Sprint Offers Promo to Keep Loyal Upgrade Eligible Customers
by Christine T on Feb 03, 2012 2 Comments">2
Sprint recently announced that it will be changed its terms. Because of this, several users were trying to find a way to get out of their contracts early. When Sprint heard of this, they decided to keep their ‘upgrade eligible’ customers from leaving their service. One way to do this is to offer discounts between $25, $50 and even $100 to their loyal subscribers. With regards to the criteria of eligibility for the offer, no clear information has been released by Sprint. But we’re quite pleased that Sprint decided to offer this, especially with their loyal Android smartphone subscribers. Meanwhile, …
Sprint: No More WiMax Phones, Focusing on LTE
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 16, 2012 6 Comments">6
There was so much news last week at CES, there is still more news trickling down to us. Sprint said last week at CES that their focus is now on LTE and producing LTE devices, meaning they are done with WiMax. You might remember back in the spring of 2010, Sprint was the first to market a 4G device, the HTC EVO 4G, although it was WiMax 4G and not LTE 4G. Which as we now know WiMax didn’t pan out like the way Sprint wanted. Sprint is now in the process of migrating their WiMax coverage over to LTE …
MIUI Officially released for the Epic 4G Touch
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 16, 2012 3 Comments">3
Finally the Sprint variant of the Samsung Galaxy S2, the Epic 4G Touch, now has an official MIUI release. For those who do not know what MIUI is, it’s a ROM that – in many peoples’ opinions – feels a lot like iOS. Mostly due to the fact that there is no app drawer, and all your apps are placed on your homescreen. While others can and will argue that it does not feel like iOS because there is to much customization on MIUI for it to be iOS-like. But we can all say, it’s closer to iOS then Android …

by Joe Baquilta on Jan 14, 2012 4 Comments">4
The LG Optimus S is a good smartphone. The device could be considered one of those entry-level Android smartphones. It has been out for quite some time now and it has already received a lot of praise from Internet reviews and first-hand users. They claim that the Optimus S is the best smartphone in its category. What makes this Android gadget stand out is the fact that it has a sturdy build, its 600 MHz processor is able to handle Android 2.2 very well, and it’s the cheapest among the first Sprint ID smartphones. Since it is a Sprint …

by Alexander Maxham on Jan 12, 2012 5 Comments">5
Sprint has posted that the HTC EVO 3D version 2.17.651.5 update should start rolling out today. It’s a minor maintenance release that addresses the following: Updated Peep client (to align with Twitter) Battery life improvements Security update I know you guys with the HTC EVO 3D are dissappointed you aren’t getting Ice Cream Sandwich yet. Yes, HTC did say they’d start rolling out ICS updates for their phones in January, but you know how updates are in the Android world unless you have a Nexus. Now back to the HTC EVO 3D and it’s newest maintenance release from Sprint and HTC. The …
Sprint’s Galaxy Nexus has 32GB of Internal Storage
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 11, 2012 2 Comments">2
Great news for all of us looking for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. The ads that had the Sprint Galaxy Nexus shown with only 16GB of storage seem to have been wrong. I emailed Sprint yesterday asking them why they weren’t offering the 32GB version, and they got back to me today saying that they are offering the 32GB version of the Galaxy Nexus. So now all your Sprint customers thinking of switching to Verizon just for the 32GB Galaxy Nexus don’t need to. So now the question is will Sprint charge the same $299 that Verizon is charging? Or will …
Where does Sprint stand on 4G LTE with Devices, Plans and Prices?
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 10, 2012 0 Comments">0
Over the last couple of days we have seen a ton of Press releases, but it looks like we missed something important. Sprint slipped in some information with their Press Release of the Galaxy Nexus, and the LG Viper. Sprint says they have 15 LTE devices set to launch in 2012, on top of that it looks like they will be keeping unlimited data for their LTE network. Good news right? Now we did not hear anything about throttling, so they could be taking the T-Mobile route and giving you a cap, and once you hit that cap reducing your …

Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming to Sprint
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 09, 2012 6 Comments">6
Late last week ads leaked out on CNET’s CES page of a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, and today at CES 2012 it is official. Unlike the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Google Wallet will be on Sprint’s Nexus. We’ve also seen in those leaked ads from Friday and Saturday that the Sprint Nexus would have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor instead of the 1.2GHz dual-core processor that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and the GSM versions have. Sprint will only be offering the 16GB version, which is surprising since Verizon has a 32GB CDMA version of the Galaxy Nexus. So why did Sprint announce it …

by Alexander Maxham on Jan 05, 2012 2 Comments">2
At the Sprint investor conference earlier today, CEO Dan Hesse confirmed that Sprint is throttling data speeds for the top 1 percent of users, not going to point any fingers, and he seems to feel strongly about those that abuse the unlimited data plans on the nations number three carrier: For those that want to abuse it, we can knock them off Currently Sprint still maintains their mandatory unlimited data plan for all smartphones, CEO Dan Hesse did not make any hints or say anything about switching over to tiered data plans in the near future, but I am sure it’s coming since …
Sprint LTE Set to Land in 2012 – New Phones On the Way Too
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 11, 2011 1 Comments">1
Just recently, we wrote an article about all of the U.S. LTE wireless providers. It was easy to tell that Verizon had a firm grip on the LTE market in America. However, almost every other provider behind Verizon was either working on an LTE network, or building upon its current 4G network. However, Sprint, America’s third most popular wireless provier, was not working on an LTE network to our knowledge at the time of the article’s publication. Instead, Sprint had decided to lengthen their WiMAX deal with Clearwire. As soon as you think that Sprint is going to stay with …
CES 2012: Something Big from Samsung, Sprint and Intel?
by Christine T on Dec 08, 2011 1 Comments">1
For those who are anticipating the upcoming CES 2012 in January, there are some new information you can look forward to. We have enough reason to believe that on this particular event, Samsung Mobile will be launching their first Android that’s powered by Intel. To add to this bit of information, the new phone will be a property of Sprint. Recently, we’ve heard rumors that Samsung has plans to step out from the PC business; considering its immense success in Android devices. In an effort to stop this from happening, their partnership with Intel has been renewed. As you might …
LTE: Verizon Versus the Rest of the Pack
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 04, 2011 5 Comments">5
As soon as you turn on your TV nowadays, chances are you are going to get blasted with tons of 4G or LTE commercials from all of the best wireless providers. Therefore, you are probably wondering which provider has the best 4G “LTE” network. First, we think it would be nice to define the terms “4G” and “LTE”: 4G: is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards. LTE: This is also known as “3GPP Long Term Evolution”. Because LTE does not comply with the 4G standards, it is …

Sprint Starts blocking Tethering Apps in the Market
by Alexander Maxham on Oct 31, 2011 6 Comments">6
In another move that’s sure to irritate at least a few folks, Sprint has effectively blocked the downloading of any tethering apps from the Android Market, in what seems to be a move to keep people from abusing their unlimited data plans. This follows in the footsteps of the other major US Carriers, who have also blocked tethering apps in the Android Market. The apps are still working, in case you think that your WiFi tether app that you downloaded last month will no longer work, as it will. But these tethering apps are still available to download via sideloading. …
