and fifth carrier lte and Sprint has first carrier lte..He said Att has a big advantage in the island .also they have DAS at plaza las americas..and the mall of san juan is next....

Was at mall of San Juan yesterday and Sprint was barely usable. Lots of roaming especially in stores. Sprint and T Mobile are only carriers out of 5 in PR with no low band. Outside service was good. Plaza had some issues as well. B26 is really needed here.

This is what I have been wondering. I will drop to 3g and stay on there even though LTE is strong. This is with a LG G4. All my phones are G4 so I can't compare.

 

Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

I just want to know what happened at the B26 auction 5 months ago.

 

Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I'm with Sprint because I have multiple unlimited lines with PR and US phone numbers. T mobile won't allow this so I'm stuck. I know Sprint isn't the best but it works for my needs. I wish I could recommend them in PR but I can't until they upgrade throughout the island.

This is from my living room. Front of my house is lte and the rest is slow 3g. I can't complain.
