Exactly. I need any device like this to be a phone first and Sammy has a lousy track record with their radios. So I'll just bounce between HTC and Motorola until Samsung takes connectivity seriously and makes some major improvements.
I also have an account on T-Mobile where I have the SGS2, The best radio in any phone I ever had. On average getting over 5 more MB download on that phone then all other 4 phones I own on T-Mobile. I have the MyTouch 4G, great phone, I own the G2 another great phone and the Nexus One, Classic. The SGS2 is the fastest and most stable of all these phones. T-Mobile in my area has very fast speeds. The tower is about a rocks throw from my house and I love it. .
Thank You T-Mobile
PS - Going to buy the T-Mobile SGS3. With this phone I will get sick speeds and not worry about battery issues. (LTE)
I currently have the HTC Rezound, this IMO has the best radios in all Verizon phones. I have the TBolt, Razr and the Rezound. The Rezound is at least 6 MB faster then any other LTE phone I have on Verizon, never drops of looses 4G. The Rezound just works. I usually root and flash a custom rom within the first 15 minutes of owning a new phone. The Rezound is so stable and fast right out of the box I have not yet rooted it. Going to wait until ICS drops and see what the new software does to this great phone. LTE in the Boston area is freaken fast, live in a suburb near Boston where on average during the day my DL speeds are usually over 24 MB down and 6 MB UP. During the off hours the speeds get allot faster. If I go around the corner from my house I can get speeds very close to 45 MB down and 15 up. Thank You Verizon Wireless.
I have two Carriers that I get great service from. Best of both worlds. Been with T-Mobile forever and joined Verizon right before their unlimited data plan had expired.
