I just checked the map. A few days ago when I was getting a new datacard, no 3g was showing up around Lubbock. Now I see a couple of towers with 3G and around Amarillo too! Here it comes officially! FINALLY!
After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.
That's great. My Sprint store can order them, but won't carry them for a few months. My current contract on my data card is up this time next year. Hopefully by then the St. Louis area and points northwest will have 4G. Keep us posted on how it works for you this season.
On a side note, I can get a new phone in a couple of weeks and CAN'T WAIT! No more Blackberry browser or memory leaking operating system! Palm Pre here I come.
Not to derail the conversation but Kevin, I own a Palm Pre. Don't get excited about it. It's pretty crappy actually. Perhaps at some time, Palm will pull things together but after using an iPhone, I feel like I'm carrying around a Sprint "turd" in my pocket. Reception is great and I've never had a problem with Sprint per se, it's the programming and speed of the thing.
I stopped in to my house during a lunch break and was going to hit the head. I laid the phone down across the room and did my business. As I got up, I heard ringing and got to the phone as I got someone's voicemail. It dialed by itself just sitting on the counter.
There are sometimes big pauses when you select something on the screen and actually have it happen... I can just be holding the phone and it decides that I've pressed a key... It's just a mess.
Like I said.. Maybe they'll fix all of this but they sure haven't yet. I wish I had my Treo 650 back at this rate...
