Samsung Galaxy S III coming to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular this month

Samsung Galaxy S III coming to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular this month

Posted on Jun 04, 2012 by MG1

Official is as official does... right? In a bid to one-up the Galaxy S II's launch here in the States, Samsung has just announced that five carriers will soon have their own customized versions of the Galaxy S III. And by "soon," we mean "beginning in June." AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular are all in line to take part, with exact pricing and availability to be announced by each of the five carriers in the coming weeks. We are, however, told to expect on-contract prices as low as $199, and it sounds as if all five variants will keep the same 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display.

Sprint confirms EVO 4G LTE phones will hit stores in the next few days

Sprint confirms EVO 4G LTE phones will hit stores in the next few days

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

Sprint has great news for those of you out there salivating to get your hands on the latest EVO, who didn’t get a chance to pre-order. Many of you know that all HTC One US variants have been held up at customs due to some Apple infringements. Thankfully, last week devices finally starting getting through customs. This allowed for the fourth largest wireless provider in the United States to begin shipping out handsets to customers who pre-ordered devices before the whole customs problem.

Sprint discontinues Nexus S 4G

Sprint discontinues Nexus S 4G

Posted on May 28, 2012 by MG3

Sprint has officially discontinued sales of the Nexus S 4G, we've learned. The recent release of the Galaxy Nexus would be the obvious reason for the move, though some Sprint customers (and Android fans) may still mourn the passing of its predecessor — we've heard many smartphone users say they prefer the 4-inch form factor, and the recent upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich kept it as relevant as ever.

LG LS860 leaked: a five-row QWERTY sliding smartphone with Sprint LTE?

LG LS860 leaked: a five-row QWERTY sliding smartphone with Sprint LTE?

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

BriefMobile's tipster has done it again, bringing us another leaked image of a rumored high-end LG smartphone. This time, however, the handset's claim to fame isn't a quad-core processor or a 13-megapixel camera: rather, the LG LS860 "Cayenne" allegedly has the neatly staggered five-row QWERTY keyboard, 4-inch IPS screen, and 1.2GHz dual-core processor it needs to be a competent Droid 4 competitor. While we wouldn't dream of suggesting that the supposed Sprint LTE smartphone might succeed without even seeing the device in the flesh, we sure hope BriefMobile is right that the slider will come with Android 4.0 right from the beginning. After all, Motorola's Droid 4 won't see an Ice Cream Sandw...

Sprint sells 1.5 million iPhones in Q1, cuts net losses to $863 million

Sprint sells 1.5 million iPhones in Q1, cuts net losses to $863 million

Posted on Apr 26, 2012 by MG3

Sprint managed to cut its net losses to $863 million last quarter, while adding more than 1.1 million new customers to its network. It highlights the iPhone as a big seller: having sold 1.8 million of the devices in Q4 last year, it shifted a further 1.5 million in Q1 2012, 44 percent of which were to new customers. The company has also seen growth in postpaid customers — a net growth of 263,000 in the network last quarter alone, with each spending an average of $4.03 more than last year. The resulting Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of $59.88 is a new record for Sprint, improving on last quarter, which set the previous high mark.

Sprint confirms unlimited data plan for next iPhone

Sprint confirms unlimited data plan for next iPhone

Posted on Apr 26, 2012 by MG3

Sprint, the nation’s third largest wireless carrier, is the only major wireless provider that continues to offer unlimited smartphone data plans. When its network finally landed Apple’s iPhone, many people feared unlimited data would be heading out the door. Sprint continued to offer the plans, however, and will continue to do so even after its 4G LTE network goes live later this year and once it launches Apple’s next-generation iPhone. ”I’m not anticipating the unlimited plan would change by that point,” Sprint CEO Dan Hesse told CNET. “That’s our distinctive differentiator.”

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE heading to Sprint?

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE heading to Sprint?

Posted on Apr 25, 2012 by MG3

It looks like Sprint and Motorola are working on the successor of Photon 4G, which as far as we’re hearing will be called Photon Q 4G LTE. Yep it will run on Sprint’s soon-to-be-launched LTE network and aside from the new radio, it will also sport a 720p HD screen and perhaps a quad-core processor. The last thing is just a speculation on my end, though when you think about it with all other major handset makers set to announce a quad-core device (some of them already have such product – HTC One X), Moto should do something about it and prepare its answer…

Samsung Galaxy Nexus lands on Sprint

Samsung Galaxy Nexus lands on Sprint

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

Samsung's popular Galaxy Nexus finally landed on Sprint, though not without complications.
The Galaxy Nexus is currently the flagship device for Google's Android 4.0 OS, or Ice Cream Sandwich, which we called "savvy, futuristic and both competent and confident."
The Sprint version doesn't bring too many new features to the table. And, those hoping to take advantage of the phone's fast 4G LTE network capabilities will have to wait a while.

Google Galaxy Nexus, LG Viper 4G LTE smartphones available from Sprint today

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Sprint's first 4G LTE smartphones, the Google Galaxy Nexus and the LG Viper 4G LTE, will be available for purchase online and in stores today. Unfortunately, buyers won't be able to take advantage of the devices' 4G LTE capabilities until Sprint launches its own LTE network later this year.
The Galaxy Nexus offered by Sprint is the same model as offered by Verizon Wireless, and it features a 4.65-inch, 720p (720 x 1280 pixel) Super AMOLED display and 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It runs a stock version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and has a 5 megapixel camera with zero shutter lag.

HTC EVO 3D retired from Sprint’s lineup

HTC EVO 3D retired from Sprint’s lineup

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

While we mentioned the other day that the HTC EVO 3D was part of Amazon’s penny sale until the end of the month, it looks like glasses-free 3D handset has gone missing elsewhere – Sprint’s website.
It makes sense considering the EVO 4G LTE’s debut is just around the corner, but it is interesting that it was just here one day, gone the next. The folk over at Android Police reached out to Sprint to find out what happened to the Android device. Sprint responded by saying,

Sprint begins employee training for Galaxy Nexus, launch looks imminent

Sprint begins employee training for Galaxy Nexus, launch looks imminent

Posted on Apr 04, 2012 by MG3

First it appeared in a slipped ad, and then on The Engadget Show during CES. More recently, Sprint's variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was spotted coasting through the FCC, and now it's practically a lock to launch between three and six weeks from now. We've received word that Sprint has initiated employee training specifically for the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0, which will enlighten staff on the benefits of the handset, ICS and Google Wallet. Those involved with the training have to wrap things up within the next fortnight, leading us to believe that it'll make its way into retail outlets in late April or early May. In related news, the coursework also makes mention of enabling LTE on a...

Sprint Galaxy Nexus specs leak, no bump in processor speed

Sprint Galaxy Nexus specs leak, no bump in processor speed

Posted on Apr 04, 2012 by MG3

Before a new smartphone is launched, a carrier must first make sure that its employees are well familiar with the device. Same is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which Sprint is expected to release later this month: tipsters say that the carrier is already running training sessions with its personnel. And what a great opportunity for some insider intelligence to leak on the web, don't you think?
