Same here, just repeating the info I have read.

Maybe it's a Rev. A area and that's why you got higher than usual speeds. However, the speeds are still limited to Rev. 0 since the HTC Titan is not enabled for Rev. A yet.

I might be wrong, not an expert on sprint financials, but if they follow a standard fiscal year, then November 1st, 2007 would be the start of Q1 2008 for sprint.

Well then we'd have to guess if they meant their fiscal year or the calendar year.

I'm not sure where that notion came from, but it's not true. Most companies use the standard calendar year as their fiscal year. There are some that don't, but there's no particular rule as to what year they do use. Some begin in July, some in other months. I've never heard of one starting in November, but I'm sure there must be one or two out there that do. In any event, it's certainly not a standard.

And even if Sprint did use a non-standard fiscal year, they wouldn't use those dates to talk about this kind of topic. For our purposes, Q108 starts in January.

I would have to agree with Gilliland. I would not guarantee that their fiscal year is definitely in sync with our calendar year. However, by definition the fiscal year is just an "accounting year." It can correspond to the calendar year or be something like, July 1 to June 30, as many government entities have it.

I work for one o those wierd companies w/ a firscal year that doesnt match.. Let me assure you, we are VERY consistent about our references to quarters with the public, an d just as consistent with internal comunications.

Term fiscal year == Jan to Dec.
Corp Fiscal year == Mar-Feb
Our Fiscal year == Mar-Feb
our wierd fiscal year == Mar-Feb { other adjectives to apply}

We are very particular with this cause it avoids unbelievable complications. Without some adjective connecting it to corporate, all references to quarters/years are reference to the standard jan-dec calendar.

wait a sec... so i have to have the original rom to get the update, huh? if it's true, then i might as well have to revert back to 2.09 radio ver. 1.32 without a problem then. i dunno mang, i'm an idiot... lol.

the hardware-disabled gps is just speculation.. someone tore their mogul apart and didn't see an internal antenna, negating the fact that we have no idea wheat a "built in antenna" on qualcomm 7500 looks like.

I am, however, expecting agps, which is pretty much useless.

You do know that you don't really need to know anyone from Sprint in order to get a SERO plan right?
