Any new phone rumors for Sprint?

Not necessarily, the Galaxy Nexus was on the Google play store and also on Verizon. I wouldn't rule out a CDMA model. Sprint seems to be about 6 months behind for nexus devices, so I would expect about the same timeframe.

Yeah, looks like any CDMA variants will be announced later. Google has gone back to T-Mo for initial phone release here in the States, like they did with everything outside of the GNex. I find it amusing that T-Mo's landing page for the Nexus 4 touts their "nationwide 4G" network, when what they're getting with this Nexus is only HSPA+ 21 (not even the 42 they like to call 4G).

I still hold that an LTE version is coming, it just looks like it will be coming a lot later.

Not to mention how much T-Mobile is charging for this $300 phone..

Actually if you get it through Tmobile it will support HSPA+ 42

Time to focus my attention back on the Optimus G then.....

and weigh on if it's worth trading in my Galaxy S3 for
Click to expand...

The only benefit I can see is the S4 Pro. The camera may be 13MP, but from what I have read and seen it's worse than all the 8MP out there. The screen would also be another benefit for some, but I prefer Amoled(I know, I know)
The fact that the Optimus G was just released without JB and the S3 just got JB makes me want to stay with the S3...or even go with the Note II.
 
Anyone know if Sprint will get the Nexus 4? Have not seen anything on a CDMA version.
 
I'm hoping because I'm using my upgrade for it.

I was all set on the Galaxy S3 until I watched the Nexus video last night.

So far Andy Rubin says there will be no CDMA versions. But that can change. Sprint always gets the Nexus phones months later. We'll see.

I could honestly see this remaining true. I mean really Sprint and Verizon have both done a great job of ruining the Nexus name. Look at how slow updates are on CDMA Nexus phones. The Nexus S 4G didn't get ICS for months after my wife's GSM Nexus had it via OTA.

The 2 things people love most about the Nexus line is the Android OS with out bloat and fast updates. You don't always get both of those with CDMA Nexus phones.

VZW was 110% worse than Sprint. Either way, both were poor supporters of the Nexus line. They need to release their binaries faster.

I don't recall seeing this on the list, sorry if I missed it -

Sprint Flash coming soon with 4.5-inch screen, 12MP cam and 1.5GHz dual-core processor for $130

And a titanium SGS2. Really??
Click to expand...

My thoughts exactly on the titanium SGSII, "Really?"
If they added LTE to it, I could understand, as it is a still a good phone... but, anyways.

Sprint Flash, LG Mach, and Titanium SGSII on the 11th.
ZTE Flash may bring its 12MP camera to Sprint on November 11th with LG Mach following suit -- Engadget

Also, on the 11th, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

And, Optimus G is available for pre-order.

Also, it looks like all you LG Viper owners are getting ICS. ;)

(PS. I like your new avatar, EM)

Edit: Here is the Sprint link to the Optimus G, they got a nice little video, too: http://www.sprint.com/landings/lg_o...12:RG:HPM4:LG&adSelectData=1:Module_RG_LG_OME
 
Interesting if true - I'd be looking for some improvements in their overlay as well.

On an HTC, you change a setting, it's good - I've read that on an LG for any number of setting changes, you have to reboot the phone. :(
 
Wait - I just caught that the Optimus G has a glass back. I must be slow or something.

Puts that out of the running for WifelyMon's next phone. :(

I thought WifelyMon needed a physical qwerty keyboard though. Neither the LG Mach or Photon Q will work for her?

Here's the upcoming specs on that one.

Ok, yes, absolutely correct, but here's the thing - as soon as I show her something not made by HTC or Samsung, she's going to be asking about ALL of the available phones. :D

So, I want to be totally prepared. Like me, she's been known to change her mind.

And because her other need in addition to good texting is a good camera, I'd be remiss to not be helping her notice her upgrade options in that area.

Myself, I think that the Mach looks perfect for her in the keyboard department, I can't wait to try it out myself to be honest.

She's happy with her Shift's pictures - most of the time.

Same old story - no perfect phones so we have to choose from the ones that are close enough. :o :)
