I just ordered two, and they will be here next Friday.  The whole process took like 5 minutes in between work and bbsing.  If they do arrive next Friday, I will say Sprint really rough ridin' nailed this one.

the question is if Samsung and HTC can file their patent infringement lawsuit and injunction fast enough.

[Stupid Fitz]

Ordered mine from Apple site at 6am and have to wait 2 weeks. The nerds got up real early this time. Oh wells.

I didn't order mine from sprint until about 10AM this morning and it'll be here friday.

Yeah but, then you have to use Sprint. Jk, I am sure they are just as good/terrible as AT&T.

Better plans than ATT but you cant fracking talk and data at the same time on Sprint, unlike ATT.

I am still rocking unlimited data on a grandfathered family plan. Still pretty good deal, way faster 3G, and while you losers have to hang up on your moms to surf, I'll be chatting away watching cat YouTube videos like a boss.

it won't matter.  apple has +400 4G LTE patents, of the ~3,000 of them.  samsung has 800.  this is just posturing on samsung's part.

I can talk and data at the same time on my s3, and my kit_mit_bro can on his evo4glte.
I'm sure the 5 will be able to do it.

How does the Sprint International data plan work?  I don't want voice or text, just data. can I shut off the other two so I'm not receiving any texts?

I can on my old EVO 4G too. What I am telling you is, you will NOT be able to on your Sprint iPhone5.

Oh, well, sucks to be those guys. I think I've used it once when not on Wi-Fi, and that was just too see if I could.  I think I'll stick with android phones and get the iPad mini.

Sprint most likely has an agreement with international carriers to let you use their network. I haven't looked it up, but I doubt you can turn off voice and texts.

I'm somewhat excited for the Lumia 920. On paper it looks like a good phone, and I'm curious if Windows Phone 8 has grown up yet or not.

I honestly do not know, but I went with AT&T because my company said I wouldn't want Sprint for international travel. Either way, it is no big deal. You can always buy a phone and a plan when you get there for like $150 bucks. I know others that have done that. They have Orange stores on every corner.

you can't do that.  a good option would be to just buy a sim card in london at a phone store and have them put it  in for you.

[steve dave]

you can do that with an iphone?

[Mikeyis4dcats]

you can do that with any compatible phone with a sim card.

[pissclams]

ya.  they have to do it for you.  iphone 4s uses micro sim and requires a special tool.  should only take a 15 minute stop in a phone shop over there as opposed to using the sprint international data plan b/c it's very expensive.  flip side is that you will have a new number so if anyone tries to dial your us #, it won't go through.  flip side is then you just switch back to your old sim card when you come back.  flip side is that's kind of a PITA.  flip side is you save a lot of money.  best flip side is to just use free wifi from coffee shops etc and not screw with international data b/c too $$.  flip side is that you'll be way more elite than jokers who do the sim switch.

[slobber]

Forget my other answer, missed the "only want data" part.
Most of the iphones here in the US have the sim card all locked up. There is no way to remove it. Who is your carrier on your ipad? I buy a $30 international plan from AT&T for my ipad each time I go. It is good for a month.

don't be a complete idiot.  this issue has been addressed by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

i will give dobbs the benefit of the doubt and just chalk this up to "this is part of his shtick"

[PowercatPat]

<-- hemmy waiting on the Lumia 920 launch.

well, that makes one of you in the entire world

Its a better phone than the iphone 5

Why do you hate Apple so much?

the specs are just as good, if not better in some areas. But will the overall experience be better than Apple? doubt it.

Was not a shtick, so I guess I am a complete idiot.

I can tell you that you may struggle to find a 'phone shop' that is willing to open up your phone and replace the SIM card. But I am sure that clams knows what he is talking about, so I wouldn't worry about it.

[steve dave]

dobber, what's the London/Paris free wifi situation like?

[slobber]

I am not the best person to ask. My travel is almost all business while I am there. So I am just at our offices or at the hotel when I am using the internet.

From what I know, Paris is pretty good for wifi and London is not as good as Paris. Again, that is based on limited personal experience. Maybe someone else has taken some holidays to EU and can answer that question far better than me.

Sorry I can't be of more help. You know nothing would please me more than to be able to offer elite advice with regards to EU travel.
