    Galaxy S5 has the storage problem the Galaxy S4 had

    They will offer a 32GB version. Expect to pay 80 to 100 dollars more for it. Think of the revenues generated the adding <10 dollars to the cost of the 32GB device. 70 dollars * millions = big bonuses .

    connecting sprint phone to verizon 4g

    From experience only. Running network monitor to see the tower in use. If I am in an area of very poor sprint coverage, then I will see Cricket and Verizon LTE tower associations. I get mediocre connect speeds, meaning I am not sure if it is decent 3g or slow 4g. Root not required. Threads...

    This is no surprise. Bears seem to use sense of smell first, vision second. ;)

    Which do you prefer Blue or White S3????

    The white's light bleed is annoying. Example is a red notification light has a very girly pink halo. A pink halo you see the whole time the phone charges. Light bleeds at the menu and back button, again producing a halo not present on the blue phone. The home button does look purple under...

    Why don't people like HTC anymore?

    Not HTC probably is where we will go. People shouldn't give a flip about android design guidelines precluding micro SD storage. Manufactures ought to wholly care about driving people away from their brand.

    Why don't people like HTC anymore?

    It is a fantastic phone without a removable battery and removable storage. Removable storage and replaceable battery are issues. Either of which are show stoppers for some and is 100.0% of the time if I were the only study in the sample.

    any complaints about the white case?

    Light bleed is the issue with the white. Light bleeds from the LED notification light. Red charging LED has a large pink halo. All other colors bleed equally. Light bleeds from the LED menu and back capacitive buttons. Both buttons have sizable halos. The above is not true of the blue S3.

    Early LTE in KC???

    I've seen the icon a few times, but the icon is very short lived. Only connect S of I-435. Saw the 4G icon first on 6 July, and logged in over the weekend sprint shows I had used a small amount of 4G data. Saw 4G briefly this evening. Entertaining to see 4G connections, and [recently] super...

    Which Launcher?

    Have always used the stock whatever came with the phone then switched to ADW A hero then the original LG optimus and now a Siii. I have used ADW about 2.5 years and clearly like it. I find ADW very customizable and it is free to use. Will have to give Nova a look given the positive comments.

    Any Ex Sprint Customers Here?

    No to every point I made? I see you've gone flaccid for Sprint, and so have your arguments. No carrier has "4g" everywhere. Study the maps from the previous post.
