  1. I'm surprised you are getting usable roaming in the US on GSM. I thought that domestic GSM radios were disabled in the chipset so that wouldn't happen. Also, I didn't know that Sprint had GSM roaming agreements with any of the U.S. GSM carriers. Talk about surprises.

    As odd as it sounds, I've gotten that GSM roaming message when I was in the Bear Mountain area in NY using my Photon last summer. Haven't seen it since.

  3. According to that (Long Island) map, the eastern end of Queens including JFK Airport and part of the Rockaways (all within the NYC line) are designated in the Long Island Market map. But if you look at the NYC deployment map those areas are covered as well as quite a few western Nassau county areas. 11570 (Rockville Centre) is covered but 11572 (Oceanside) is not, its in the Long Island map only.

     

    This is unscientific btw, using the gallery maps and Google maps.

  4. Back when I started the list, that link was brought up and back then and even now, my work address (which by the way is for the city of new york) does not recognize my organization, so it may not work for everyone. Although they do provide a phone number to call and have it set up manually over the phone.

  5. This is crazy, with all these beast phones coming out I don't know what the hell to do. I am gonna be spending a lot of money this year on phones. To make it even worse my girlfriend is a phone whore too so if I get a new phone then I have to get her a new phone too.

    Welcome to my world and nightmare. lol

     

    I can see it now, explaining to the bankruptcy judge, " umm yes Your Honor, I am seeking bankruptcy due to buying too many phones in a year". lol
