Any new phone rumors for Sprint?

EarlyMon said:
Reviews on the Atrix HD don't give it high marks for the screen or camera. :(

I'm concerned that may apply to the new Q.

The Note really performs, looking forward to the Note 2.

I've seen mixed revies on the screen and camera, EM. Which bad reviews did you read/watch? I'd like to take a look.

Doh...LOL...it would've been a pass for me anyway, but it's a definite pass if that's the case. Any of the tablet plans, connected to the providers, suck!

if the dimensions are right and the diagram represents correctly. it is to odd in shape. too wide...

You're right. Strange dimensions.

Maybe it was meant more-so to compete with the Galaxy Note 2? They already released the Viper earlier in the summer, so this could be the Sprint version of the Optimus Vu (just slightly smaller). Just throwing out theories.

Seriously, does verizon have some sort of exclusivity or patent over the Maxx form factor?

I want a phone the size of the maxx with the 3300mah battery!

Unfortunately it seems Verizon has gotten so big they can manipulate manufacturers and give the absolute worst customer service and still make money... for now. If they keep raising prices and not caring about customer service at all they will fall.

As long as Sprint does what it takes to maintain unlimited data they will be the #1 carrier in a few years thanks to their customer service.

I'm not so sure about that. Their speeds are horrible compared to the other big two and even tmobile is stepping things up.

Throw in sprints money problems during the lte rollout and things could get messy quickly

Sprints "money problems" have been way overstated/embellished ....

The lte rollout is costing them money. That is all.

They would have to really screw the pooch to jack this up.

The rollout is going better than planned from what I see. By this time next year everyone will be laughing over those "money problem" articles. (most already are)

Yup, both have cellular data connectivity

Also, this deal is for business accounts only


Just read that info above on the new LG and that is great news. It may be the rumored phablet they were working on. There have been pics floating around the Note forums of what it should look like

I loved my LG 3d phone on art and have the Viper for my son. Have never understood the bad rep everyone gives them...

Its a roll out with completion scheduled for November.

There are a lot of times I wish you guys had access to what I do lol. There are an average of 10 towers going live weekly, and as I have mentioned, from strictly a consumer standpoint it is progressing exactly how Atts roll out did. Where do you guys think I went when I left the Evo lol.

Today's "test of the day" coming soon :)
Getting even better coverage at the house now.

I hope that is only 10 towers weekly in each market.

If it is 10 towers weekly total, and sprint is going to upgrade 38000 towers, that will take 3800 weeks or 73 years.

If they are going to finish the upgrade by Jan 2015 they need to have 304 towers go live each week.

Dan and I live in Dallas. The reference was to this market.

Each market has its own schedule. Some over halfway completed now.


Early Mon I did not realize which thread we were in... feel free to move to correct thread
 
Just to be clear, if one is out of contract now looking for a new phone sometime before October, the best choices would be the Galaxy S3, Photon Q, iphone 5 (yeah yeah).... anything else on the rumor mill I'm missing?
