Dometalican, 12 Nov 2024It's about time. Dish was not being optimal in getting this network up and running. I... moreBoost uses some weird frequencies like Band 70 for example. When they started you were forced to buy a phone from them because there simply weren't any BYOD options that supported all their bands. It looks like that's changed now, but I couldn't find anything on their website explicitly stating just which frequencies they use.

I wonder what 5G bands they use for my reference.

With only 64 gb storage and 4gb you can't really enjoy 5g speeds. The system will lag constantly and you'll find yourself in the need to delete content to make space for some apps.to work properly.

Even though you can't use 5G much because it's a low end phone, you can use it as a portable WiFi for your laptop and PC.

Great marketing move by self branding your phone in partnership with a manufacturer of smartphones and this has bwwn proven successful before!
Anyone remember the T-Mobile Sidekick how syccessful that was from v1, v1.2, to the VERY popular and funky SideKick 2 that had custom exclusives like
Dwayne Wade,
Juicy Couture,
Tatooo (California's greatest Tatoo artist for big Rap Stars!),
And the same Device that Paris Hilton owned and l3aked ALL of Hollywood's top actors' personal cellphone numbers.
I recall the laughs we had when MCHammercalled in to upgrade to the SK II.
Wecalled it the Ghetto BlackBerry but it was so much more fun and useful than the thencurrent BlackBerry 7290 "Blueberry" (all before the Storm, Pearl 8100,Curve 8300's byat least 5yrs.
T-Mobile's co-branded Sidekick was made by Danger, Inc. Which was started by Andy Ruben of the original 3 thatcreated Google!!

At that price we need 5G 150MBps, not like Telkomsel's 50MBps

Please come to Indonesia, we need cheap 5G internet network. Telkomsel's capitalism makes us slow in terms of technology.
