LTE not available on LTE enabled network in Belgium (Belgacom)

You know folks,

If AAPL stock keeps dropping like it did the last 6 months, I'm sure they'll get a tiny bit more 'customer friendly' in the future;)

Cheers

I believe that's the result of a lack of innovation during the past years.

Even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak suggests that Microsoft is currently more innovative than Apple:

Funny to see people quoting a guy who hasn't innovated anything in decades on how innovating Apple is at the moment. The truth is that Woz doesn't know what the secret projects of Apple are. and if you look at the history of Apple you will see they don't innovate on a yearly basis not even on a 2 year basis. What are the innovations that Apple made in the last decade? A user friendly mp3 player, a user friendly smartphone and the first tablet that works. Just 3 innovations in 10 years and the last one was only 2 years ago.

Back on topic: I think it's a good thing that Apple forces carriers to deliver quality services to customers. Now we know what the real problem is: Belgacom has an inferior LTE network.

Sebastien,

So one can only judge about innovation when one innovates himself? That's a strange point of view.

Cheers

Did I say that? That's not what I said. I just say that you don't have to take those people all that serious.

I'm not taking you too serious either, Sebastien. No worries there.

Cheers

Phew! I was already afraid you would start quoting me.

Hi all. It seems there's an operator or two in this thread. Now that the cat's out of the bag regarding Apple testing LTE networks before activating it, does anybody want to share their experience of dealing with Apple? I've just got off the phone with one carrier who's having a tough time trying to get Apple to come test his LTE network. Does anybody know anything about the application process for this? Perhaps there's a queue?

We knew about Apple testing networks for some time, but all certified carriers have signed NDAs to not talk about it. We just had to wait for someone to break the NDA. So I'm wondering if there's any carriers out there that haven't yet signed such a contract but have already started discussions?

thanks.

KiltedTim, many people install beta software without being bound by a non-disclosure agreement, because they bought a UDID registration somewhere. So the only thing I would like to know, is if LTE works for Proximus with the latest beta or not. Also, there is nothing about "unreleased software" in the Apple Support Communities Use Agreement.

Those people do so illegally, and discussing it here is STILL a violation of the TOS. Don't believe it? Then why did the original post askin this question get deleted?

It is removed because Apple is applying communist practises on this matter. Please copy/paste the part the Apple Support Communities Use Agreement that says it's a violation.

=============================================================

There has been no announcement or public statement made by Apple regarding any unreleased version(s) of iOS.

iPhone is the product, iOS is the software on the product. iPhone 5 is not an unannounced product. Now go do something useful with your life.

Go debate the definition of "product" with someone who cares what you think. The fact is, discussing unreleased software here is forbidden and such discussions will be deleted by the moderators.

"Communist practices". Wow!! Truly spectacular ignorance!! You have no more clue about what communism is than you have insight into your grotesquely bloated sense on entitlement. Very entertaining!
