. Well it also works for some European carriers as well.

 

 

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.

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.

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.  

That is because TMobile's version didn't come out until this year, not last year like the rest.

 

 

 

That wasn't Sprints decision, that was Apple's. If you look carefully, you will notice that Apple's hd voice implementation doesn't work on any US carrier.

It works on Tmobile/ATT

Not AT&T. Just T-Mobile.

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.

Good, BA is a disaster in a lot of places.

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.  

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.  

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.  

You might like the choices they make for you, but what does it matter when you don't know any different? Then, you want to know something different, but because you are not a techie, or dont have a desire to learn something new, you are a sheep in their pasture.

 

There is no arguing Apple makes great products, but the turn off just as many people as they turn on with their "security" and "experience" restrictions on how you use your device.

 

Case and point, the lack of sensorly.

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?

A lot of what Apple blocks has nothing to do with your security, it has everything to do with controlling your experience and tailoring you to an unchanging experience you get too familiar with. I have many friends with iPhone that are sick of apple, and tried several Android phones, but cant shake iOS because they are not tech geeks, and are overly familiar with the product. They don't care about what it can't do, they only focus on what it can do. Android people are opposite. They say, yea, this is cool, but how about we try XYZ.

 

Look at the ability to change your keyboard on android vs iOS. They force you to like what you get, and before you know it, you are stuck like glue to the OS and then sometimes, even a fan boy is born.

Lol, those are the times I wish I had my old Android phone so I can flash a different PRL.

 

 

Real wireless network nerds do not use iPhones.

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.

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.

Took the actual deal for work. INTJ. Maxed out that I.

 

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.

Charlie Ergen really must hate SoftBank. A lot.

Also FWIW, I had zero 3G data movement earlier today at 81st and mingo tower. Great -71 connection. Reset everything, same deal.

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.

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.

 

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.

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?

so xxxx charlie ergen, and everyone else who wants to continue to hate and spread FUD about our ALLIES.  

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.  

AT&T is in an even worse place. To start with, they don't even have room for a 10x10 MHz carrier in many places on their primary LTE band, band 17. Then, they have a smattering of AWS that they will be able to use in a few areas for an extra 5x5 or 10x10 capacity carrier. Their only other "virgin" spectrum is WCS, which will give them room for another extra 5x5 or 10x10 capacity carrier. Their best case spectrum availability is 30x30, and I believe their worst is 5x5. To expand, they will need to cannibalize their current 3G network, which is not renown for its quality.

 

Verizon has a minimum of 20x20 that they can deploy, nationwide, with a lower average frequency than AT&T's spectrum.

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

Battery powered TVs and generators work just fine. I have a small LCD that receives digital OTA. Used it last hurricane when I had no power for a week.

 

I would hate to see any OTA channels go away as many people use them. I use them myself even combined with satellite TV. I enjoy having the additional sub channels and the quality is better getting it from the source. My satellite receivers put them right there in the guide and even let you DVR the channels like any others.

 

There's also another aspect people do not think of. Many cable companies and satellite POPs in the various cities receive the local channels via OTA since it is much cheaper than fiber to simply snag the digital 19 megabit signal out of the air.

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.
