At least they haven't put their logo again on the home button, so I am happy. :) Verizon was the ONLY carrier to put their logo on the home button of the GNII. > : ( I think that also accounted for it coming out one month after the other U.S carrier variants. This time, VZW is releasing...

The easy rule is that if a phone doesn't have a Sprint logo on it, it will simply not work on Sprint, and the same goes for Verizon, both being CDMA vs. GSM carriers. :(

But do keep in mind there are many different frequencies and bands of LTE used all around the world. I can understand how it would confuse 99% of all customers out there. For instance, Verizon and ATT use 700 mhz and Sprint and T-Mobile use higher frequencies. Even though Verizon and ATT use 700...

The process is called an AOL (Assumption of Liability). The unlimited data is tied to the phone number so if you sell your line to someone who wants your unlimited data, he will also get your phone number.

Why would those data hogs with unlimited LTE on Verizon go to Sprint's unlimited LTE? Its a sideways upgrade at best. They will really only attract those on tiered data plans on the other carriers instead or 3G Sprint users. As the 3G Sprint users migrate to their LTE network, that will increase...

From what I have heard, the only devices that can show HD Netflix on mobile devices are ones with Texas Intruments chipsets and processors, like those used in Motorola phones like the RAZR, Bionic, etc. I'm hearing the other chipsets like Qualcomm, Nvidia's Tegra, Samsung's Exonos, etc. aren't...

I could sure use one, thanks! ;)

I've used extremely high amounts of data with my Verizon unlimited 4G phone for almost a year and have never had any problems with Verizon.

Personally, I'd go for the Note as I'd like the wider resolution especially for watching content on NetFlix which I frequently do. Unfortunately, neither are currently slated for Verizon so as a CDMA customer, I'm out of luck with both. I hope the rumors that the Note coming to Verizon as the...

And Verizon currently does not throttle their grandfathered unlimited users, at least not their LTE ones. I know as a current customer and have used extremely high amounts of data month-per-month and my speeds have been untouched. Its a shame that ATT is throttling their unlimited data...

20gb a month is absolutely nothing. :D

I only have pixelation rarely, probably when the signal is a bit iffy but then it clears up quickly and lasts for most of the viewing. That's not an issue for me. However, all the content I've watched seems to be in SD resolution. I've heard the stock Netflix app on the Market isn't HD capable...

Verizon certainly will fight tooth and nail to prevent you from leaving without paying your ETF, no matter what materially adverse changes they make to our contracts. Its with all these carriers really. They know how much we "need" our phones and will push us as far as they can without reaching...

SMS messages always go through the carrier's network, never through wi-fi. So if there is poor signal in an area, you'd be out of luck unfortunately. As mentioned before, you can use third party services to text people. Keep in mind, that those would have different phone numbers, not the phone...

Yes, all the carriers are now moving towards micro-sim cards vs. regular sized sims. Verizon's newer 4G devices like the Stratosphere use the micro-sim. If you have a regular sim, you can cut it down to fit in the newer devices. I also believe you can buy an adaptor to put a micro-sim into...
