So a CNN new report says that a Sprint Spokes Woman indicated that Sprint is looking to expand their network using this Technology.
"Sprint is talking to Alcatel Lucent about this technology and we will be working with them to test and evaluate it," a Sprint spokeswoman said. "We have been aggressive in smaller factor cell sites to help us support the growth in data traffic."

This seems like a very solid move for Sprint if all works out with this new technology, Cheaper to operate, faster data transmissions, and better signal all round.
Sprints all mixed up Hesses not sleeping well due to the merger news yesterday
Lucent was always forward thinking as a company when they were Bell Labs. Somehow, it's not surprising to me that this idea is coming from Alcatel Lucent's shop.
And that Sprint is thinking about using these devices shows one, that they know they need to upgrade their 'net, and two, they expect to offer unlimited data into the foreseeable future, especially if these towers-in-a-box prove as deployable as they appear.
Good move, Sprint!!

Best analysis I've heard yet.
Sprint is all over the place with news and speculation. I love it!
I'm actually very nervous about the ATT-T-Mobile move. If this move goes down, Sprint is guaranteed to remain the smallest of the major service providers. If this happens, does Sprint lose their wind, or does this kick them in the pants?

I'm sure Google will soon have their wallet open inviting Heese over for dinner before apple does
Anybody notice that Box resembles the one in 'HellRaiser' ?
Dan better be careful lol
I dont know this has failure written all over it.
If they would just slap a few of these on the towers their problems would be solved

This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!
I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants
that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.
Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed the Lucasfilm trademark. That seems somewhat strange to me. Anyone else have any thoughts?
nice find.

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open
yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.
looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for
lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

Not my next phone... also not a game changer...
But here it is. The Milestone
If it had a SnapDragon, I'd totally go to CS, they've got great coverage in my area.

See Droid Shadow (also known as Droid Extreme though there is debate about that)
Yeah, I love HTC though. I'll probably never leave them or XDA.

Out with the right one then.
I'm looking for a snapdragon also.. won't move from the Hero until then! They say that this is the first of many... so hopefully the next one will be the Shadow.... or Desire... Incredible... etc.
Hints from some CS reps point towards the Desire to come out soon after the Milestone...

And the best part is, Android is at or above the market share the iPhone had in it's first year of release. And it's outsold the iPhone for the past two quarters. It's impossible to compete with a multi-phone platform

I hope to hell it doesn't go through. It would be bad for everyone including folks on Sprint, not to mention the people gobbled up from tmobile by ATT. There are still lawsuits going from when ATT and Cingular merged because of how ATT did the people that had Cingular. I just think prices would get higher and with less competition big red and ATT would nickel and dime everything even more than they do now and sprint wouldn't be able to hold out very long against 2 companies that would have 3 to 4 times the customers.

Wasn't it the other way around? Cingular bought out AT&T, AT&T disappeared then Cingular decided that AT&T was a more recognized name and changed their name to AT&T. If I'm wrong then sorry but it has been years.
I as well hope it doesn't go through it would sucks for tons of people
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
AT&T managers are a waste of human space. They treat their own employees like crap and do worse to their customers. A cap on usage? really!? yeah AT&T, go suck it. lol.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that this isn't in anyone's best interest, this deal is probably going to go through. Big business owns the US government. So, what Big Business wants, Big Business gets.
I especially like the idea AT&T is pushing, that this will provide improved use of spectrum. This from the company that is already failing to make full use of the spectrum they already have access to. They have also done a miserable job of network expansion, even though network congestion has been a thorn in their side for years. I wonder what makes the executives at AT&T think that having a larger, more neglected network will be good for them or us?

Probably a stoopid thread, but I can honestly say that this thing rocks!
Every smarty phone I've had to date had multiple things that made me go ARGGGGGHH.
my SIII has done everything I've asked of it. Bluetooth, data reception, wifi, phone reception etc has all been spot on.
Usually at some point on my previous phones I'd go.....wtf !?! But honestly, I have not said that yet. I've found that if it was unfamiliar or different than my previous phones, I usually like it once I figure it out.
Now Tmo's reception......not so good.
But I like Tmo though. After many bad experiences with other carriers, they've been a pleasure, over all, to deal with.
Positive rant over........
True. This phone is excellent. A joy to use and even after I have all my apps and settings loaded it is still lightning fast. Oh and the camera is great.

A different experience compared to our G2x's isn't it? Loving mine so far. You're in Texas so you may like this. I found a nice case at the T-Mobile store that is silver. Combined with the blue phone it looks great and is Dallas Cowboys colors!

Well, mine won't do wifi tethering, FM radio, toggle LTE, or several other things. But that's all thanks to AT&T, not the phone itself

But that's the point. Love it or hate it this type of advertising works... It keeps the product in your mind and also makes you draw attention to something others might not watch...
I just want the facts...not the other one hour, thirty minutes and 14 seconds of hype and crap that video offered.

I completely agree if it wasn't effective it would make them idoits, but for me personally I found it incredibly annoying. I switched off as soon as that actress opened her mouth deloris, delila what ever her name was you know the one that looked drunk and I also skipped much of what happened prior to her appearing on stage and after, the only thing I can remember about the actual phone is s health or something, which I think sound like a bad idea having your fitness/health levels on your phone. Just sounds like another piece of data for companies to mine from you. Yeah yeah I know I'm paranoid.
Now where did I put my foil helmet.
Better be on your head or the CIA mindprobes will be reading your thoughts in conjunction withe the Vampire Aliens from Jupiter who are in on the conspiracy to rule the world using nothing more than consumer interest in mobile phones by stunning you stupid using the antics of Deloris/Delila...
I am not unbalanced or a conspiracy nut, it's true.... They are watching from your phones..:laugh:
