    Sprint: WiMAX -> LTE ?

    I don't know where you live, but 4G tech doesn't get near DOCSIS 3.0 speeds. Sure, the theoretical limits are there, but you don't/won't get anywhere near those speeds in a real world environment. Plus, I have direct access to a Tier 3 backbone, so I have an essentially unlimited...

    Sprint: WiMAX -> LTE ?

    Analysts have been predicting Sprint's failure for 2 decades now. The fact is they aren't going anywhere. They have been around for over a century, and have always found some way to turn things profitable again. They own a large wireless structure and own significant portions of the...

    Sprint: WiMAX -> LTE ?

    Perhaps you didn't understand that post. Neither Sprint nor Clear has the money to make LTE happen. If they spend the money, then they will have to default on existing debts. As a result, Sprint's only option is to sign a contract with someone. Think of it this way: you are an...

    What carrier/phone were you using 2 years ago? What are you using now?

    Since Sprint has a roaming contract with Verizon, the above makes no sense. When you don't have Sprint coverage, you default to Verizon.

    Anyone picking up the Archos 80 G9?

    When the model with the 500GB HDD comes out... I just want to have all my content on the go. Then I would only have to worry about tethering to my Evo when I'm bored someplace and want the Internet on a larger screen. But that form factor is perfect.

    What carrier/phone were you using 2 years ago? What are you using now?

    Samsung Blackjack II on ShiT&T --------> HTC Evo 4G on Sprint (and loving every minute of it)

    Sprint: WiMAX -> LTE ?

    Okay, this is a long post, but should adequately answer all your questions. All this really stems from large WiMAX operators such as Russian’s Yota or Japan’s KDDI switching from WiMAX to LTE networks. This essentially means that the universe of possible WiMAX-gear-buying customers...

    New SSD/HDD/RAM?

    Alright, so what do ya'll have to say on the mSATA drives? I would really like to go with a reputable retailer, because I want to be able to return the device if there is an issue. There is almost nothing to be said on this (that I have heard).

    New SSD/HDD/RAM?

    ^That's what sparked today's discussion. :) And why is everybody down on OCZ as of late? I've been under the impression that OCZ makes some great hardware.

    New SSD/HDD/RAM?

    The $$$ is there, but it isn't there ya know? :D Means, I'd rather not spend it. I'm just hesitant to jump on a Barefoot controller. And really, my question is that would the extra RAM really be noticable, especially if I upgrade to an SSD. What about a different SSD brand/type? Would I...

    New SSD/HDD/RAM?

    Alright, got 3 laptops that I'm contemplating upgrading. Thing is that I'm not sure if I should, and I wanted to hear what you guys have to say. What's your take on the Vertex Plus? I can't seem to find any reviews besides Anand's. The prices on those are really sweet. $50 for the 60GB and...

    460 vs 560?

    Well, because I won't be able to run most games at playable rates @ 1080p, I think that a 768 will suffice. Saving $ is nice too, especially with that awesome deal you caught my attention to. :) Since I have the same computer (just with a tablet screen) and slightly upgraded CPU as one of the...

    460 vs 560?

    Performance increases with a better card, irregardless of link speed. The greater the resolution, the greater the reliance on link bandwidth. For example, playing a game at 1200x800 with a 9800 GT on a x1 or a x16 PCIe connection would perform the same (given that the other components are the...
