Speculate away...
I just want 4G in my area, or at least confirmation that it will eventually come.
LTE
Death to WiMax!
I want 4g here wimax or lte!!!
I don't care as long as it works on my epic 4g!!
Long live wimax all hail LTE
Would be pretty damn sweet if they announce a hard iDen shutdown date to get the juicy low freq spectrum for LTE too
If they announce lte, all current 4g phones won't work on it...

Our phones have the necessary parts to work on the lte network, all that is required is a software update. Heard it a couple months ago when this was a hot topic.

Thats what i originally thought would be the case an ota update or something, if it does switch to lte it better be in my area!! lol
Even if they did that though, WiMax would still be up and running for at least another two years and some of that time would overlap with the LTE. Maybe after that they can have both the high and low bands for LTE.
So they are gonna take all the way till fall to wait to begin announcing it? How many years till they implement it then? my house misses wimax by like 2-3 houses...and its fairly frustrating...considering that the others already have it fully blanketed in 4g...
As for our phones working with LTE, I doubt it..I found no indication that it will work..heck from the looks of the specifications even 1x advanced and Rev B both won't work :/..unless they did some kind of custom modification...but there is nothing in the chip specs that make it seem like its capable...

I think I might be flamed here, but here's what I'm guessing:

I didn't follow CES as much as I wanted to so I'm wondering in your opinions what is the most exciting phone coming in 2011? I just saw specs for the atrix and I'm impressed. I hate at&t but when it cones out on March I might have to go with it. I didn't see where sprint was getting anything. Anybody jumping on the attic in March? Thanks for the responses.

sprint didnt really announce anything but there is a conference from Sprint at the begining of next month with another "industry first". so well see
Yea its a 1.2GHz triple core HTC Device running 2.4 and 2 1080 cameras that also works on sprints "industry first" 5 G network ......and YES u can F*ck iT.
Who cares about phones?
Sprint is getting David Blaine at this Febuary event... David Blaine !!! Lol
Maybe they got him cause only magic will get froyo on our phones.

And yeah the atrix is pretty much what I expected the Nexus S to be. Gingerbread had no business being released on a rehashed galaxy s. They shoulda just pushed gingerbread to all n1 owners (which was the point of getting that phone in the first place.) And then got 2.4 out on the NS or whatever nexus it would've been if they would've waited. Perhaps a "Nexus Duo" or something since they didn't want a nexus 2

Do you really want that 2GB data cap? I guess it's okay if you don't use much data, but if you ever do use more than 2GB, be prepared to pay for it.
Yeah I know at&t sucks bad and I will prolly hate it. I just couldn't believe the specs when I saw them. I do use alot of data. Way more than the.limit on at&t and I forgot about that so thanks for pointing that out. Wow I never knew they never updated an android phone. Well you guys ruined my dreams. Lol

I wasn't aware that the numbers were this low. I would think that this would be something that Google would be concerned with because eventually this could hurt the growth of Android. Marketing is a powerful thing and if Apple and Microsoft are in some way able to get into the heads of the masses. You know how powerful marketing can be even when it's just trying to spread FUD. The company that I work for has BB as the "corporate standard" but because we purchased several other companies in the past year that standard has been loosened a bit because of the high number of iPhone users at the other company. There are only two of us in the IT Department that have Android and with what I see going on I still don't feel comfortable pushing Android. The first time there was an issue I know that my CIO would use it as the reason why we shouldn't use Android and that would be the end of that.

Haha, so true. I remember when I was showing my friend my wireless tether feature. He was so impressed he did a jailbreak of his iphone4 to get it. Then he got a nice little bill the next month when he went over 2gb. Needless to say, his iphone is no longer jailbroken.
Read into this what you want. I had made a request for 2.6.35 source code for the SPH-D700 on Samsung's opensource site and this is the response I got this evening. Nothing concrete, might be a couple days, "some days" or couple months.

I just wanted to know why nobody uses the sprint galaxy tab source at all for froyo roms. possibly kernel migh be very similar to the epic 4g kernel outside of the screen and keyboard. It is basically a giant galaxy s.

Yes... But then you are going to have the other "10%" *****ing that 4g was left out. You'd be piecing something together for the sake of well... Not too sure what exactly you'd be piecing it together for. There are already a hell of a lotta existing roms out from fantastic Devs that do everything that the rom is capable of doing sans overclock, battery life and a few extras without leaving out a primary function of the phone Just cuz it's not currently available to everyone doesn't mean that it's not a function that can be removed for the fun of it. IMO we'd be taking a huge step backward.
Not being able to overclock and undervolt to me is a huge step backward. Truthfully, for me, (cause I have 4g in my area) I'm torn between the two. The ONLY reason I don't just go back to 2.1 is because of the hardcoded gps accuracy.

I call BS on this statement. I'm in NYC, the most difficult market in the US for good data speeds due to network congestion, and 4G is consistently, at minimum, 10x the speed of 3G. Not to mention latencly is usually 90% less.

When I have 4G, I usually get 6-9mbps down. I even got 4G deep inside a school building yesterday with my Epic. It was very cool. Didn't have 3G at all, but the WiMAX signal was strong and I got 8mbps down on a speed test.

Sprints been at a true crossroad the last couple months on commuting to a 4G technology Wimax or LTE.
99.9 % chance it will be LTE by the looks thus chip plays a big factor.
I don't think there is a dual chip available yet that can play both so it will be interesting.

From what I understand a switch from WiMax to LTE is just a firmware update, so my guess is the chip included would just require an update and there you go, WiMax to LTE on your phone now.

True firmware can be done on tower but not on current wimax chips so they would have to use muti capable.

From what I understand on the subject, the WiMax chips in our phones aren't and can never be compatible with LTE. The infrastructure (network, towers) is compatible with a radio or controller swap but the WiMax chips in the phones are not.
That being said, I would disagree and put it at a 99% probability that whatever they release will be WiMax. LTE would be a better option but I would be very surprised to see them moving to that now, maybe in a year or two.
I had a feeling they were going to have big news. Two things that drive me nuts about Sprints tendencies are their propensity to go with physical keyboards (Epic) and chrome rims around the phone which I think are very ugly (Touch Pro, EVO Shift). If they release a Nexus S, just the way it is but with the addition of 4G, that would be a very difficult device to turn down.

Beceem is the only company I'm aware of that has had muti capable chip in the works and that was well after EVO release....Im pretty sure Epics not using it.
hopefully Sprint has smarted up and will be using it....if its even available yet.

As i said in another thread,if all sprint did was just add 4G to the current nexus S,it will be a huuuuge flop.
If they don't bump the hardware specs i.e. a dual core proc,s'amoled plus,1080p video and true HDMI,this phone will be dead on arrival.

True that. An upgrade to an non-LTE phone and this point doesn't make sense to me. OG Evo still running strong.
the next flagship phone will probably come out next summer lol

WTF, you saying I need to jog??
may grab the evo design 4g just to hold me til the summer http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/sprint-unleashes-the-htc-evo-design-4g-available-october-23rd-f/
I say when they get ready to launch LTE. Although, I would like to see an HTC version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not really into the whole stylus, nor 3D. I just want bigger, faster, more memory. Want to get fancy, include a optical, non-digital zoom for the camera.
I think ICS will make my decision for me. IF the OG EVO can get an AOSP ICS build (with or without WiMAX) I'm going to keep it until I see how Sprint's LTE rollout goes. I'm gonna tide myself over with a Windows 8 tablet when they launch...
So today i seen a review of the new kyocera rise. Whats very baffling is that the rise has the same specs of the epic and yet it has 4.0? its a shame that samsung has to lie to us.

Samsung never stated our phone cant run 4.0 It needed to run mtd and there would have been too many issues with that official update. Get yo facta str8 gangsta

Besides, forget specs, it was 100% an economical decision. Why allocate dev hours to a 2+ year old phone that isn't selling on store shelves any more?
Nah, this is some McBullshiz. Hehe.

Samsung only promised owners of the SPH-D700 (Epic 4G) ... wait for it ...

Everything beyond Froyo was lagniappe. Threads such as this are pointless.

Haha, you're right =] ...on both accounts
However, does it really and truly matter? We have 4.0, we have 4.1 as well as others. Why? Because of the developers in this community that keep our phone from fading away. Who cares if it's official or not. If it was, don't ya think it would probaly be loaded down with bloatware and nonsense to begin with? Official means more stuff i gotta delete to make room for apps i will use! lol.. Just my thoughts on the thing. I love my OG Epic.

No doubt, I have a buddy that went from his Evo, to an iPhone 4s, to a Nexus, and now back to a 4s (work required him to switch this time).
I told him I was running Jelly and he didn't say anything at first until he remembered I'm still rockin' the Epic 4G, then he flipped. Haha he said "my theory is that you'll have that phone the rest of your life". Maybe he's right =]
Just hoping something fails before December so I can make claim for a new refurb before my insurance expires =]
What is BS about our phone & samsuck. Is the fact the GPS is kinda useless. GPS will not work/get lock outside of CDMA coverage. IMA that makes GPS useless! Drive from New York to LA & tell me that its all 100% CDMA covered:banghead:
Not to mention if you take your epic out of North America and want to use the ****ing GPS on it your **** outta luck
**** SAMSUCK!! I love this phone but I still have NOT BOUGHT one thing samsung after finding out the GPS is just totaly ****ed on our phone & there seems to be no fixing it with software.

Speaking of the 4S; did anyone happen to read the Gizmodo article on the Apple employee manual?

No that does NOT WORK! I did a lot of testing with that.
If you Jam the radio bands for CDMA you can not & will not get a GPS lock. Samsung sucks ass! I mean how about if WiFi or bluetooth just refused to work out of CDMA coverage zones!

If you are say out on Lake Michigan or the Ocean or you have the Epic 4G with in a Jamming field of CDMA bands used in the U.S. the GPS is rendered useless. That is proof that the GPS is somehow tied to the cell radio reception and is not an independent true Sat based GPS.
Samsuck ****ed it up totally & never admitted it's falt:banghead: IMA its wrong to say the SPH-D700 Has GPS the Epic 4G's GPS is only going to work in parts of the world that have CDMA so forget trying to use this thing some day as a backup nav unit on a boat, survival bag, in the middle of bum **** NV or AK WI or Off shore, maybe an Oil rig or a fishing boat to log you fishing trip fun in the golf.
