What are you using to detect eHRPD vs CDMA? Thanks.

I will be rooting for the Photon!

I was in NW and eastern DC last Monday and lost total voice and data multiple times. So who knows. Metro service is decent all things considered.

Clear is a bunch of dirtbags so they have devised a system of researching demographics for areas with the large populations of people unlikely to use their service (ghettos) and set up towers there to say that they satisfied FCC requirements.

Well it is a nice addition to my ghetto, I would have gotten a 4g WiMax phone a year ago had I known this, although I got this one for less than it costs for the insurance and deduction so I can't complain.

That't also what I have read, what is a "protection" site?

OK, I just found out I have WiMax here now, speeds are about 2x better than 3g which is a huge welcome!

Does it take a while for Sprint to update there coverage maps on their own website?

How is battery life when you have coverage all day?

Looking forward to that!

Not at the PhoneDog.com guys office.

How much spectrum does / will Sprint have on the 800mhz block? Will they be stuck with 5x5 there too? While we are at it, how about the 2.5Ghz block too?

Yeah, order three of those for each tower, then they will have plenty of room.

Pretty sure I remember reading that txts are sent out over 1xrtt and that the phone actually bumps back down to 1xrtt to send a text or a voice call? So if it is already on extended roaming (1xrtt) there is not change, if you are on 3g (EVDO) it has to change?

What month do you think they will get around to doing D.C.?

Sounds like it does not fail the Null Hypothesis to me. Get back with us for some more numbers, because I get similar results every once in a while, but like most. .5mbs is the Sprint 3G fast lane.

Darn, was thinking about picking up a Photon to replaced a well worn but still kicking Palm Pre.

Alright, just remember reading that about 10 years ago...

So when my current phone roams, what frequency is that on? It's amazing how 1xRTT roaming can beat out Sprint 3g with full bars on download speeds.

I just remember my 1st phone, Samsung 660 having something about CDMA 800?

CDMA 800/1900 MHz

Probably has been posted 10x already, but doesn't pretty much all of our phones already have 800mhz CDMA support already?

That would be me. Did a mobile speed test today, I was in par with a 28.8 modem.

This is a Shentel area. Shentel has big NV plans and is already underway. Shentel will be completely done with NV in mid 2013. No need to be so pessimistic. You'll fare a lot better than most other similar types of areas.

Explain "Shantel" please. Is that a subcontractor or former wireless company?

25401, nothing going on, and we are talking about .1 to .25 Mbit/s max 3g speeds, no 4g until probably 2015.
