Re: Just like sprint itself
Also Sprint never claimed they would be getting it publicly. That was all Blackberry at CES in January. You say phones, yet Blackberry hasn't released multiple phones in years. There is only one Blackberry phone out now and it isn't that great of a phone for Sprint to splurge money on and have inventory just laying there. There's no large demand for this phone. Blackberry shot themselves in the foot when they locked it to AT&T for months ...
Re: The Identity of the Third Party
Apparently they hired a 3rd party company called 'Cellebrite.'

Don't know if they were the ones to unlock it or someone else.
Re: Follow the leader
Sprint has their 10GB that starts at $100 a month and waives the access fees for each line you bring a number over and purchase equipment through a no contract option. So Sprint already beats this offer if you meet the requirements.
Re: Now the Question Is:
According to the article, they already charge $40 for the activation fee. I would assume that applies to using their finance option too.
Re: Basically , the same as T-Mobiles'
That plan was expired a few weeks ago. The $50 Unlimited Plan expires tomorrow as well. It will just be the $60 Unlimited Plan available tomorrow for no contract options or the $85 Unlimited Plan for 2 year contracts that will offer unlimited data.
You should be more worried about
Them now owning AOL since they now will control the media in which they produce. I would assume anything good about net neutrality will cease to exist on any of their news platforms lol.
Re: Might look enticing but just remember...
If you aren't going to keep the phone, then it's a great offer since you aren't paying for the Galaxy S6 32GB model with this plan and leasing the phone. If you plan on keeping the phone, it's still a better option to buy it after the 24 month lease term is completed. Either way, Sprint is crediting you $20 a month for 24 months on the leasing option with this offer.
You also have the option of trading it ...
Re: I think
Too bad their customers are blind morons and will follow them and allow them to rip them off continuously and stay with them.
Re: There You Have It
Because AT&T did a poor job copying the offer. It only rolls over for 1 month and then expires. T-Mobiles expires after 12 months. If you're going to copy the offer, do it fully, or not at all. Like Verizon is doing because they are by far the most anti-consumer company available, yet even after verbal proof that they don't give a damn about you, people will still vouch for them.
Re: Honestly
Sprint had this for iPod Touches a few years ago..but the problem was it was for a previous model of the iPod over the current one.
Re: "It's the user's fault, not us." Once again.
The service wasn't hacked, the celebrity logins were breached and not the service as a whole. There's a huge difference between what you're saying and what actually happened. From what the hackers did, once they gained access to their iCloud, they performed a restore on their phone and copied the photos and such from their phone.
In terms of how Apple Pay works, yes, the fingerprint does actually mean everything, as well as the phone having NFC. Only the ...
Re: Easy passwords are part of the blame for that.
Apple (along with the hackers)came out about the issue and they were using bruteforce attacks which allowed the hacker to attempt to login as many times as they wanted. The hackers said they were using a top 500 word list to gain access to the account once they got their email address that is associated with the account.
Easy passwords are part of the blame for that.
Perhaps jenniferlawrence@gmail.com and password1 weren't the most ideal options. However, Apple did fix the security issue where it would allow the attacker to guess the password an infinite amount of times.
This is a lot more trickier or impossible as they would need to have my phone and thumbprint to authorize the purchase. The unique tokens for the cards are also tied to the device so they cannot be used on any other phone.
I don't think iOS updates = revenue for Apple.
However, all companies tend to look out for their shareholders, so why are you surprised?
Re: carriers
What was your credit card, I want that!
I know some Amex cards offers an additional year warranty for your purchases.
Re: carriers
Sprints TEP from Asurion service ranges in cost from $8 a month (usually basic feature phones) and $11 for mainly smartphones. They also offer TEP Plus that is $13. Deductibles range from $50 to $200 when replacing it through Asurion.
Re: No news or pricing from Sprint?
Nothing yet from Sprint on my systems or on the dedicated page for it. I'd say check back here or on this page at -
http://www.sprint.com/landings/samsung_note 4/index.html?ECID=vanity:galaxynote4 for updates.
Re: Dear Supreme Court
From what it sounds like, the user has all of the control and the carriers can't do anything. This is basically the iPhone lock option making the device completely useless and unable to be activated or even used and locks the device down completely. But I agree, no one else besides the owner of the device should be able to access this.
Wouldn't be surprised
if they count this towards your data using your miniscule data package they offer at a terrible price too.
Re: that sucks
I love Radioshack for the random cables that I need at times. Haven't personally shopped there for something in a while though. Surprised the one by me has stayed open for so long to be honest.
Re: Once an icon, now a gimmick for lower tier competitors to steer customers their way?

double tap on the home button (not pressing in) and it will trigger the one hand use by shifting the screen content down for easier use for one hand.
Re: Awesome!!!
You'll have the option of
a) trading the phone in and starting a new lease for another iPhone.
or
b) keep the phone and go month to month and pay off the device.
But I get where you're coming from on that.
Now from my standpoint as a sales person for Sprint. Explaining EVERY other plan that we have and now these plans, it's going to get effing confusing for customers. They are already having trouble understanding the Family Share Pack.
Re: Once an icon, now a gimmick for lower tier competitors to steer customers their way?
But then I could enable the one handed operation on the iPhone 6 Plus as well and reach everything with one thumb as well.
Re: Once an icon, now a gimmick for lower tier competitors to steer customers their way?
Cost is set up my the carrier. Sprint has sold the iPhone 5c and 5s for cheaper than Apple for over a year now. In regards to having a display, I'm sure Apple has them have their own separate station for it just like Samsung does with their Samsung stores in Best Buy that's broken off from the cell phone areas.
And early 2015 is what specific date?
Exactly that. Within the first few months of 2015. The fact they had over an hour and half on the 3 separate models for their show and the CEO was determined to have this made, I would bet anything it will be released. 2015 is 3 months away, I would expect this thing to be out within 3-6 months.
Will this thing ever actually be released?
Yes..they just spent over an hour and a half talking about it. Of course they're going to release it. It's slated for early 2015 as stated by Steve Cook himself and it being worth the wait.
Apple did this recently with the Mac Pro as well announcing it ahead of it being released a few months later. This is a brand new product and they're still working on it clearly, they just gave us a ton of information on ...
BTW, any idea when will these beauties be available?
Note 4 has an October release with Sprint, may differ with other carriers. Nothing on the Note Edge yet.
Re: How many different models can they call One?
The iPhones are all numbered.
The iPads are given names iPad Air, iPad Mini w/Retina.The only dumb was the 3rd gen iPad when it was just called "The New iPad", I'll give you that.
The iPods are given different names, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, etc.
HTC is just lazy and calling everything HTC One. I've had to refer to the HTC One "M7", HTC One Max, HTC One "M8", HTC One "M8" Harmon/Kardon edition, and now the HTC One ...
Why?
Because California. Dumb politicians being dumb as usual. I'd rather have control over the killswitch over the carrier. I have an iPhone so I can do it myself, but the carriers don't need their hands in it.
Re: Yeah, but...yeah, but...
Yeah I was happy with T-Mobile until I got into a building. If it gets resolved and they manage to help with the building penetration, I'm all in and would love to do it because their data speeds were damn impressive, especially fully unlimited. T-Mobile is the only carry I see actually making changes that we benefit from.
Re: The reason for the end of the subsidy
The ESN for starters will be blacklisted. You don't know Sprints unlocking policy. Most devices aren't able to be unlocked period, and Sprint is working to change that in 2015 so any phones purchased before they change the policy won't be able to be unlocked for use on another carrier in the states. That doesn't change the fact that if the phone is bought through Easy Pay and the balance isn't paid off, Sprint won't do anything to help ...
Re: Yeah, but...yeah, but...
I luckily have a discount with AT&T and pay around $75 a month so it's about $30 less than what they were wanting to charge me for a mobile shared plan. T-Mobile was about the same after my discount with them even though it's only 10% compared to 23% I get with AT&T. Just wish T-Mobiles reception was stronger and had better penetration or I'd be all over it.
1.15 million are lower profit tablets.
Damn, Sprint was doing the free galaxy tab 3 offer and that still lost them 542K in subs. :lol:
Re: The reason for the end of the subsidy
All costs will become due immediately if you cancel service 6 months in. If you don't pay it, it will hurt the customer more (credit wise) than it will hurt the carrier. Also, that device becomes a paperweight until it's been paid off. It cannot be activated on another account until all fees are cleared.
run out of time before 150GB of data with home internet..
That's very subjective. For me personally, I go through 150GB easily through the first week or so.
Re: price
My mom has Boost, hasn't complained at all because she doesn't really leave far from the house. If I had it though, I would hate it because I need faster data speeds.
Even worse
$40 additional per phone if you purchase your phones with a 2 year agreement. :lol:
Re: I always hear Spring is doing this and that wrong
No, but my original account got lost because Yahoo expired my account for not logging in after a certain amount of time, so I couldn't retrieve my account details and decided to start a new account.
Re: cool phone with a crappy carrier
Aren't overages some of the worst things in the industry anyways?
It's 1.5 cents per MB, or roughly $15 per 1GB of overages, and off network roaming overages are $.25MB with Sprint.
Re: exactly
Rich Brome said:
Sprint has their challenges... which is exactly why - from their point of view - they need a great exclusive phone like this.
What you meant to say. :wink:
