Thanks brotha.. odds are I'll pick up a LTE device once they light up at least sac... Which will put me into the norm im used to anyways. Sac looking at the same time frame?

Any updates on the northern california areas? North of sacramento. I know were getting alot of backhaul, data speed and voice upgrades. But thats about it news wise

 

 

All of Northern California (and Northern Nevada), north of Sacramento is in the Sprint Upper Central Valley market. This market is slated to begin in 2013. Detailed schedules are not yet completed for 2013 markets and will likely not be available until some time in the Fall.

I'm not optimistic about any launches before October 1st at this point.

Any rumors as of yet for north of sacramento ca? Somehow I'm thinking late 2013 if not later. Really hoping not though.. But we haven't exactly been lucky when it comes to these things

Specifically chico and oroville ca

 

 

You mean this one?

 

Yeah, there are areas on Sprint's coverage map that won't get LTE. Any tower not owned by Sprint.

 

 

This map seems pretty accurate/legit, judging by the tower locations in the planned market upgrades that show up on this site (splotchiness in markets, etc).

 

 

Yah thats the one. It shows that it hits my areas... Well from what I can tell it does lol. X'd fingers anyways

 

 

no more than 1 page back from here its mentioned already bud...

That non removable battery is still a bit of a buzzkill though. Especially for us heavy hitters that dont want to tote around a portable charger

Here is a list of places not getting Sprint LTE:

lol thanks., a pic was posted over in the sprint forums that showed supposed LTE coverage.. Seemed a bit sparse in some areas. For the life of me I can't find that post now. Go figure.

By chance are there any lists on locations that WONT be getting LTE?

 

 

I don't believe so, but I would inquire with customer service on getting an Airvana (femtocell). They might offer one to you if your coverage is poor.

Yah I have thought about that one. Then again whenever they get NV up and running the reception at home should improve. Hopefully

 

 

NFC operates in the HF band at 13.56 MHz. At that frequency, wavelength is 75 feet. By comparison, 1900 MHz wavelength is roughly 6 inches. So, I am dubious that NFC could have been made to work in a full metal shell. And, personally, I think that HTC and Sprint should have stuck with the solid polycarbonate body.

Does this mean its reception will be less than the original EVO 4G? As is I only get 1-2 bars at home.. Less would be a killer for me

Is it to early in the game or is there a list of places that for SURE won't be getting LTE?
