  1. 3G - UMTS/ HSPA:

    EMEA: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps

    Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps

    Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps

    Verizon: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps

    3G - CDMA

    800/1900 MHz for Sprint and Verizon

     

    Lists Sprint in HSPA lol. No Sprint's CDMA is reaching 14.4 with the best of conditions.

  2. Yea it is a shame we are getting all these leaks prior to the official launch. It sucks that we already know so much about a device that we aren't supposed to know about yet. Damn leakers! If you are going to leak information please do it in a matter similar to the companies and their launch events to cover everything! Please spoil the launch even the companies pay to host, wasting their money and media coverage. As customers this information is a necessity to our lives functioning properly, our older smartphones just doesn't make calls, use fast enough data, have a high enough resolution, control my tv, have the latest 4.4 version of android.

  3. You guys are forgetting pictures can super easily be transferred to an external storage device such as a PC or external hard drive. Music on the other hand depending on how big a music buff you are and if you are anti-cloud services since google gives a certain amount for free for you to upload.

  4. The new SiO just means the battery itself is phycially 6% smaller than another battery with the same man capacity. Since it is smaller they can make a biggee mAh battery with the same amount of space. Since the G2 is quite large they have a lot of room to put a large battery like how the notes have 3000+ mAh, which they either don't have the room or choose not to throw it in the nexus, not to mention that is probably a corner Google cut to make the device more cost effective.

  5. Has anyone looked into the enhancement of the recently updated GoogleNow? You are supposed to say "OK Google Now" instead of "Google" but on the Sprint One it still says to say "Google'. My friends One on Att says "OK Google Now". I tried uninstalling the update and reinstalling it and hardreset my device and nothing. Not sure why this is.

  6. I personally don't have the time or patience of dealing with people to go through the process of selling phones for profit. If Sprint offered some discount tier for Nexus users or BYOD plan, I would definitely buy a Nexus outright. If it is contracts that they are worried about, I would be fine with signing a two year BYOD My Way plan with some sort of discounted rate compared to the regular plans offering a $0-200 subsidized phone.

     

    In the big picture they would just be following T-Mobiles model for service pricing. I think they want to keep their contract model with only allowing old/mid-tier devices on their no-contract "Sprint As You Go" plans. From my last check a few weeks ago, they have not added any new devices to their no-contract plans since they launched it.

  7. Guys, your financial analysis is specious.

     

    If the Nexus 5 is sold via Google Play for $349 and is sold on contract via Sprint for $199, you are better off taking the unsubsidized deal.  Otherwise, the subsidy that you effectively pay every month is going toward a $349 handset that is being treated the same as a $599 handset.  And, honestly, if you cannot swing the $349 out of pocket because of lack of available cash, you might want to reconsider whether you are playing above your pay grade in the smartphone stakes.

    Just buy an Iphone 5S, sell it unopened. And buy the nexus 5 straight from google, assuming we will be able to get it from them directly.

  8. Here is my personal thought: the Nexus 5 won't be bought through Sprint but you'll buy it on Google Play and then activate it on your Sprint account.

     

    While I personally would prefer this option, mainly because I bought the HTC One a few months ago and am already in contract. I can't see Google selling the Nexus 5 for Sprint or say Verizon (even though it won't be on Verizon) because the CDMA Galaxy Nexus was only sold through the respective stores, not to mention Sprint doesn't like new phones to be activated without renewing the contract on eligible subscribers. Then again, since it is looking like there will be one model for all carriers it would allow Google to sell them. At this point I guess anything can happen.

  9. The new NFC Icon is rather annoying...

    Yea I turned mine off because of the icon. The att One has it and I was always glad ours didn't.

     

     

    Do you have access to LTE right now and do you use SignalCheck Pro? If so, can you look at see if the GCI and PCI are both showing under the LTE data?

     

    No I don't have lte right now.
