  1. I think carrying over the iPhone for Life program to other brands would be great. There are Samsung die-hards out there also (me included). I would love to be able to easily upgrade to the newest Note or S model every year.
  2. For the dark side Hemlock Grove. The topic may seem worn out, but the story line and plot are well written.
  3. Samsung announcing that Exynos now will have an LTE 12/13 modem built into their SoC. Maybe they will stay in house.
  4. Well depending on the part of FL it may be a great chance to try the new Direct2You program and a Sprint employee would come out and setup the phones at the house.
  5. Looking at Pittsburgh it would be highly advantageous to see the increased speed of a Note 5 on Sprint's network with the Spark availability.
  6. Interesting article and interview with the CEO. http://recode.net/2015/05/27/sprint-ceo-marcelo-claure-promises-our-network-will-be-no-1/
  7. Yeah our city has a similar Wifi project that is/has been completed for about 10 years. I have heard people mention that it is costly to maintain and may be looking to switch to a cellular based solution soon. I would think if 4G speed and low were the priority in town then Sprint would be the leader. On the other hand the powers that be tend to think their coverage on their farm in BFE outside the city is more important. Thus AT&T or Bluegrass Cellular would get it.
  8. Verizon buying AOL for $4.4B. http://techcrunch.com/2015/05/12/verizon-aol-4-4b/
  9. That absolutely should not have happened. I've done numerous TOL for customers over the years and it's not required.
  10. I've worked at a third party retailer and we would order an advance exchange if the problem were there. Though there are more times than not that the store is close or over what their budget of exchanges is in a month and may be getting pressured to keep it under.
  11. From plugging it in a couple times now I do not like the feel of the micro USB. It has to be plugged in at just the right angle for me. Had already been looking into a wireless charging pad and will get one now for sure. I hate to drop $60 on the Samsung version. Anyone have any luck with aftermarket varieties?
  12. I received mine today! So quick of a phone. Initial turn on to auto-programming screen was sub 10 seconds. Haven't been able to test RF, but speed tests running on all cylinders was 20 Mb+ down! Now all told with updating apps, firmware update, transferring data from Note 3 to S6, initial setup was about an hour. But there was alot of data that transferred through Samsung Smart Switch.
  13. Thought about the Edge but feel like I would get annoyed by it so I went with the black 32GB regular.
  14. I ordered mine early last Friday and am like a child waiting for Christmas morning. Here's to hoping to have it early since I live close to the distribution center.
  15. You don't have to have the SKU either. There is an easy to use search option for Preferred Retailers in RMS for ordering devices.
  16. I know comcast also had a problem in the Chicago area so it might have been related.
  17. Be careful paying with *3. Though you can pay the fixed amount it will usually remember the card number so the next time someone calls in it will ask do you want to pay with card ending in ....
  18. It depends on the location. Here in BG most building permits are printed by the paper (though I've never seen one for cell sites). Some places you can find them on city/county webpages.
  19. And Sprint adds more LTE roaming partners. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=14567
  20. I asked the store here and they aren't selling them out of stock, just direct ship.
  21. I'd be interested to see how much this statistic increases after the plethora of 5S' being given out for free.
  22. To fully utilize Spark you have to be able to be able to connect to 800, 1900 and 2500 Mhz signals. The 2500 has issues penetrating dense areas. So from you say about your landlord doing renovations that have butchered your signal, it sounds like 2500 would be unable to make it through the building materials. Also Sprint maps are designed for street level signals which is why when you go outside you get what you see on the maps. Obviously if you have an Airave you have broadband internet and most likely wifi. That being said it is always suggested that you use wifi when available instead of the cellular signal so that you aren't unnessecarily hogging bandwidth on apps that use more ie; Netflix, that you could be using wifi for.
  23. Now customers can get "attacked" when being rude in stores and it will be an "accident".
