Dang, looks like more people are interested in the M8 rather than the S5.  Are people just tired of Samsung?

I think for some people having KNOX forced on them kind of did it. It was something nobody really knew anything about and made things worse about voiding the warranty. Plus, the amount of bloat Samsung phones have is ridiculous. You have to pretty much root your phone just to get rid of it. The only reason why I'm sticking with them is because of the removable battery and SD card.

Speaking of the 600 MHz spectrum auction, are there still speculations about interoperability for the band like they want for the 700 MHz band?

I wonder how all of this will play out next year when the 600 MHz auction takes place. I know Verizon and AT&T are dying to get their hands on that spectrum to offload a bunch of their LTE load on that band. 

Anyone been picking up any of this new CDMA800 in DC/Baltimore? And how was the signal strength?

I've been picking up a bunch of CDMA800 around Baltimore and a few areas around DC. I have a bunch of screenshots of the sites.

I got to see this baby today when I went to Tysons Corner and it's a huge screen. It drifnitely has a wow factor just from the size of the screen alone. AT&T is offering it for 149 I think. I didn't get a good look at the contract price but the retail price is much less than the Note 2 which shocked me. 479 vs 700.

I can't believe only 2 days until the shutdown. It wasn't that long ago when I saw that clock at 20, 30 or even 40 days. My how time flies.

Still waiting on LTE around Linthicum Heights. Stuck on 3G all day and it's been months. The other towers near the airport are generally upgraded and shown to broadcast 4G except the two nearest to where I work. 

Good evening everyone,

I'm Ken from Baltimore and have been looking much at this site after I got my Galaxy S3 and finding out more about the NV/LTE rollout in the Northeast and about future deployments elsewhere. I decided to join to gain more information about the project and share some of the speeds I have been getting around the Baltimore/Washington area.
