When i called AT&T this am and he was like, yeah, we got 'em, i was like, "whaaaaa? That was wayyyyy tooo easy,i'll prolly hate the phone.... " Um, noooooooooo, i sure don't "hate it"! Spent approx 30 seconds with it before i was like, "wrap it up, i'll take it!"....
First off, i thought i was "soooo over WHITE phones" and would get the black one... Well, the black one was so bland, and because of the dots, it didn't really look black, more like a greyish/bronze shade, PLUS fingerprints showed BIG TIME. The white was much cleaner and sharper looking and has a kinda bright white pearly hue, so i got the white one : ) Am loving the color decision i made.
i will say i have been putting it thru its paces and i have found ONLY 2 niggles. (And i been a-lookin'...lol)
The phone gets HOT, and i don't mean just warm... and i wasn't really doing a thing.... it was driving me crazy, so i researched how to turn off LTE since there's no toggle for it to see if thats the reason (where i am LTE is spotty) and i found an article that showed how to set up an AT&T APN that used 3G signal ONLY so i have done that and i think its making a world of diff where heat is concerned, however, not sure how i feel about only 4MBPS vs the 13-16 with it on... I was able to save BOTH and can switch my APN's when i need/want 4G so we'll see how that goes...)
2nd blip is the phone stutters. Not the super smooth experience Jellybean initially delivered, but the stutters are very very slight, only during some actions, but hard core Androidians will notice, regular folks will not, for me, i THINK i can live with it, as this phone is perfect asides from those TWO things....
There is NOT even one area that they did NOT improve, it is an upgrade on every single front and i don't care who disagrees : ) But before you do, plz keep this in mind: Its one thing to observe it from your easy chair watching a review or even toy with it for a couple of seconds when its on that funky spiral lock thingey @ the store, but its a wholeeeeeeeeeee 'nother thing to go hands on it with it, personalizing it, using the buttons, the camera, experiencing the ease of how it performs each function, the feel of it, the crispness of it, the sound of it, the design of it, ETC ETC ETC!!!
I didn't want to sound like a Sammy Girl but what the h*ll?! i yam! :-*
(Sorry, i know i already posted my screenshot BUT not everyone reads that sticky and this lockscreen ROCKS!)
