Why am I not shocked that someone who types like a quadriplegic chimpanzee with tourettes is the one to post this? Hey, hows that Evo 4g? You know, the best phone they have that was released like 7 months ago and doesnt run android as well as our windows mobile phone (HD2) does. How's getting the up-to-date OSes, I bet you're loving windows phone 7 huh? You live outside Atlanta, I'm guessing somewhere in the boonies out there because I'm quite certain that T-mobile has 4g coverage in Atlanta so if you're not even pulling 3g then I wouldnt gripe about any cellphone coverage living in the middle of nowhere.

I was speaking out against sprint as a whole of course I don't expect you to understand that but yeah, just because they dont cover your specific area does not make them a bad carrier at all. I've had every carrier and had to pay my way out of contracts with all of them due to their customer support (Sprint actually sent me a broken PPC6800 as a replacement with a cracked digitizer and then expected me to pay for another insurance claim because they sent me a broken phone.) Just because you live in an underdeveloped area does not make T-mobile a bad carrier.

At&t buys T-mobile!

AT&T Merger
Here is a pretty good break down of what I've found on the subject. I think it will be good for T-Mobile Users but think we are going to get the short end of the stick with the government cracking down on AT&T now that they will be the largest Cell carrier in the world.
Edit: Looks like I took too long you beat me to it.

at&t network is gonna go to **** (deeper ****) once they finish the merge and we share towers/the network.
does this mean t-mobile turns into at&t and wat about CTIA...like the G2X (optimus 2x) will it be a at&t phone now plus what about the new Nexuses (Nexi?)
Not too shocking. TMO was starting to really hurt. They were looking at some serious customer bailing. Somewhere in the 2.5-2.7%, I think AT&T/Verizon are in the >1% last I heard.
Seems there would be no competition, Sprint probably not even in the running, financially, and Verizon is CDMA, no way they'd cross technologies
The funny part is the new ad campaign TMO has, ripping AT&T and the iPhone
As far as the devices, there is the Galaxy 4G, and the G2. Not too bad I guess

T-Mobile person here.
I think it would help both. Mostly the T-Mobile people since I'll finally have coverage where T-Mo doesn't (my damn school), but yeah.
So..... what's up future bro's?
T-Mobile guy here and I'm pissed. I NEVER drop calls and have incredible customer service.
If this merge goes through I'm changing carriers.

we pay $270 for 3 lines of unlimited everything.... anyone wanna tell me how much it's gonna round out to be on AT&T? :/
EDIT: I am an only child. ROFL
pretty much all carriers equate to about the same for price.
Hello everyone! New guy here to Verizon, and the Thunderbolt. I was with T-Mobile till the BIG news break of the day about AT&T buying out T-Mobile. I refuse to give AT&T money, so I jumped ship and joined Verizon.
Simple question really....
Anything that I really need to know about Verizon in general, and/or how they work with their customers?
Thanks!
Will.
I personally have never had any problem. Always been a great experience with VZW for me.
I moved to Verizon from AT&T and have gotten far superior service. I have gone onto their site and chatted live with folks about things that are really odd and they've been willing to go out of their way to answer the questions I've had. Additionally, as I do work in smartphone security and one of my malware simulations was worried VZW would have issue with it... so went to a store and they took the time to look through the contract and make sure I wouldn't violate any policies with me. I have found them to be a significant improvement over AT&T.
So yeah great experience & great customer service. Plus the quality of network is the best I've been on yet. And can't wait to get on the Verizon 4G LTE network later this week.

That's why I paid full retail to get a ThunderBolt as after seeing the speeds and no additional cost for the service couldn't convince myself not to And the sales associates were very helpful to double check that I wouldn't loose any of my current upgrade dates/promotions down the line.
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Yeah it's been great..ex t-mobile customer here as well. Just one bit of warning, watch out for the first bill!

Oh god, what am I looking at?
I loved TMobile for their competitive rates and awesome customer service.
Since switching to Verizon I have had superior coverage and I have had a great customer experience. My sales rep pampered me when I purchased the TB and started a new family plan.
Thus far, I have received awesome service. Maybe it is new customer treatment or maybe it is because I have a nice corporate discount plan. Either way, I am happy!
Can you tether the TB once rooted or does verizon sniff around and cut you off or send a text that your not allowed to tether?

Just a pro rated, higher than usual bill...try not to use your phone too much (like texting, calls) if you have a low mins/voice plan until the first billing cycle is over....after that it's smooth sailing from there..then again your exeperience might be different..
anyways don't let that stop u! go get your TB!

Yes you can and no they won't ..from my experience.
Question about the TB. Anyone getting a slight delay when rotating the phone, lets say when you want to text, or browse the web?

This has only been on AT&T to my knowledge so far and only for iPhone users using the MiFi app on their jailbroken iPhones. From what I understand about the way wifi tether works on rooted phones ties it into the underlying architecture so it looks like native traffic. And I'm pretty sure the methods for detecting if your tethered under this approach will make it tough to near impossible for them to detect; however, they could take the classic ISP approach of network shaping/throttling if you seem to be using more bandwidth than they want you to.
But even on the Verizon iPhone so far no issues w/ this from Verizon. Might be that the population of people who choose to jailbreak/root in comparison to the number of users is so small that they don't see enough of a loss to have them want to spend the cost of spending their time/money to track down these users yet.
Thanks for making this thread because I also jumped from ATT to V with two Thunderbolts for my wife and I. They should be here tomorrow.
It will be our first time on Verizon, and our first smartphones. We are finally joining the 21st century. Hhah.

Oh, I'm good. I went with an unlimited plan.
Wow! We are in the exact same boat. Once I found out about the sale I jumped ship as well. I ordered on amazon tonight and will get the phone cheaper but I'll have to wait til its back in stock.
I currently use a G2 on TMO and I love it, never had a problem until todays news came out. AT&T will NEVER get anything from me again, I was with them once a few years back and it was horrible!
Anyways, From one former TMO customer switching to VZW to another, enjoy man! I know I will. Went in store today for a demo. This phone looks awesome!
On a side note, any TB users use Slingbox? With the 4G speeds how reliable is it? And how is the quality? I normally only watch over WiFi or at my comp at work.

lol before switching from sprint to verizon, since sprint doesn't care what you do data wise, i asked verizon this in a round about way. They said they could careless how much you use. Which makes sense when you have a device pulling at times near 30Mbps down, (got that speed a few times today) you are bound to use a crapton of data. I have only had the phone 24 hoursish, and I already have a gig of data used...lol...
should i wait 4 the evo 3d im using spint or go 4 the atrix?
What phone do you have now? Allthough the Atrix is an OK phone its still on AT&T so I wouldnt change carriers for that. Its my opinion Sprint has much better cust service and a better network (I know someone is going to disagree). Maybe not the best but better. I have the EVO now and I dont see how much better it could possibly get. I just think that for 500 dollars you can get a Dual core LAPTOP if thats why you are getting the phone.
I wouldnt do it just because AT&T cust service sucks. And anyone who disagrees with my statement about sprint heres my pre response. What other carrier gives new customers a 30 day FREE trial of thier network? Usually your in a contractand you have to pay your cancellation fee or something. Also for existing customers - I get a full rebate every 12 months towards a new phone as if i was a new customer. How bout it verizon?
And before you get on verizons service they use the same technology (CDMA) they roam on each other.
thanks. and i have the evo as well i agree with you so in my mind already leaning to the 3d. i was on att with the 3gs ......... hated every wasted minute with that company
then i say 3d but either way come back and let me know which one and what your experience was!
I hate to be that guy.. but i came from nextel to sprint, I will agree that there customer support is good. but the service even though sprint owns nextel or whatever is terrible in the chicago land area.
Im going with evo 3d I have evo 4g now and LG op S I played with my friends atrix and I also was told about a personal experience with the sga2 and it wasn't what I thought it would be at all nexus s no was so yea I pre ordered the 3d now waiting for a date lol

I was just curious, if you had the chance to go with whatever carrier and get any android phone...which one would you go with?? What is the best choice?

Exactly this^
If I was grandfathered in for unlimited Data at Verizon, and the SGSII had an LTE radio on Verizon, It would be the greatest possible scenario.
But because I am not on unlimited Verizon, I'll have to say SGSII on Sprint.
I'm currently on SGSII Unlocked with AT&T, and I'm not too impressed with them. The phone itself is fantastic though.
I would not go with AT&T simply because of the horror stories I have heard from some of their customers. That may seem somewhat ignorant, but having worked with both T-Mobile and Verizon, I don't believe I could go with any other carrier. T-Mobile's cutomer service is ridiculously good, and Verizon's coverage is amazing.
That being said, phones play a certain role in this decision making process as well. While I would not necessarily choose a different carrier simply because they had the phone I wanted, it would play a heavy role in my decision making process.
All of that considered, the setup I have now, an HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon, couldnt be better.
Galaxy SII, any network...
galaxy s2 hercules! a variant of the s2. its not even out yet, I dont have any preference for carrier though. we don't have AT&T Verizon and other big providers here
Thanks for the discussion guys! I want exactly sur what to do ..
Looks like I'm going with the SGS2 ha ha
Ilk keep ya updated ^ ^

I really hope the announcement next Monday is for SGSII on Verizon. I'd hate to be stuck with the bionic...
The best option now is the Samsung GALAXY S II from a hardware point of view or the HTC Sensation if you like the HTC Sense interface.
