This is the second time that SERO resurfaces in posts i read this week. Although I helped in recreating the SERO FAQ for HowardForums a long while back, I thought it died out. I myself upgraded to the newer plans at the time. Come to find out this week that some are still on that plan. I certainly didn't think that you could place a smartphone like the EVO or Photon on it but it so happens that some did. Man I miss that plan.

foul language

Most know that i mention the Samsung Galaxy Note alot in the forums i go in, but not for nothing, this video is really impressive. Man I can't wait for Sprint to get this thing. Samsung Galaxy Note used to create impressive stop-action video Source: ubergizmo

Ahh Gotcha, Yeah would have been nice for a updated spec phone. I feel the same way about the Note, hoping it will come with more memory and the Exynos processor but it won't happen.

I'm confused. You saying that isn't a galaxy nexus in the photo or that the specs are different. Looking at Google and wikipedia's website, it looks fine as well as the processor and camera specs, or am I missing. is there a Galaxy nexus Plus model?

Speaking of which, wasn't there another device not too long ago on Sprint that had a promotion similar to this contest. Was it the Echo? EVO 3D?, Can't remember, but I do remember that folks were given the device to go around the country and take photos, blog about it before the phone came out I think. Well the phone came out before the contest ended, this may be history repeating itself again. As for Dec 21, Nosty (or as s4gru calls him, Nexty) has a one way ticket to Pago Pago. He hears that Sprint is setting up a NV tower there soon. lol TS

If this article is true, then the Nexus will be released on April 1st. Yeah I know April Fools day, my first thought too, but if you Google Sprint and April 1st, it seems that Sprint has done this in the past. So, as legion mentioned above, with the contest ending that same week. I too believe that the nexus is out in April. But will Sprint have a few areas to take advantage of the LTE Nexus is another question. This still falls in line with my Nostradamus prediction of April/May for Nexus LTE and the Note for June/July. mwuahahahaha TS

Sprint Store

@4rngsnbr ummm, Can you explain that one more time. I kid, I kid. Point taken and good to know. I keep forgetting the size constraints. TS

Nice find. Wow.

S Pen

This is true. HTC just recently mentioned that they will scale down the amount of released devices per year. That's a smart move, imho.

Sort of like the Gobi 4000, but made small enough for mobile phones. But like you said, the big two (if not all) of the carriers might not want such a beast. Only then can the world be at our doorstep without having to worry about spectrums, roaming agreements and carriers stubborness. TS

Good info.

MikG3 was a awesome ROM. After moving to the Photon I really missed his stuff. As for Anker batteries, they have been the best batteries other than the OEM one for the Photon 4G. The company makes a battery charger that is universal and allows a phone to be charged via the usb port as well. I love it and reviewed it here. TS

For those that don't know what that is (like me) until now, this thread explains it. TS

@ S4GRU Good to know, I'll make a sponsor contribution in the morning.Typing fast and fat finger syndrome be damned. lol @ pyroscott Totally agree with what you are saying. Except for one thing. The manufacturers themselves are the ones that started this trend, the customers just took the animal by the horns and went further by wanting the updates (be it bug fixes or OS versions) on devices that hardware wise, can run the OS upgrade and or enhancements. As for the devices themselves, well I believe that instead of spitting out a new device every few weeks (I'm looking at you Samsung Galaxy x, y and z) I think it would benefit the community at whole to just make one or two new devices per carrier every year that wouldn't contribute to the boat load of devices that have different hardware software requirements that can lead to fragmentation. But regardless of competing with the rotten apple, there are so many competing among themselves that lead to this problem. As for xda, lol I know the feeling. But that sentiment goes both ways over there. You have badly behaved members that request everything under the sun that make it bad for those that are patiently waiting for the devs to do their excellent work. Then you also have some devs (and staff members I might add) that also contribute to the problem by acting like immature kids themselves too. It may be a development site by developers, but if you open the gates for all to see, then expect stuff like that to happen. Otherwise close the site off to all and just make it a paid access site for developers by developers. But I doubt that will ever happen because their egos will be crushed and bottom line is alot of them love the huge amount of non devs following them.

Sorry for the back to back post, but I can't edit the previous post for some reason. Speaking of it happening to nexus devices, just read this little rant.

This site makes me sick to my stomach. :puke: Now the iPad is classified as a TV, Anyway the article about the US patent showcasing / doing an exhibit on Apple is here. TS looks in side his bag of stuff and pulls this out. But i think that's the only one. TS

So True

It saddens me that lately every article i read on Sprint is about Hesse being the bad guy for Sprints failures when in fact it takes two (or more) to tango. i do believe the board has to approve each and every decision that would affect the company, Nextel, Clearwire, T-Mobile, Metro PCS, LightSquare, Apple iPhone, etc etc It seems they want the guy out the door yesterday, but i fail to see anyone come up with a better plan. I do get the feeling that once Hesse is forced out that unlimited is gone by way of the dodo. And that is one benefit that Sprint has over others that really keeps the customers staying and or coming in. Agree that its not 100% on Hesse but I would like to point out that I do not think its also has to be 100% Sprint's fault either. case in point. The Motorola Photon, it came out June 30th last year. Google 4.O ICS was announced around May 10th and officially released on Oct 19 to the manufacturers. I would assume that Motorola has a few more developers on staff than Sprint would, but even if they didn't it should take that long to adapt the ICS code onto their phones. (Mind you this is before the bloatware of Sprint). According to their own ICS update page it still shows most of their phones (including the Photon) as in Development and with a possible release sometime in 3rd Quarter 2012. This will place it over a year after the phone was released. This is by the way before actual testing by both Motorola and Sprint, and before Sprint even gets it to place their own boatware on it. This is why I can't blame Sprint totally for holding up updates and rather blame the manufacturers. It's true that Sprint may add to the time-frame for testing and adding other stuff to it, but the majority is the manufacturers fault in my opinion. it is also why so many root and unlock their phones and rely on 3rd party developers for roms, add-ons and updates. BTW, this also applies to bloat-free devices like the Nexus as well. Samsung also takes a long arse time. TS

As Bond would say, Never Say Never. Although I do agree from all reports it does look like 99% no more WiMax radios, But its that 1% that is nice to think about. personally, I do not see why it would be so bad. It would keep those customers that are about to end their contract and are in a Wimax area not getting LTE to still stay and renew with Sprint.

There was a article somewhere that showed the US Patent office having a major display exhibition on Apple. Adds more fuel to the fire of people that claim the US patent office is bias. In one of the exhibits it showed Apple patenting a staircase. TS
