evo shift?
looks like a slightly different version of it.
Re: They're certainly not worried about consumers
idk if you caught what i was trying to say. im not usually a fan of the FCC but they finally got something right with the net neutrality thing. im smashing vzw not the fcc. and my reference to "free" was in reference to vzw wanting to control what its customers are able to do on the internet. and as far as the government takeover, well at least we have some control over who does what upstairs. i appreciate ...
Re: Gee--
what a crime. somebody should make a law against that... oh wait. they did and it failed!
Re: They're certainly not worried about consumers
do you honestly think that will keep vzw from charging us more? i dont. you know, in the land of the free, it seems that less and less is truly free. apparently not even on the internet will we be free to do what we want. is that what you really want? vzw will kill off way more creativity than it will produce if they are allowed to do this. i know you're blinded by your love for big ...
Re: AMERICA'S DIRTIEST NETWORK
apparently big red thinks it needs to big brother and control everything... what a d-bag move.
i bet the author of the trojan is...
steve jobs! lol. bad enough he is losing market to android.
Re: bonus points
true, and i totally agree with you but that did not stop sprint and metro. and im sure it wont stop vzw and att from calling it "4G" even though their speeds are from the mark needed to call it so. its kind of a dead horse dude. let it go.
Re: Thoughts on "G's"
ditto
Re: I live in a metro area
same here menno. technically i live in another state from the nearest metro area, but thats only becuase of a river. portland OR is covered pretty well by tmobile, but on the washington side (vancouver WA) where a lot of people live that work in porltand, the story is not the same. spotty as hell. and only really strong on the freeways and interstates. I moved to sprint awhile back with the promise of better coverage and better value ...
Re: Irrelevant
lol, I like your points but for the love of god. learn a new synonym for irrelevant. i would put you on the same level as the valley girls and the word "like". as in " i was like walking down the down and then i was like omg i forgot my phone!"
Re: Here we go again! the break-down...
no negativity here diamond as a fellow sprint lover, i just dont take it to the degree you do. its quite simple actually...
100mps down=4G anything else, by definition is not. is Wimax faster than 3G? yes. is it 4G speeds? no.
Re: Watch the lawsuits roll in...
idk man, sounds a lil biased. dont get me wrong here. i am very happy with sprint and even though my contract is up, im probably gonna stick around. T-mobile is just doing what sprint is doing, and when i first heard about clear, i kinda looked the other way. by definition its not even close to true 4G speeds. Its all about marketing what you have and what your competition doesnt. same thing could be seen in the ...
Re: WiMax has the same amount of coverage as HSPA+?
i gotta agree with diamodpro on this one. if anyone every claims to have bad coverage, the first thing out of anybody's mouth around here is "tmobile?" weather or not hspa+ or wimax is fatser doesnt really matter to the average person, either way its fast enough to max out whatever phone you have. and there is no doubt in my mind i would gladly take sprint's 3g coverage over tmobile's. matter of fact, thats why i left tmobile ...
Re: tmobile should be slapped for this!
damn ur an idiot dude, its kinda hard to take your claims seriously when you cant spell. since when did ur become a word?
Re: Does that mean LTE is 5G?
dude, its common knowledge among techies. 100 mps is pretty crazy considering what is "4G" now but that is where is should be to actually be called 4G. its just like VZW calling its first android phone "Droid". which in the eye of the costomer makes verizon the first company to have "droids" *facepalm* it seems stupid to me and you, but to the uninformed/missinformed it seems like the word of god. but i do agree with your thought ...
Re: boonies? what about...
boonies? you guys need to head out west. we have some of the northern most rednecks here. (Washington state) but the real boonies are in wyoming. hell the jackalope out number the humans out there. And atleast wyoming is flat, you could cover 3 zip codes and 42 people with one tower! :)
Re: holy megabits batman!
thank god for wi-fi, right?
Re: Clear will switch to LTE
lemme know when T -Mobile gets coverage outside of downtown anything with that HSPA+. its fast, no doubt. But at the same time, you have to respect clear/Sprint's ambitious rollout of their "4G" network. which really should be 3.5G at this point considering the speed we have. (Portland, OR) Either way, it really isnt that big of a deal right now as to which technology is used by who. they are very similar, and compatible in most cases unlike ...
Re: is it just me....
that sounds plausible to me. perhaps VZW is using the highend motos to be there ace in hole against the iphone. that is, until VZW can get the iphone for themselves.
Re: Nooooooooooooooooooo--
agreed, in a world of scamming salesmen, its nice to see there are good ones out there too.
Re: Samsung Craft
i agree, sounds like a slightly watered down epic. with 1x? strange, but then again metro did jump from 2g to 4g. i wish they would have taken a lil more time with their first device on lte, and perhaps the newtwork its self. espcially when it tests around the same speed of most 3g networks. it will be interesting to see when a giant like VZW gets a hold of lte. im hoping they deliver on the ...
Re: Fireworks Through a Screen Door
i have today. and u can put all kinds of facts for or against the screen, but unlike blue@$$hole. i think the screen is really top notch, on par with if not better than the iphone, or any other smartphone out there. i was a lil disappointed with the keyboard, i wish it was a little more solid and snappier when u slided it though. that being said, the camera was smooth, the operation flawless, and it is my ...
epic vs. evo
so im on the fence about which to get. ive seen the evo and played with it a bit, it seems fast, pretty smooth with everything, and the cameras and video recording is pretty beast. but it lacks the keyboard that i so love. and from the reviews, i hear mostly amazing things about screen and speed for the epic, but its lower resolution camera lacks the clarity that a 5mp should have. and the wifi seems to lack ...
Re: Warning! The developer changed his name from Jakee to CallmeJack
probably getting ready to send you about 5 job scams a day. anybody else getting those stupid emails? dear mr so and so. i am happiness to great you... gotta love the grammar though. gets me every time.
Re: Merger Question
bit of both. throughout the last few years they have been losing customers. everyone knows that. but they also have a ton of spectrum. vzw, doesnt even come close, and att is a distant 2nd when it comes to the amount of spectrum they own. to be honest, i kinda like the merger idea. tmobile's phones on sprint's network would be pretty awesome.
Re: Let's get rid of subsidized phones...
idk man, wouldnt that kinda defeat the purpose of post paid companies? and then destroy the market for smartphones. everybody would do the cheaper, pre-paid phones. and as far as i know, the only people that walk around with 500 bucks burning a hole in their pockets are pimps, dealers, and mexicans. im just saying, the cell phone industry would look pretty bleak.
Re: Because the Nexus One, Droid Incredible, HTC Evo.....
no, because google, motorola, htc... ADMIT and fix it. not pass the buck.
Re: Is it just me....
unless you are roaming on sprint"s network! :D
Re: high fives all around!
sgreed, i was gonna save up for the evo, but i might take a look at the epic first.
Re: I Find It Ironic...
its like facebook, it knows when your single so it recommends dating sites. lol
Re: Won't hurt Verzion
dude, bandwith. i dont care what a ceo says. talk to an engineer. its a friggin fact that should be common knowledge that verizon actually trails ATT in bandwith in most places. as far as i know the only company with more bandwith than ATT is sprint, and lets be honest, with the bleeding of customers they have had the last few years, im thinking they would be a better fit, as far as network goes.
Re: Guess iphone will be on Verizon soon
agreed!
Re: More bars in More Places?
att= lots of advertising money, no more left for expanding towers... solution? we will rig the phones to lie! genius!
Re: Interesting....Glad I jumped ship to an EVO
is this jeff in 3720? its true though. atleast in the northwest, ATT has better coverage than most, and more often than not, in the middle of nowhere too.
good bye evo, hello epic!
I was really looking forward to the first 4g phone (no, its not 100 M/S. shut up.) especially since its htc. but with the things ive heard and seen, im glad i waited. I know im kinda old school, but i gotta have a physical keyboard. I really dont care that it doesnt have an 8 megapixel camera or a micro hdmi port. chances are i would never use them and neither would most people. 5 megapixels is just ...
Re: Goodbye "The Shack"
hardly, i know of a store in portland OR that does 400.
why all the hate?
if radioshack was so bad, why would the biggest electronics retailer in the country want them? hate us all you want but our business model is working and well in this slow economy. matter of fact, most of our stores are growing in most areas. and the management is being very responsible with the money. no risks needed. so cash, coming out of the pockets with grwoth in a slow economy... whats not to love? i just dont want ...
Re: If Best Buy and Radio Shack merge....
nah, often you can find the products radio shack carries in best buy except the generics stuff. same high end cables, laptop chargers, phones, laptops, routers, etc. just usually a smaller selection. and the bestbuy employees usually specialize in one department or another where radio shack employees have to be a jack of all trades. matter of fact, im a radio shack employee. my strong suit was not laptops. i ended up buying a laptop from best buy with ...
Re: i think i'm going to be sick
i feel your pain on some level. we never sell ipods, but we are always running out of phones. and my manager has been working for radio shack longer than i have been alive. so yea, we are one of the few super fortunate store with lots of knowledge.
Re: i think i'm going to be sick
im gonna echo CS2006 on this one. how can we suck if radioshack is growing with cash in the pocket, not debt, and best buy is trying to find a way to help their weakness?
