Who is sticking around?

[kakapopo]

i will stay here until I find a evo 3D and flash it to vm. I only have 20$ to my name right now and am a graduating highschool student. Planning on getting a job this summer and save up for an evo 3D and for college even though its all payed for already. I should be here for at least the whole summer

Keeping the ov and its $25 plan.

i'd stick around if the 3g wasn't so slow lately I am considering just switching to T-Mobile on their $30 plan because I get 4g plus 2x the data before they throttle me and it is a GSM network which means I don't have to mess with risky programming just to switch to a different carrier. I'd stick with Virgin Mobile if the 4g phone wasn't $300 with T-Mobile I can get a decent used 4g GSM phone for pretty cheap.

The 3G will probably speed up if you are in an area where 4G is available. Reason why is because they are aggressively moving folks off 3G and onto 4G If there is no WiMAX now and LTE isn't coming soon then, yeah, it's probably time to jump.

I'm going to try to hold off until Black Friday.

I'm not going anywhere, I love my 1st generation OV. I have a total of 4 in my home and I am the ROM flasher and tweaker of all of them. I certainly don't have $1200 to upgrade all of them either. Besides, I love this community

 

[wentzville]

Jumping ship.

 

[poweredge99]

I'm staying. I got 4 of these bad boy V's and imma run until they are dust. Unless VM does something crazy.

With developers like LeslieAnn and others you can count on there being plenty of life in this device for time to come

As long as my monthly bill is $25 they will have to pry the OV from my cold dead hands.

4g is just being rolled out from sprint most report 1-2 bars.

I really want to purchase the Gnex and use it on Tmobile, but the $25 Vmobile plan with the trusty OV is just too damn amazing. I'll try to hold out for several more months.

 

[bigfamily]

I want to stay but the phone keeps crapping out on me. Hopefully I can find some help in the threads

still on the fence. even after the official word on new phones. i like the new devices. its the plans i dont like. i not only use my device for net,but for talking. to be sure,more than 300 lousy minutes a month. at $25,$35 there needs to be at least 400 minutes. vm/sprint has decided that their users want the phones for primarily data use and rarely any talk..at least on the two low and mid level price plans. so that only leaves you with one real option $55 a month for both. not a deal in my opinion. and as ive stated before. straight talk has androids,data,text and talk all for $45 a month. its not just a savings to me. its a $10 dollar savings. and in a super tight economy with high prices every where you look..$10 is a lot to think about. and some would say,well straight talk does this and that on the data end..well vm does also. thats no plus versus straight talk. and some would say well vm does offer better talk plans....on their paylo devices..sure they do...and two cans and a string arent my idea of a decent phone either..nor are those paylo devices. the thing with sprint taking over vm is they split everything into two categories. paylo with **** phones and beyond talk (they should call it NOTALK) with a emphasis on mainly data use. those arent options. i like virgin mobile..just not the sprint virgin mobile.

I already left it a while ago. But I'm definitely leaving Motorola Triumph for a new phone whether EVO 4G or One V. Depends on my needs.

While a agree with some things you say. Straight talk does not have as nice phones coming out as vm. And no 4g. 55 may seem like a
Lot but compare that with a contract phone and all the features as well as the phones coming out and i would say in the long run vm is better then straight talk.

I think the problem you have is that you want a lot of minutes and a lot of data, but at the grandfathered rate.

400 minutes on the $25 plan is still only $35 (100 min. @ 10cents a minute), and if you don't use them, you aren't paying for them. I ran the numbers on all of the carious plans from every carrier, and for me (250-400 minutes a month) Virgin beat everyone hands down every time.

Straight Talk looked great, until I found that I wouldn't last more than 2 months before they kicked me off. It's not how much data I use, it's how I use it, I can hit 2-300 in a night but never break 1gig the rest of the month.

Before you switch, analyze ALL of the numbers very carefully and look into forums dedicated to the carrier before you switch. Straight Talk would have been a disaster for me. Turned out the best option for me was stay with Virgin, go to T-Mobile for $50 a month, switch to Boost for $55, or Red Pocket for $60. Everything else would have either not worked or cost me over $70 a month.

There is simply no way, with my use, to get service for less than $50 a month except with Virgin.

Straight Talk has BYOD.

While that is true, only phones with Sim cards and Tmobile and att&t devices are the only ones that be used correct?

I just don't see any other company as good as vm in the long run is all i was saying..

You know the international standard is GSM or phones that take sim cards?
There is a lot more phones available for GSM service than cdma network.

ill be staying with the OV til i can buy a new computer. and im far from rich. at $300 for the evo, i could almost build a decent pc.

i just recently purchased the OV a few months ago as my first android device, and it is serving me well. i can still play my favorite psx games and pocket legends. there are some games i would like to try... but arent compatible with the OV (lack of requirements i suppose), so im sure the Evo would be the way to go... after a price drop.

maybe if i seen a $200 tag on an Evo, i would pick it up.

It's not a matter of almost, for $300 you CAN build a pretty nice, upgradable, non gaming computer.
You can do Intel Sandy Bridge dual core (not Celeron!) or AMD quad with 8gigs memory and 500gig drive and all quality brand name stuff.

I've spec'd and built a few in the last few weeks for that.
