  • That phone claiming US/western hemisphere support is laughable.

    It supports T-Mobile native bands, but without more extensive band support, domestic roaming will not be the best. (Some LTEiRA markets T-Mobile can currently roam on Verizon thanks to the USCC acquisition, for example. No band 13, no go.)

    I’d not really claim it supports AT&T either. It’s missing band 14, 29, 30, 46, 48, n260, n261. It’s also not on AT&T’s list of supported phones: https://www.att.com/scmsassets/images/support/pdf/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf

    14 is basically the only way to get signal in markets where AT&T doesn’t have 5 or 12 licenses, like 2/3 of Nebraska.

    n260/n261 are big at venues, airports, etc. The lack of those mmWave bands will affect coverage in high-density locations on all three carriers.

    Even if it did support Verizon, without band 13 in the modem, Verizon’s low-band nationwide band, it’d be a mostly-brick.

    All three carriers require some kind of certification to be allowed on carrier networks (which alone should be illegal as they do it as a tactic to control the phone market.) Not just Verizon. (Verizon, at least, has a web site of certified devices: https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/device-showcase and it’s quite broad.)

    Ironically, it will probably work with Verizon, even the BlackBerry Key2 does without certification. It just falls back to a very basic profile for flip phones. They don’t tend to actively block phones like AT&T does.

    Basically, it’s a T-Mobile-on-network-only phone. Things are going greeeeeat over at that carrier right now with the tens of thousands of layoffs and forcing customer plan changes even on grandfathered plans.



  • Fixing the idiocy is great. Trying to justify abstaining from voting, which has directly led to killing so many humans, even just USAID alone led to 700,000+ deaths, mostly children, all over one president (which alone is dumb as anything, a president isn’t a king, they are just a figurehead that does stuff and takes blame) doing a policy decision based on historic engagement spanning almost a century is basically one-dimensional moronic.

    Justify your mistake all you want. The hard line is protecting as many people as possible and then targeting the rot when you’re able to. You don’t just let the rot live and hope you can somehow fix it afterwards with hopes and prayers.

    Those that thought they had power by not voting killed so many people with their concept of having power, without thinking of the bigger picture. The ripple effect is huge. Power grids, data centers, transportation, air travel, medicine, elder care, medical, insurance, vaccinations, communications, emergency preparedness, welfare in disaster zones (in the US), water, massive job layoffs, food safety, access to food, health and safety, inter-government agreements. Pick a dart and throw it, you can’t even trust lettuce anymore. All because some idiots didn’t care about their own lives and thought that using their vote in their country for some other far away land might make a difference even though it never would because they were hoping their decision for a leader in one country somehow would have any active effect in a corrupt nation on the other side of the planet that was always dead-set on genocide regardless of who the US puppet is. Instead, they were just unknowing pawns.

    It did make a difference. It destroyed everything. Kudos. RIP critical thinking times a thousand.
