I reread your post and to me it sounds more like your bitter towards sprint since you can't have the phone you want right now. Be patient good things are worth waiting for.
Wow, you are trolling, and/or reading challenged. There is nothing "bitter" in my post I was making factual observations after being a sprint customer with an average of four lines and 15 years (since they were GSM), and having some experience in telecommunications myself.
It has nothing to do with what I want. it has to do with the profoundly short window Sprint has. How long was the "iphone killer" Pre relevant, a few months? Handsets age more rapidly than ever. Sprints window is VERY small.
I am up in September, I am not the least bit worried about avbialvbity for myself. The availability problems with 4g handsets are a serious problem for Sprint, not for me.
Disagree... Everything he said was based in some form of truth. It sounds like you are just trying to start an argument over it since you don't have a rebuttal to make.
Thanks!
I disagree entirely, his words do not sound bitter but rather a fairly logical observation on the current state of things. I don't see any reason you could see that as bitter unless you yourself did not like what his post contained so you were "bittered" by it.
Thanks!
Some of your information here is believable, but Sprint and Clearwire are beginning their own test of LTE and will implement a much faster spectrum than ATT and Verizon. Clearwire has already purchased that spectrum. 70mbps download speeds sound pretty damn good to me, faster than Verizon.
Clearwire aims for 'real world' downloads of 20 to 70 Mbps | ZDNet this is the link to the article that read. It won't be long before Sprint has LTE maybe by the end of 2011 but for sure sometime in 2012. So I put my faith in Sprint since they have been my preferred carrier since 1997.
You would find all of it believable if you knew anything about the business. It is all is factual, not some.
Sprint has been my carrier for all my private family lines since early 1995. I have 45 line years with Sprint PCS, so since I went through their change from GSM to CDMA, I know what switching technologies can entail.
[like most people my corporate provided handsets have not benn Sprint, but ATT and Verizon]
The fact is that wimax to LTE will be seriously messy for Sprint and to some degree for its wimax users.
Sprint and clearwire have NOWHERE near the deep pockets of ATT and Verizon. From a financial perspective in order to deploy LTE they will have to cripple wimax roll out. From a technology perspective is a looming problem with handsets.
Are you thinking they will concurrently have LTE and Wimax? if so with what spectrum. If not, do you think the makers of handsets are going to put wimax plus lte in individual handsets? If so for what carrier? Sprint alone?
And lastly when it comes to Sprint, they lose controlled spectrum advantage if they are going to deploy wimax and LTE concurrently and overlaid.
What some people don't realize is Verizon will not be rolling out a city at a time, they will be unveiling something like 100 million to 130 million person 4g coverage around December.
Now you didn't rebut a single data point or conclusion I made. It wasn't anything but a discussion of the problems caused
for Sprint by the availability problems with their 4G handsets.
