SPH-L710 passes Wifi Cert. Any ideas?

[tommydaniel]

Who wants to guess what this device will be? The Epic Touch is D710. So it's possibly an upgraded GSII, hoping more for the Note. One can dream...

the L probably means LTE epic touch 4g,the one sprint will let the current owners of the wimax version exchange for free , as which we are paying an extra 10 dollars for no wimax service.

Umm, that is no longer a $10 4G fee. They changed it a few months ago, now just about every "smartphone" has to pay that fee. Now they call it a "premium data fee". I think the only smartphone that is exempt is the Reclaim and possibly 1 other. Both of which are classified as smartphones but have very crappy specs & features.

 

[jerrykel]

Right. No longer is but used to be.

Let you exchange for free? Where at? Fantasyland?

The L probably does mean LTE, but the 710 doesn't mean it is an Epic Touch re-hash. The original Epic 4G was D700, guess what the Galaxy Nexus is? L700.

This just a guess or do have any actual proof?

Or it could be the already outed sprint galaxy nexus?

Just a guess.

Like a BOM? Really?

It's an educated guess. Consider:

Samsung generally increases the numbers in a device?s internal name when introducing a successor.

Sprint's version of the Galaxy Nexus was designated SPH-L700, but that hasn't been released so it's too soon to have a successor.

On the other hand, the SPH-D700 (Epic 4G) has been out since Aug, 2010 and is due for an update.

What new high-end phones have been released by Samsung lately (as opposed to announced, but MIA like the Galaxy S III or the Note):

AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD

T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, available March 21st - T-mobile's version of the Skyrocket.

Is it more likely that Sprint will get the same phone the other carriers already have, or get an exotic NEW model exclusively that no one has heard anything about before now? If you recently emigrated to the US or suffered a traumatic brain injury you may not know the answer - everyone else has no excuse and does know.

The Blaze is more lower end than the GSII that Tmo got so I wouldn't put that device in the same category. Smaller screen, smaller camera. It's very possible for the L710 to be the Note, like you pointed out, the original Epic was D700 and the Nexus will be L700 so L710 doesn't equal a re-hash.

It's clear that because of the "L" designation it is a completely new set. Not to be confused with "D" devices. I'm also not saying that it is some fancy new exclusive, but Sprint isn't know for re-hash devices like the other carriers.

You clearly didn't understand. I am referring to what the OTHER carriers are doing. They release 5 different versions of the same phone. GSII, Skyrocket, Skyrocket HD, Bionic, Razr, Razr Maxx...get it now?
