    So when we start receiving shipments??

    Got the dreaded order delayed, from Best Buy. I will be on the phone with them and screaming at someone tomorrow. Mine says the 12th thru the 14th, but if not seen by the 24th, my order will be cancelled. Wtf?

    Just contacted best buy, as mine still hasn't shipped. Told them if I don't get it tomorrow, I'll cancel and go to at&t. Never preorder from Best buy again.

    We're in the same boat. I'm going for hip replacement tomorrow, so it sucks if they show up and sit on my porch. Good luck for your husband's knee replacement.

    I did shipping from Best Buy, and mine still says wating for shipping info. Meanwhile, my coworker who got his from AT&T, got his on Friday. Last time I order from Best Buy.

    Who's Ordering The S26

    Got a s26 ultra coming from Best Buy. I got double the storage deal for the 512.

    Thanks for all of the replies. I also have AT-T. I actually found a coworker, who's wife has the 10 pro xl. He did a comparison, and the pixel was actually less on the dcmb, then what his s25 plus was. The pixel was steady around 98, 99, while the s25 plus was 101, 102ish. Between that, and you...

    Cell reception.

    I have a s23 ultra. Used to get great 4g lte, but when they switched to 5G, it drops and slows a bit. Not all the time, but enough to be annoying. Now at&t evidently blocks the setting on the phone, that lets it switch to 4g only. I have no idea why, but they do.

    Cell reception.

    Hello all, I am due for an upgrade and would love to try a pixel phone. I've read all the reviews, and know about the processor and such. The one thing that I don't see a lot about is signal strength. I've read that pixels use a Samsung modem (ironic) and Samsungs is a Qualcomm modem. Does...

    What is the proper "Preferred Network Type" for AT&T 4G and 5G?

    I got to the op's menu, and chose lte only. Phone has been working great for 2 days now. It a Samsung 23 ultra, AT&T branded. It seems to have solved my problem.

    What is the proper "Preferred Network Type" for AT&T 4G and 5G?

    I work construction, so I'm in a machine all day riding to different areas within a mile area. One side of the area I get 4G from one tower. I guess it hasn't been upgraded to 5g yet. In the main area, the phone grabs a tower across the Hudson river, that is 5G. 4 or 5 bars full signal, but the...

    Yes, LTE is much better in rural areas. Where I work, 5G is ok in the morning, but in the afternoon becomes unusable. If it happens to grab the LTE tower, the phone works fine. Yes it shows full bars for both, but the 5G is horrible. Guess I'll wait for 6G. lol

    iPhone 14 Pro Max to S23 Ultra... Anyone been brave enough this soon?

    I just made the move. For me, I just hated IOS. It was my first stab at an Iphone, and lasted about 3 months. I ran back to Samsung, and haven't regretted it for a minute.

    Does it make sense to get a s20+ today?

    I have an S20 plus and still love it. Don't get caught up in all the hype. Upgrades anymore, year after year are very minimal. In some ways, the S21 series is actually a downgrade from an S20 plus.
