Sprint too has officially confirmed that its going to offer the Samsung Galaxy S5. The carrier will release Samsung’s 2014 flagship on April 11th, the day it hits shelves in over 100 countries around the globe. Sprint Galaxy S5 pre-orders are already underway, though there is a slight caveat. To pre-order or “reserve” their Galaxy S5, customers have to visit a Sprint Store, apparently they can’t do it online. As soon as the device becomes available, customers who have reserved their units will be contacted by the carrier.

Our world does seem to be obsessed with breaking records every single day, and when it comes to data speeds of your mobile or Internet line, you can be sure that forums and message boards alike will light up with different parties pointing out just why you ought to take their side. According to Strategy Analytics, a report that was issued by the research firm claimed that mobile carriers seem to be moving away from network coverage and tend to focus more on the speed of their data pipelines. Guang Yang, Strategy Analytics’ senior analyst for wireless networks and platforms, claimed that the TDD spectrum in the 2.5GHz band which Sprint acquired from Clearwire in 2013 could very well hold the key to enable Sprint to offer its customers with “super high speed data connections.”

On paper, T-Mobile may be one of the fastest growing mobile carriers in the U.S. It has taken few bold steps last year to poach subscribers from rival carriers. T-Mobile also spent the better part of 2013 improving its nationwide LTE network. To commemorate the first anniversary of the launch of its 4G LTE network, the carrier has promised that it is going to upgrade the existing 2G/EDGE network to 4G LTE.

The entire idea behind a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile is to compete much more effectively against Verizon and AT&T. At least that’s the case the folks at Sprint and Softbank are trying to make. Regulators might not be so easily convinced. AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile US for itself back in 2011 for $39 billion but was shot down by regulators. The company’s CFO John Stephens is skeptical about the merger, he “doesn’t think” that its going to go through.

There has been significant growth and development in the U.S. mobile market, but Sprint Chairman Masayoshi Son is not impressed. Sprint, owned by Softbank, is the third largest mobile operator in the country. Son holds the view that 4G networks in the country are “horrible.” He isn’t afraid to look in the mirror, “of course, Sprint is horrible,” Son says. Though he believes that he can fix it if given the opportunity.

The government taps phones. That is not a secret. In fact it is well known since phone taps can be used to help incriminate suspects in criminal activities, as well as keep an ear open for any possible threats. In order to perform these wire taps, the government will need the cooperation of carriers, and in return the carriers are then reimbursed for their efforts.
However it seems that the US Justice Department is not too happy with Sprint’s bill of $21 million, which they claim to have been overcharged, and in return they are now suing Sprint because of it. They claim that Sprint had secretly included the expense of financing equipment from January 2007 to July 2010, which might explain the hefty bill. (more…)

Earlier at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, we saw the unveiling of two brand new Android-powered phones that will occupy the mid-range category, where the two of them will sport LTE 4G connectivity. Known as the LG F70 and the LG F90, the latter was shown off as a Sprint model, where it carried a far more interesting name of Volt compared to the model number alone. Just what kind of hardware specifications does the LG F90 aka Volt bring to the table? We are looking at a 4.7” qHD display, an 8-megapixel shooter at the back, a Snapdragon 400 processor, NFC support, a removable 3,000 mAh battery, tri-band LTE (Sprint Spark,) IR remote control, and a memory card slot for expansion purposes.
