The Admiral isn't listed in the numbers below because we sell them out of Sprint's inventory, not our own, its likely one of the best selling Sprint phones since it is Nextel's only option. Fun with numbers, the % of sales at my sprint company by phone. The Reclaim is high because it is free out the door.

Professor Moriarty posted:Do you have a spending limit on your account? My wife just called to see what could be done about our low signal strength, and they told us we'd have to pay $150-250 for an Airwave. We just started a contract with them a few months ago and still have a spending limit of $300, so that may be why we couldn't...unless we went through the wrong channels or asked the wrong questions. One thing I did notice from your post was that you are complaining about "low signal strength." I had zero connection consistently for a week. Maybe that is the qualifying difference?

Sprint's GN has a higher clocked processor than the Verizon one. I hope Samsung doesn't make a bunch of random changes like with the SGSII. Also, I hope they're not the GNs that are only really updatable by Samsung. Doesn't Verizon have some of those?

I'm not saying it's necessarily true or false, but I seriously doubt marketing would run ads noting throttling as a differentiator between T-Mobile and Sprint when it really isn't. I'm guessing there will be some PR released regarding this from corporate, and until then I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Plus, you'd have to be a pretty loving bad data abuser to be in that 1% anyway

For those keeping count, that's 300MHz more powerful than the 1.2GHz chip in the HSPA+ and VZW models." Eat it, Verizon.

Gotta bang my own drum here, the report failed to mention that he was talking about roaming data - the fact that roaming data is throttled/capped is essentially common knowledge. quote:Update: It seems the Dow Jones report left a key word out: roaming. Dan Hesse squeezed the word in there, suggesting that Sprint will only consider it abuse when you go data-crazy on a partnered network that isn’t actually theirs (Hesse cites “a guy in his house in rural Montana” as an example). Sprint’s fine print, for what it’s worth, says they can start capping after 300 MB of “off-network” data usage. http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/05/even-sprints-truly-unlimited-plan-isnt-truly-unlimited/

I'm actually okay with throttling if it's done at a reasonable data amount. It is vastly preferable to data caps! Then again, with my usage, I'd be unlikely to hit either. Now, do I sell my Evo 3D on Craigslist when the Galaxy Nexus comes out? Also, since it's been a while since we talked about it, what do we know about Sprint LTE? More specifically, do we know what frequency it's going to use? Will I have 4G service that I can actually use indoors?

If you want to switch your phone while during your contract, don't you have to cancel the contract, pay ETF, get a new contract, and then buy the phone that way?

Had a Palm Pixi due to an insurance claim. I loved the software, but the hardware was miserable -- so despite being able to do anything and do it well, it took 10x as long to do it. The girlfriend wanted to get me a new phone, so it was between the SGS2 and the iPhone. I played around with her phone (an HTC Incredible) and an Iphone 4. I didn't love either one, so I decided on an SGS2 based on the ability to customize and my reliance on gmail. Turns out, I probably won't customize. I love the phone. Coming from a 2.5" postage stamp screen, 4.3" is amazing. With Swype, I don't miss the hardware keyboard like I thought I would. I actually love TouchWiz; it has a horrible reputation considering it adds so many useful features. It's even easy-ish to root. I haven't had the typical Samsung GPS troubles, or even the notorious LOS. But my device shipped without working WiFi. So I have to exchange it, which Sprint hosed up, necessitating a second phone call. But it's all good now...unless...

While I'm excited Sprint announced the first LTE cities, I'm disappointed they're releasing it in Wimax markets instead of targeting places that were skipped the first time around. Phoenix is the 6th largest city and Verizon and AT&T have LTE here now  moolchaba posted:
Assuming Sprint gets it in June, the phone will be six months old. I doubt anyone on Verizon would care that you waited 6 months for an extra 300 Mhz. Most likely the Evo 3 and SGS3 will be out around then too. brc64 posted:Also, since it's been a while since we talked about it, what do we know about Sprint LTE?

I would hope it's not called the Evo 3. It's getting weird. Evo 4g, Evo 3d, Evo 3, Evo 4. Someone over in r&d at sprint is messing with us. I can only imagine the run on paragraph that will the sprint sgs3 variant. Edit: whatever it's called though, I really doubt the third evo will just be a S3 spec bump considering it'll be a year from the S3 1.2 soc in the evo3d. For sure it'll have a better camera, 720 res, and an S4 SOC. I'd love it to be a bit larger display wise (4.5-4.8?) and have a thinner profile. Going to be mighty tempting.. I might be the only one that will miss 3d when they inevitably abandon it, unless of course samsung and motorola start pulling out glassless 3d phones at CES (anythings possible I guess) zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jan 6, 2012 |

Chiming in to thank everyone for the LG Marquee recommendation. Huge improvement from my Touch Pro 1, especially considering how hard it was to use the old phone with a broken touch screen. Only gripe is that Android seems to be capable of so much awesome poo poo, that I'm finding it's hard to actually get it to do exactly what I want sometimes. Oh well, fun little project for me to work on. FWIW, everything about them forcing everyone to upgrade to $40 SERO premium, AND get the $10 premium data add-on seems to be true. All phones available on Sprint after some specific date (varied based on who I talked to) are going to be subjected to this additional cost. The Marquee is the last phone that I know to be universally safe for sure, and the Admiral seemed to be pretty YMMV.

Mark Larson posted:Ask Nexus S 4G owners Or future galaxy nexus owners on Verizon? Seriously, I don't know why anyone is surprised that it takes longer to roll out for a different radio band? It's still going to get the update faster than pretty much any other android phone out there. And I thought you were done trolling this thread? And there is a link in the OP about the LTE plans, but mostly focused on 850mhz and 1900mhz. 2500 is unknown but I would bet on it eventually. The wildcard is 1600mhz via light squared. Sprint is definitely using that if it goes through, but it really looks like it'll get blocked anyway. The plus if light squared gets approved I would think is just a faster rollout.
