Coming from Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Staying with Verizon as long as I keep unlimited data.

I am going to be coming from an iPhone 5. I have been with iPhone since the 3G and had every one to the 5. Despite all my investment in the Apple ecosystem, I have got to have a change. Apple has become seriously stale and with the difficulty that jailbreaking is becoming for ios, I have got to try something new and different. I love all I have read about this phone and what all it seems to offer. Can't wait to get it in hand and check it out.

Is this something that I need to pre-order by the way or should I be able to go in an ATT store on October 1 and pick it up?

You can probably go to an AT&T store and get one on the release date, as the iPhone seems to be the only phone that sells out on the first day.

Since you have the iPhone 5, are you eligible for an upgrade yet? Some AT&T reps are funny about selling newly released devices at the no-commitment price to customers.

from the S4.

buying note 3 unlocked.

Coming from the iOS line of devices owned the 3G model, then Apple screwed the 3G owners so I was looking around to find a new phone. Some friend was suggesting the note 2 and after some research I was settled on it but found out that there were only a couple of days until the unpacked event in Berlin........

Where are u located?

In Lynchburg, VA. The ONLY places that have LTE are Norfolk (large government contracting area/ports) and up near DC. Surprise surprise. Everywhere else in VA is pretty much non-existent. I think last I heard Richmond might be getting the switch but that's a long ways from here. And Lynchburg is a pretty large area with multiple, multiple colleges and a growing population. Even Charlottesville has nothing from Sprint and that's home to UVA and more. I'm just sick of getting maximum 300kb/s around here and good luck getting a signal going outside any major city. The places where I HAVE been able to get Sprint LTE as I travel have been lackluster at best. I'd be lucky to get 4-5 MB/s, let alone a stable signal. Maybe in a few years with the surge of money from Softbank they'll be doing better, but right now, I'd much prefer to pay a little more for data/service. I think even TMobile has 4G here in some areas. Sad.

Now if I was in a city with decent LTE coverage from Sprint, I don't think I could complain. But yea, as long as I'm living here - Sprint is definitely a price leader but their data speeds and coverage are in a sad state of affairs.

Check out s4gru.com. They have reliable LTE startup dates and progress.

Coming from a Motorola Photon on Sprint. I probably will be leaving sprint even though it has unlimited data, I have never even reached 2 GB. The question becomes AT&T or Verizon, I have heard bad things about Verizon in as much as they disable features and AT&T having problems with updates. What do you folks think?

I'm switching from an iPhone 5 like many others have stated. This will be my first Android and I'm really looking forward to it.

I was going to go with 4GB. Why did you use double, just because you can actually get a 4G signal with Verizon?

Coming from the note II.... IT will be my second android phone. .... ive been all apple since the 3Gs to the 5 and wanted a change

from my GALAXY NOTE II

 

[karsdroid]

As someone who purchased the thunderbolt on day one, I commend you for sticking with that phone for as long as you have. I waited anxiously for that phone but it wasn't long before it was a hot mess. Kudos to you and I'm sure you will love the N3.

Amen, i second that whole statement......

i wanted the note so badly when it came out, but boo to verizon who didn't pick it up. waiting for the note 2 was torture and i've really enjoyed every moment since the day my preorder came. i've already preordered the note 3 because they just keep getting better and better!
