Good to hear that that you won't be cut off. I use the 4G often for various apps and sometimes as internet access for my PC. 4G LTE is much better than my 4G WIMAX was. I upgraded from my S2 to an S5 which has more and better chips in it, including a better bluetooth spec and GSM also. The S5 is very much better at everything. I'm only doing regular stuff tho. Using a Samsung microSD card seems to have fixed the camera anomaly I had with Micro Center cards. _____ From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of gregrwm Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 12:52 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] t989 begging upgrade no bother actually. a bit of oogling says it looks like i'll lose 4g. that's it. and i've left 4g shutoff virtually always anyway. 3g is fine. so i won't even notice.

Non-phone should be fine, but Sprint cellular won't work except for phones with 4G LTE chips which the D710 doesn't have. Will other carriers still support WIMAX?
