I wish I had waited, too! lol. Oh well..ya live and ya learn, right? That said.. my GS4 with LTE works great here in a nearly band 25 complete market. So I'll live : o )

Bittersweet! Those of us with single band GS4s are presumably offered no reasonable upgrade path to the tri band device (aside from waiting out the contract..at which point this phone will have been rendered rather moot). But I'm still glad to see it come to fruition. Let's get bands 26 and 41 rolled out across America!

Nor are you taking into account the fact that the only substantial wimax provider in the United States at the time (and maybe even the world? I don't know) was broadcasting at 2.5 ghz. Signals at that frequency do not propagate very well (distance wise) nor through many structures. That was, of course, related to Clear's spectrum holdings at the time. But, yeah, as people migrated off wimax to LTE devices, more bandwidth was freed up, allowing for faster DL speeds. Several of us here in Atlanta noticed that as well. Once all 3 bands are fully deployed with "Spark," I'm sure you'll be even more impressed.

Well if you meant "Kentucky," my home state and prolific NCAA basketball title winner, then that would be entirely understandable. Many are addicted to KY basketball. However if you were referring to the OTC KY that one might purchase from CVS then, well yes, that's quite a different story.

Now we know why Apple was in no hurry to squeeze in the appropriate radio for it. And, for most people, 800 mhz LTE plus 1900 LTE is plenty enough. For most, they need not even concern themselves with band 41. Unless you live in the center of a very major city then it's basically a moot point for you. It doesn't carry very far and it's only meant, accordingly, to really help in densely populated, very urban environments. So don't stress about it! : o )

That's because you can't!

Does anyone know when Ericsson is going to begin deploying 800 voice here in the Atlanta area? I understand that there is one, lone tower barking out 800 mhz (in the Athens area, actually) but the rest of the towers remain on 1.9 ghz. Anyone know when 800 mhz voice (and, beyond that, LTE on 800 mhz) will start going live?

I usually get 8 down and 7 up here in Atlanta. And this is inside. In densely populated Midtown. Ran a speedtest just now and it was right inline with what I just stated. Not bad for being indoors on a 5x5 deployment. No video lag whatsoever....like, ever.

How is Samsung's goal of increasing Android security (especially for enterprise) anything other than a positive?

I had the same thought as they have have historically updated their their coverage map page roughly 24 hours in advance of a slew of geographical launches. Perhaps they are being a bit more (understandably ( conservative?

And, not to gloat (but, rather, to speak of things to come), but I honestly don't recall the last time I was stuck on 3G here in Atlanta. And that's just with PCS LTE enabled. Once I'm able to get my paws on a triband device I may just have a geek orgasm over the speeds I'll be getting. More importantly, however, will be the great leap in in-building penetration and general coverage gap infill. As an aside..as this is a former Clear market..I'm assuming TD LTE is also already active here..though I certainly have no evidence of that.

P.S. Rosetta has some b*g a%_ ti$s. Just sayin.

Is the shockingly poor grammar on this post a joke or have some American children truly been "left behind?"

Oh I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me!

Is this on a tower that was already previously broacasting LTE? If so...I wonder if it's the start of 800 installation in the E KY market? I sure hope so!

Awesome! Re: Lexington, I was thinking the same thing!

I noticed that the deployment running list hasn't yet been updated. Where did this info come from? I see that you're a premier sponsor so I'm aware that you have access to greater information.

You know what else hurts, AJ? MY EYES when I'm forced to read poorly constructed pseudo-sentences strewn with typos and other glaring grammatical errors. It only supplements the pain of the misinformation contained therein.

Very open, honest discussion there. If you've not watched it..you should.

That's what SHE said.

Awesome! !

Nice demo but. .hmm.....I don't need speeds like that. Maybe NASA does.

But winter is still a long way off, even in cities like Fargo and Minneapolis. It's technically still summer so let's not get prematurely worked up. Mmmkay?

Yeah I noticed. But, again, there aren't that many towers to upgrade. I'm only talking about Lexington (proper) even though I know the East Kentucky market includes a much larger area than just Lex.

Interesting.
