Don't take what I say as trolling, but I picked up my Gnex june of 2012, my last update months ago was to 4.2.1. No updates to address the security vulnerabilities discovered 6 months ago, no good communication from Sprint about support. AOSP support nonexistent. Part of the fault lays on Samsung but a large part also lays on Sprint. The Galaxy Nexus got neutered by Sprint and is Nexus in name only with them. That said, the Nexus S 4G had good support, so just saying that it's an iffy proposition to buy a Nexus device on Sprint and expect support in the long term.

i learned my lesson with the Sprint and Verizon Galaxy Nexus. if it is a special Sprint variant - it is not a true Nexus. AT&T GSM GoPhone here i come! Play Store Unlocked GSM version or bust!

why stay on contract with Sprint and pay extra for phone subsidies that you won't use? i want the freedom/price of GSM prepaid. i'm also tired of constant SMS/MMS problems with Sprint. i'm gone.

We could say that we'll give you an unlimited supply of shoes, but you can never take a vehicle where you want to go. You'll always get there and never be limited by anything but your speed.

You may be happy with Sprint, and honestly it could be good in your particular area, but most Sprint customers suffer from ridiculously slow speeds and poor customer service. You'd have to see where you rank with rootmetrics.

FYI, wasn't really talking about coverage but more data speeds. Rootmetrics in June tested Orlando and showed Sprint dead last out of the big four. Just saying, having coverage is pretty easy nowadays, it's quality of service that's a bigger issue.

what Sprint plan is that? show me the math.

It's the new sprint unlimited my way plans that launched a month or so ago.

It's $50 for unlimited talk/text + $30 for unlimited data. If she has a discount (25%) then it can drop it down or if she's on a family plan then it can easy to hit the $50. I have a 25% employee discount I got from being friends with a manager, so it's not difficult to get discounts (though the 25% in her case still wouldn't get it low enough to be $50, it would have to be a different circumstance.

as i said - there's no Sprint $50 unlimited everything plan. even after discounts.

I live in Orlando, I don't know where Jocelyn lives but while there is 4G in a decent amount of Orlando, for the most part it is still pretty damn slow (while better than 3G which was SLOWER than 56k) and even then it is spotty.

Sprint in Orlando is terrible, IMO. The only city I've used Sprint and found it to be half decent was in Atlanta... even then, with the terrible and inconsistent customer service I will take my business elsewhere ASAP.

I'm in Azalea Park, work nearby, and my 4G has been fantastic since moving here.

Edit - Sprint was horrible in the last three places I lived over the past few years lol
