I'm betting Jelly Bean merges in ChromeOS as the "webtop" OS since the Chromebooks outside of a few contracts were complete non-starters and it seems like it'll work better than the Linux/Mozilla setup that Moto used.

Any chance for a breakdown on the individual pieces of equipment in the NV cabs as far as function/role in the site?

IANAL

My brother and a bunch of co-workers went on when of those technology cruises (3 days at sea listening to speakers and then getting fall down drunk repeat) and while out there they could all use their cell phones since one of them acted as a base station and the others meshed to the rest through it. Now if the base station phone was used to make a call on the private net it broke off the rest of the devices except the one it was connecting to. It was pretty neat for 2002 era phones. I would suspect that nextel could have used that tech to help worm their way into the nation wide first responder network and live off that cash cow pretty much forever.

I personally have the ability to get new hardware this year before December due to Sprint Premier shutting down, or I can wait untill Feb and update then. Choices choices... Also I'd like to see more devices support Sprint 4g (LTE of course) once it's rolled out. Tablets, Laptops, Game Devices, and so on. Thinks like the iPad, Xoom, and the new Sony Playstation Vita. Even now with the dearth of devices meant to be mobile the choice to have Sprint built in is few and far between. I want to see that change. Another phone I'm now somewhat lusting over is the Galaxy Nexus 4.65in 720p AMOLED screen, dual core 1.2ghz cpu, and some of the nicer camera software on the Android side of the fence (I take LOTS of pics with my phone). 2012 is gonna be a very interesting year for phones and Sprint that's for sure

Personally it's a toss up for me. First the more likely one to head to Sprint: Behold! The DROID RAZR. This thing hits me on so many levels. Solid specs, svelte looks, and it's got the RAZR name which, by the way, the original RAZR was one of the toughest longest lasting non-smartphone devices I have EVER used. The real kicker for me though is the ability to plug into a laptop like dock and use it as a computer by way of the "Webtop" feature. Very hot for those of us that don't want to pull out a fullsize PC or Mac everytime we update a file. Second and far less likely I think is the Samsung Galaxy Note Dat 5.3 inch screen!! Dat stylus! Seriously, this thing is a beast and for someone like me who has for the most part switched to the Android platform as my dominant web browsing system I'm gonna need that extra screen real estate. Same resolution as the new Nexus (720p) and same internals as a GSII makes for a super hot phone in my opinion. Oh yeah and the stylus. Before I bought my EVO 4g I was a dyed in the wool WinMo 6.5 user and loved my styluses. Granted this was before capacative screens and it wasn't as easy to use your thumb but they worked and for some one like me with big sausage finger the fine point of a stylus can be a stress saver. So what do you want for your next Sprint device? (lets keep it to hardware only please)

A high end HTC, Galaxy Nexus, and MAYBE a nice Motoroloa device along with a couple of USB modems and Mifi type devices will be the lineup. I don't see a point in launching a dumbphone with 4g but thats a possibility too (if Moto has no device then a dumbphone or a tablet will probably also launch) This is a nice phone and will be as well in 4-6 months when we (better) start hearing things about the 4g rollout and devices to use it.

I only wonder what the modern cellular/WISP industry in the US would look like if someone like Cingular or Time Warner had thrown money into it back in 2000....
