I picked up this phone last Friday from Walmart for $129.99. Some background: I'm on T-mobile and have been trying a crapton of recent cheap devices to find one that was even half decent, so in the past couple months I've tried the LG Leon, LG G Stylo, HTC Desire 626s, Galaxy Grand Prime, Moto G...

For some reason atlantic city isn't being included in the 4g expansion just yet. Verizon did promise to cover a ton of people this year and large areas though, so they are probably working on expanding that coverage blip to something huge and then officially announcing it, maybe in april or may...

I would very much like to keep my unlimited data. However coming around this september, 3 of the 4 lines on my family plan will have data, and I'm the only one with unlimited and likely the only one who would want to keep it. However I'm not sure how much data my mom or sister would even use...

Thanks pingplayer01, I had been wondering about this myself. Graduating from college in a couple months, not planning on going off the family plan anytime soon as it's only $30 a month for me total, but always wondered if it would be possible to keep unlimited data if I wanted to break off from...

No one got it yesterday, no one has it yet today as far as I can tell. Right now it is just a waiting game, but that 6/15 date thing was wrong. Even if it is being rolled out in groups, it is pretty much inconceivable that not one person who got it yesterday would have posted online about it...

If my 3G coverage got the 1mbps minimum that many people seem to get or a more common 1.5-2.5mbps then yes I'd say 3g is fine, but since I get much much slower speeds, sometimes only a few hundred kbps and speeds are erratic for me, I can honestly say 3g isn't nearly fast enough. I don't want to...

I was sort of excited about it, and I'm still looking forward to it, but overall what I am truly looing forward to is a whole overhaul to the look of android to make it more polished and ideally adding more features and speed improvements and gpu ui acceleration and what not. I imagine all of...

If you are happy with sprint then stick with them. I would say that verizon stays in business for 2 huge reasons. 1) Their speeds are generally better, and with their 4G network rolling out faster than sprint and on 700mhz vs 2500mhz they have nowhere to go but up with service. 2)Many people...

Really, you don't seem to grasp that verizon is in a contract with the fcc, this contract has terms, one of the terms is network management, it was the term you used that you claim they can use as a loophole, however the definition of network management is already fully and clearly defined...

That loophole isn't really a loophole, as was explained on howardforums "Here, the FCC defines in-line what they mean with respect to network management; namely, by reasonable network management, the FCC means ensuring no harm is caused to the network. Also, (1) the FCC has specifically said...

Very possible.

The FCC was appointed the duty to sell/auction off the 700mhz spectrum which was recently freed up, who's to say that the sale didn't come with a legally binding contract to which all buyers including verizon are legally expected to uphold? Sure it might not be a LAW that they have to do it, but...

The person on HoFo did say that they could potentially block the app from all 3g only devices though, all of these restrictions are only set on the 4g network. Also I see some contradictory language in the legal wording sort of. It says that Verizon can't block any apps simply because they would...

Um, call me crazy or stupid, but is there a single tethering app out there that isn't the currently free to use til may 15th one that supports 4g? If there is, does it have 0 support for 3g? I ask because the thing says that 4g network access cannot be hindered, the 700 mhz spectrum, but all...

Don't forget the droid 3 though, it is at least rumored to be stock and if moto and verizon both agree to unlocked bootloaders it might just be easy to toy with too, just droid the og droid. Granted these are just rumors, but still, all hope hasn't been lost yet. Stock is still a unique android...
