You must not know Verizon very well....
key words: in the heart of the holiday travel season.

I wonder if we've disabled OTAs, will it stop this from happening?

Any delay is better than no delay.
And we're the only ones in the US who will have capable phones past Dec 19th. Give Verizon a little credit.

I have been saying this since it was announced! So glad the DOJ is stepping up to do something about it.
It's not over yet! Do you think sprint would still want them?

Sprint will want it but they dont have the money, there is a group of private investors that have been lurking on the fringe. They have been designated the most likely outcome. Chinese and Russian firms have shown an interest but the Congress hurdles would be great.

QFE. I wonder why it tok this long though, I would've shot it down the moment they announced it.
i think apple should buy tmobile so they can give iphone users a true end to end experience. tmo could exclusively sell iphones, leave all the good android handsets to the other carriers. if all the big networks(ie att and vzw) saw a mass exodus of customers to go to a service provided by apple, prices would prolly go down across the board.

Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you work for.....sprint or at&t but I'm not sure which one

Nothing is ever certain in this world...
I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

I do have that info. It seems that even my employer is announcing it on its website so the info is already in the public domain. So here goes: SGH-T889V.
You won't find much when googleing that, except for a reference related to Samsung's Smartview app.

T-mobile Development

Why is it we get the last of all the ports..
I think it's because the devs have the att and Verizon variants atleast we get it they could say f**k us
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Realistically, probably because T-Mobile will probably have the smallest buy base. But, in the end it shouldn't be too much of a hindrance given how close the T-Mo variant is to both the AT&T version, and the international version. The roms will come no doubt. Just be patient.

At least your variant is released. Sprint is getting theirs Nov 8th.
I have faith, there are a lot of great devs using tmobile and I'm sure some will be here sooner or later.
Also we have a couple great devs providing some great rooms already.

And you he won't release it until people actually test it.
If no one is willing to test it, there's no reason to continue development
Lack of interest = Lack of support

Wait. I've been waiting him the release the test ROM for it to pop up on the T-Mobile development area. Where is it?
I don't quite understand why T-Mobile hasn't been posted. The device tree is ready, but not posted. Really bums me out. If he'd post it, I'd build it myself.

Thank god I have Jump.
It's because everyone else is locked in 2 year contracts. It will take time before everyone realizes how much better it is to go with T-Mobile.. I just jumped ship from sprint a month before my contract ends.. SO WORTH IT!
I like how when/if I pay off my phone in 2 years, my bill will actually drop whatever my phone payments were.. With other 2 year contracts, you keep paying the same price even if you don't upgrade your phone.. Ohhh I could go on and rant about the other carriers, but yes more and more hopefully will go to T-Mobile and start making some roms here.

My friend has a T-Mobile Priv

I may be able to get my hands on it for a bit, I'm pretty technically capable, is there anything I can do that would help us know more about this phone, Advance root, grab apks, etc? It's a loaner device so if it could brick it, I can't do it.

Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.deviceid
And tell us the device id and codename. Then we should be able to grab the apk's off the Play Store.

Yikes! December is quite a while away. I hope that info is outdated... I was hoping John Legere would announce it during Uncarrier X. If it doesn't come out this month, I'll probably just buy it from BB with my bonus since it still gets VoLTE and Wifi calling. Band 12 isn't out where I'm at yet, but the Priv does support it, so the only thing I miss out on is the Jump insurance.

Didn't they remove the word "exclusive" due to legal reasons?
Checked: It now says "first in the US on ATT", so it is no longer an exclusive (timed exclusive maybe)

I didn't hear that but that makes more sense than exclusive since you can buy it from B&B's website. But still the timed exclusive has to be worth it and I couldn't see AT&T paying for anything less than a month.

I'm hoping they never paid for exclusivity and just made that statement as a marketing stunt since no one else had announced plans to carry it. If that's the case, we could see one on T Mo pretty soon!

Whatever you are trying to attach is not coming through.
They released it as an update last Friday I believe or that's when it started rolling out.
Theres an article about it here: http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-three-carrier-aggregation-galaxy-s7-iphone-7-lg-v20-747283/

Didn't attach anything. Was just saying "this" to your reply, as I agree with you.
But it could be seen as an answer to your question as well, if I had been being a smart A. Since the OP said Sprint released "this" today, then apparently "this" is what he's talking about [emoji1]
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Sprint's towers sends out data at different frequencies. Sprint's newer phones can pick up all three of the LTE ones. If you are in an area where all three are broadcasting, your download speeds may increase, as the technology allows data to come in from all 3 frequencies at the same time. I may be a little off, but I think that's the general idea.
Also, its aggregation, not aggression.
