  1. You just shot yourself in the foot and didn't realize it. It worked for them when it 1st came out. Not on any US operators. Didn't work for TMobile until they got the phone this year.shot myself what now? It doesn't impact me other than it doesn't work on Sprint. I couldn't care less what other carriers it does or doesn't wok on. AT&T should support it but they don't care about wife and audio support or they would already offer it. Sprint and veriZon run CDMA networks so they'll never support it. VoLTE will likely be the first hs voice that iPhone supports on sprint. I'd love to be wrong though and they support the current CDMA version though.
  2. As Sprint laid out in their lawsuit, Clearwire investors are incentivised to vote in favor of the Dish proposal due to the fact that they can then cash out in lieu of being part of a company wherein the minority shareholder would in theory have veto power over everything and simply be motivated to bankrupt the company because their stake would have priority in bankruptcy proceedings. This is actually a provision in the Dish Tender Offer, along with even more not very well publicized batshit crazy things. Read the sprint lawsuit if you haven't folks, it's pretty striking.
  3. . Well it also works for some European carriers as well.
  4. It works on Tmobile/ATT http://gizmodo.com/5992454/t+mobiles-hd-voice-hands-on-a-sweeter+sounding-iphone Not AT&T. Just T-Mobile.
  5. Or SoftBank further finances sprint and in exchange gets some convertible notes for sprint stock at a reduced price. Sprint then in turn raises its bid for Clearwater to - If they use all the 4B something around 5.70 a share. Further strengthens soft banks position in sprint and sprint in clearwire.
  6. Good, BA is a disaster in a lot of places.
  7. Cook mentioned opening up more APIs, not allowing customization of fundamental aspects of iOS. Apple won't even allow that on OS X, although thanks to Terminal, you have the ability to do that if you know how, but a VERY small fraction does. That's very different than iOS where you will never ever get command line access to the OS without jailbreaking.
  8. If you're having battery life issues, read this http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html You'd think a lot of it would be common sense, but in most cases I've seen- these are the culprits.
  9. On AT&T here, my wife has iTunes Match. Until they rolled out LTE it would buffer quite a bit as well. I think it's a great service and it works well on WiFi or LTE. Sprint, or any other carrier's 3G though might not cut it for high quality streaming of anything. I'll certainly be getting iTunes match (and a smaller iPhone as a result) once LTE is up and running here. Probably be about the time the next iPhone is out so timing is pretty good.
  10. A pretty one-sided view of it, but it's a valid viewpoint nonetheless. Just as it's valid for anyone to prefer iOS to android based on merits rather than stupidity or ignorance. Now can we get back to the topic at hand of 800Mhz 'eh?
  11. unless you happen to like the choices they have made. In which case, it doesn't detract from your experience at all.
  12. Real wireless network nerds do not use iPhones. AJ Speak for yourself thankyouverymuch. Yeah, it sucks that they restrict certain things, but the trade offs with security without virus software, privacy and the like to some are worth it.
  13. MBTA is all about revealing preferences that people already have, and can help to find constructive ways to interact between totally different types. I Vs E for example.
  14. Another intj! He crazy thing about that is INTJ is one of the more rare breeds. I suppose an online forum would suit INTJ quite well in a number of areas.
  15. Took the actual deal for work. INTJ. Maxed out that I.
  16. Also FWIW, I had zero 3G data movement earlier today at 81st and mingo tower. Great -71 connection. Reset everything, same deal.
  17. Sanyo SCP-8100 Palm Trēo 700p iPhone 4S Between the last two I was on the Death Star AT&T with a shit Centro and awesome iPhone 3GS. Only problem was I couldn't keep from dropping calls. So Sprint finally came to their senses and carried iPhones. I got to come back. Before all of them though I had WorldCom and was sold to old school AT&T Wireless. Had a Nokia something or other.
  18. When it gets backhaul it will spit 4G That site (when unloaded) will give off decent performance. The untouched tower over next to the 71st firestationl gave me 2.6 down the other day and it has received no work. Could be, but I've never ever seen that performance anywhere near woodland hills down to the target on the other side of 169. And it was for a few hours that I was out too.
  19. Ok out in south Tulsa all day today I've noticed incredibly fast (for sprint) 3G all day. Just did a speediest by the QT across from woodland hills and got 1.28 down and something like .8 up. Must have turned on some back haul or something. This is great. I was able to stream YouTube in real time.
  20. I'd buy more into the japanese fears of owning an american company than the american fears of japanese owning an american company. Am I the only one who remembers that america put the Japanese american people into internment camps during and after WW2? And then said it was for their protection? And then ended up having to pay out reparations and apologize for being racist xxxxxxxx? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment so xxxx charlie ergen, and everyone else who wants to continue to hate and spread FUD about our ALLIES.
  21. I don't understand the foreign ownership thing when Vodafone owns so much of VZW, and T-Mobile is partly owned by Deutsche Telekom AG as well. it's because they're asian, not european. racist, fear mongering xxxxxxxx.
  22. AT&T might not be ideal, but Sprint isn't deploying 10x10 ANYWHERE for LTE. the G-block is getting 5x5, and 800Mhz is getting 5x5. It's only if they can get approval to buy Clearwire from the rest of the bitchy shareholders that they'll have a nice position in pretty high frequencies for something to the tune of 20Mhz worth of TDD-LTE. So while AT&T only has 10Mhz in some places, Sprint has it in zero, with plans for zero more. Unless they get to buy Clearwire. Tomorrow. And to the above WiMAX question (again), Sprint / CLWR went with WiMax for many reasons, not the least of which was a buildout requirement they had to meet. Hence WiMax protection sites (find a map in the sponsor section) that they put up specifically to try to avoid losing spectrum licenses. So yeah, it sucks that it didn't work out, but in many ways it accomplished what they needed at the moment to accomplish.
  23. That and the whole national security threat business is all speculative at this point. Furthermore, the US Government has a backdoor into everything anyway so it's not like your conversations or data sessions are exactly top secret. Unless oddly enough you use iMessages... O_o
  24. the only TV channels I get are OTA. I have no cable or satellite of any sort. That shit is far too expensive for me to justify right now. Gotta watch my football on sundays still, so I'm also definitely in favor of keeping the OTA TV alive and well thankyouverymuch.
