Same date?
I believe it was the same date in 2013 when Sprint shut down the last remaining Nextel towers.
Re: What‽
If NASA needs the network to test systems in advance of crewed missions, what crews are building the network.
Interesting
Samsung flagships have had a feature called "Wireless Power Share" for a few years now. lol.
Reincarnation
The look of this phone is similar to the "makeup compact" style of the old LG Lotus phones that Sprint carried years ago.
Re: Not really available
The only problem with AT&T's "rules" for who gets their 5G is there is no such technology as 5G+.
No Sub 6?
Interesting that this version of the S10 5G doesn't support Sub 6, while Sprint's version does.
Don’t see any
Issue with what happened. Fire officials decided on a cheap rate plan that specified only a certain amount of data usage even though their usage pretty much required an unlimited plan. If I were in their position, now, I’d be shopping other carriers for an unlimited plan that meets their budget.
Re: Merger
If you want to see what Sprint can do for T-mobile, travel up the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market. Most T-Mobile/Metro PCS customers that I have encountered in that area do nothing but complain about their service. Meanwhile I rarely ever have an issue with my Sprint service and I've been told by store representatives they are in the midst of adding more towers as well.
Re: End of a Legacy
If you read the RootMetrics reports, which Verizon always touts, you will see for the most part Sprint and Verizon are actually tied for call quality and reliability.
Want to sell more phones in US
But they don't make a phone that's fully compatible with the 4 major US wireless carriers. Doesn't it matter who's advertising it, not many people will buy it.
Screen
Was hoping to hear how the screen looks in comparison to the S8/S8+ and G6. The Sprint Bolt screen left a lot to be desired. Especially with people having issues with half the screen going black.
Hmm
iPhone 8? I'm guessing that's a typo.
Re: No sound improvement?
You'll be happy to know since Samsung bought Harman International, they are including a premium headset from AKG in the box with the phone. In addition, I'll be happy to sell you a portable JBL or Harman Kardon speaker to go with your new S8. lol.
Re: BYE BYE ASURION AND OTHER CELL PHONE INSURANCE COMPANIES...
This service is most likely being run by Asurion. They just took over the Service and Repair business in Sprint full service corporate locations.
Re: Whoo Hoo!
That's funny. But seriously, I live in an area where a majority of the Sprint towers have been 3CA compatible since August. And I live about 1 and a half hours away from a major city.
Re: So sprint lied?
No. People who have the Galaxy Forever program can still upgrade to the new phone at their 12 month point. Any Sprint customer leasing or purchasing any new phone can now add on the ability to upgrade after 12 months for $5 extra per month.
Re: Thanks
Oh, they are still there. FB isn't going to miss an opportunity to increase shareholder value.
Thanks
for forgetting there are some of us who don't have time to look at our newsfeed every single minute of the day and would love to see things in chronological order so when we do have time, we get to see all the posts on our newsfeed, not just the ones you think are important.
Hope they
didn't pay the folks at BMW too much to copy the HTC ONE M8/M9 design.
ETF payoffs?
Didn't Verizon just cancel their ETF payoff promo the other day?
that's strange.
Sprint has been selling a CDMA/LTE A9 since November.
Re: Focus on one thing at a time
They are! Spark is part of the LTE rollout.
Re: They need to
How does offering more subsidizing on phone help RS? It's usually those same lower income folks who end up havint issues paying their wireless bills, thus hurting RS' relationship with the carriers. Back in 2003-2004 Sprint experimented with offering credit challenged customers 2 lines of service with only a $25 deposit. A majority of those customers defaulted on their contracts by not paying their bills after several months.
Re: How many different models can they call One?
Probably the same number of models Apple can call iPod, iPhone or iPad! :lol:
reminds me a lot
of the design of the old Sanyo Zio, also carried by Sprint several years ago.
Re: Includes $70 Unlimited Data
And just how many sales reps over the last decade or so have informed their customers that this was possible? If I'd have to guess, 0. But I'm also guessing, they had no problem telling the customer many times during the transaction that the data was "unlimited".
auction should be
limited to companies that actually actively use their spectrum holdings.
What??
This article says Sprint's network is slow and has poor coverage. Yet the article below says the fastest LTE speeds were recorded on phones with Sprint Spark and Verizon XLTE. So how can Sprint's network be "slow" if it tied for the fastest speed.
Re: Really?
Where the heck did you get that price? Sprint is charging $649.99 for the Galaxy S5 ($0 down + $27.09 a month for 24 months). A 4-year old phone with a single core processor, 512MB Ram and WiMAX is not worth $120.00
Really?
They JUST added a phone that came out in June 2010 to their lineup. Nice!
Re: LOLZ
This is a very easy problem to solve. More and more people are buying tablets these days and carrying them in addition to their phones everywhere they go. Use you phone for making phone calls and your tablet for Google Maps. Problem solved.
Re: management
Easier said than done. They were already using the 3 top network vendors, Ericcson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Samsung. If those top companies couldn't meet Sprint's timetable, image what would have happened if they changed mid-build. They'd still probably be stuck in mid-build until 2015.
Re: "can't compete" nonsense
Ah, but that's exactly the same strategy Verizon and At&T used to get so big in the first place. Anyone remember Bell Atlantic Mobile or GTE? How about SNET wireless? McCaw Cellular Communications? BellSouth?
the only way
Dish Network should win the auction is if there is a condition tacked on that they actually have to use the spectrum, not just warehouse it forever without using it (like they are doing with the spectrum they already have).
Interesting.
While Verizon and at&t continue to gobble up spectrum from smaller and/or now defunct regional players with the full blessing of the FCC, the possible Sprint/T-Mobile merger is getting the cold shoulder. Seems to point to the possibility the FCC would rather only have a duopoly instead of 4 carriers, doesn't it?
Interesting.
I thought Sprint was part of the Tizen consortium.
Wow.
$99 for a phone that was released way back in June 2010? 8O
Re: Still Angry
Maybe this is why HP didn't mind that Apple COPIED the multi-tasking cards with swipe up to close feature from WebOS into their new iOS 7.
How many
Galaxy options does one need? By this time next month, Sprint's lineup will look like this Victory, S3, S4, S4 mini, Note 2, Note 3, Mega. I fear the HTC One, Moto X and LG G2 will get lost in the shuffle.
Good Luck
at getting any inventory of the 5S!
