Iphone 4 is arriving to the BIG RED - General Topics

Today verizon said they would start selling iphone 4 on FEB the 10th but pre orders starts on the 3rd. so i was wondering who will buy the ipone 4 on verizon or would it hurt all the android phones verizon has?

Wrong thread to post in this area...
Heck, maybe even wrong site altogether? Does XDA have an iPhone section?

Yes there is a section... But in my opinion....big deal. The phone is a year old and android has all the same capabilities....plus more... Enough said =)

The big deal is that the iPhone is for simple people. Android is pretty advanced. Many new Verizon customers will appear when the iPhone drops. It'll slow network speeds due to increased traffic on our towers. I hope it isn't noticeable.

for any retards that googled verizon iphone:
iphone bad
android good

Please leave the droid x forum. Post that somewhere else. Apple is terrible

I know what it means and you may not be a troll here but you where on phandroid, also you act like Marcs word is no good and disparage him yet you tout pocketnow like they are always right, when in there review they got multiple things wrong about the phone. The problem with you is you name call and act like a child instead of having a discussion. Also you believe what you want and if there is something contrary even if your evidence comes from a site which has been known to make mistakes its ok with you as long as it fits your agenda

Bro you have no idea the crap i and many others had to deal with when he was on phandroid, he went as far as to start taunting me on youtube as well, with the same barbs about 5th graders and such nonsense. He got reported so many times in a matter of days with just 11 or so posts he got banned. Its unbelievable
and just to end this...
AT&T 4G Network
This phone runs on AT&T's dual-band 850/1900 MHz 4G network (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+), and with HSPA+ you'll experience mobile data speeds up to 4x faster than ordinary mobile broadband--up to approximately 6 Mbps (download). AT&T has deployed HSPA+ to virtually 100 percent of its mobile broadband network, which enables 4G speeds when combined with enhanced backhaul (via Ethernet or fiber).
Backhaul is one of the major pieces of a telecommunications network. Think of it as the limbs connecting AT&T's cell towers with AT&T's backbone network that provides access to the Internet.
Coming later in 2011, AT&T will deliver a second layer of 4G network called LTE (Long Term Evolution) that is even faster than HSPA+ speeds.
In areas where either AT&T's 3G or 4G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
Note: AT&T's 4G mobile broadband coverage is not available in all areas. 4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul; availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.

all my posts about hspa+ have been deleted/removed by moderator.

Because it's not "defective" if they haven't turned on the backhaul yet. That's what we're trying to explain to you. Have you seen faster speeds on ANY AT&T "4G" phone yet? No, because there aren't any other HSPA+ AT&T phones to compare it to.
That's why your other thread got shut down, because you don't know what you're talking about and you're trying to start a flame war and talk bad about a phone that hasn't officially released yet. Give them a chance to release it and turn on the backhaul, and if it's still this slow in a month or two than I'll join in with you asking why the HSPA+ "4G" is so slow. Until then, it's just speculation.
So stop acting like you're a 5 year old trying to start a fight. Just let the phone come out before you start ranting about how "broken" it is.

Thoughts and experiences on Verizon!

Hi all, to start of I must say I absolutely love T-Mobile. However, they just do not have the network that can keep me happy. T-Mobile just can't contend with Verizon's 3g coverage or LTE's speed. I know t-mobile has the best customer service ever but that only goes so far. Verizon also has some bad ass phones coming out. With that being said I am seriously considering switching over to big red. I would like to know everyone's thoughts and concerns on their network and customer service.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Have to agree with mark, this is the MyTouch 4G General section and it is a question about jumping MyTouch 4G to Big Red.
and we do spend alot of time trolling this forum so we learn to trust each other, and their respective opinions.
VZW is amazing, had them for two years before switching to TMO. Just be prepared to pay for it. As in bend over and say thank you sir may I have another.

The MT4G wasn't mentioned until you brought it up in bold. The OP is talking only about carriers, not phones. If it was talking about the MT4G versus another phone, I'd understand, but it wasn't. To my mind, threads about one carrier versus another don't belong in a device-specific subforum, which is what this is. That being said, I don't see discussion going anywhere.

Even if the DOJ or FCC don't allow it, T-Mobile as we know it is probably done. Deutsche Telekom has been trying to sell it and get out of the US market for several years.
They'd been in talks for quite a while to sell to Sprint, but that didn't work out. After that soured, they agreed on the deal with AT&T. Should this not go through, most of the experts seem to think they'll sell things off piecemeal to various carriers.
It's a sucky deal for those of us who like our T-Mobile service, but the writing is on the wall.
Many of us like T-Mobile for their low rates. Unfortunately, that's part of what's been killing them. They're not making much money, and despite with their low rates are continually losing customers. Even with free or nearly free smart phones and cheap data plans, they're hemmorhaging customers. Raising prices to be inline with other carriers would most likely result in a loss of profits and customer turnover increases even more.

Is there a Nexus/Android timeline?

Apologies if this has been asked to death, but my phone search couldn't find it.
I'm in bed with a stinky cold and trying to solve the age-old upgrade connumdrem (nexus or gs2, nexus or gs2). Anyway, I think a timeline of release dates for Nexii/Android OS would help me figure this out, but I can't find one (please bear in mind, my brain is fried atm).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

But of course, my brain really is fried today
I was up for renewal in Aug. I asked the same questions you did. I am on US verizon. I kept looking at "Galaxy Nexus Coming soon" for months. Dare I say, I was about to go for an iphone. Looking back I'm glad I held out, but I agree, roadmaps with timelines for milestone releases would be nice. I have to do it in my business.
Thanks for that. I ended up going with yhe S2 as i think i value storage over the layest updates.
I did actually make a timeline with contract lengths & update schedules in the end and that clinched it!

So I went to a few stores today that sells att phones. I asked everyone in all 5 of the stores about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, noone even knew about it as if it will be coming out 6 years from now -.- noone knew there was one even coming out let alone the name :/ it kind of makes me sad when the consumer knows more then the sales reps. They should train more in my opinion this was just my little experiance for the day just thought I'd share. Anyone else looking forward to the note lte for att?

Nobody in a provider store is going to have even a small clue about phones they don't already stock, this should not be a shock. And if you're on xda you're a bit above the typical consumer...

In-store reps definitely don't know anything. Most reps aren't like us and simply don't care. I usually come across some reps who give out good information about upcoming devices. These reps are always over the phone as they have quick access to the database. Try calling about a general question, talk to them for a bit, and when you're about to end the conversation, pop the question.

Ive sold phones for five years in three locations. I can tell you most of us know about phones as soon as they are rumors. As someone said earlier if we don't sell it we really don't care. To be honest if someone asked me about the note I would kinda just try to end it fast unless we were doing pre orders as asking me about a phone I cant sell isn't making me commission. If it is slow though I will talk about announced upcoming phones for quite awhile. Also most consumers walk in and say i want android or iphone not asking specifics

That's understandable. Wouldn't it be better to actually care and inform a consumer of an upcoming device? By informing them of said device, they might wait for it and pay the $200 with the contract. I understand you want to make some money as well but I guess from a personal standpoint I would help the person that cares as much as I do.

If they are techie I will chat with them build rapport and leave them with a business card and an appointment only if the release isn't months away. The average consumer wants what their friend has and even if a better phone comes out tomorrow won't wait.

I even tried bestbuy lol and the guys words were "our phone tech isn't here today he will be here tomorrow from 12-6" I live 40 mins away from anything so its not in my best choice to go back but anywho I go to the same att retailer when I buy my phones. They know me there and come at me quick because I don't just come in to buy a cheap pantech crossover I'm there with cash in hand and buy phones straight up xD so they are always willing to help. When I went in to buy my Sony xperia play 4g I handed her my iPhone to Bluetooth my contacts, she looked at my iPhone and her exact words were "what the F is this" it was running wp7 xD Haha but in all seriousness I think someone should be hired in the certain area. It'd be like hiring me to sell cars or ovens when I know nothing about them, I feel like they just hire anyone :/ I went to buy a computer once and the worker argued for 30 minutes that 512mb was a gigabyte :/ I shook my head and took my business elsewhere I just don't understand... sometimes I wish everyone cared about a phone as much as we do... instead of "as long as I can listen to music watch YouTube and look at porn, I don't care what it looks like or what it does" :'( I honestly just want to teach everyone for free so I don't feel so smart and dumb at the same time. anyone else feel that way?

I agree. I've perused tablets in Best Buy and after engaging the nearest 'team member' for less than 3 minutes, I realize that I know more than they do.
It's the same experience when going to the auto parts store. There are some people who can carry on informed conversation, but 90% are the type who watch fast & furious movies in awe, and know nothing about repair or maintenance or they can only look up part numbers.
Basically, lower your expectations.
This is why I get mad when I've tried many times to get a job in those kind of places to no avail because I don't seem to have any big time qualifications to my record yet if I go into any outlet store and begin talking about phones, the sales rep looks at me like I'm making up things or shocked I know anything.

I have had similar experience with applying for jobs at auto parts stores. The 'now hiring' sign is displayed for several months and the staff changes about every 3 weeks, but I never get called. For a while there was an older woman who not only knew nothing about cars but she also needed help to use the computer program to look up parts.
I finally realized that these people will work for less money than I will because I actually know what I am doing. It really is sad that people with any level of technical or mechanical ability don't actually work at the retail level because they can't get enough money.
And don't get me started on the people who work at Home Depot . .
I have no past work experiance. I'm 19 years old have been the "bad" kid because I used to be a "black magic" hacker I've gotten introuble from schools best buys and targets because of it but now I'm past all that I do phones tablets anything mobile. There is never a time when I'm in best buy that I'm back in the computer/phone area and usually an older citizen is talking to a sales Rep about which one is better and the sales Rep says well product A is $1299 with 4gb ram touchscreen is way better then product B $899 8gb ram and so on but they go by the price as the sales Rep was walking her to the register I kindly walked up and said "hello ma'am I noticed you were interested in two different so-so" the sales Rep called the manager and had me kicked out for costing him the sale xD but they wont hire me?

*Edit - When I say looks I also means assumptions that people will make of others based on their prejudices. -*End Edit
Most recently, I applied for a job repairing projectors. During the interview they kept asking me about how well I would transition to an office environment. Completely Ridiculous! I would be working in the workshop not the office and I happened to be better dressed than any of my interviewers.
Basically, some people cannot see past their little world or people they can understand.
Man Verizon store by me they don't know anything. And they are jerks as well. Went to upgrade my moms phone and said she wouldn't get unlimited data with her Droid 3 so I just bought it from newegg called up and boom she got her unlimited data. Never going back to that store again. Hate how now you have to bring phone to store to get replaced.

Is the Note 5 Considered a flop!!!

Well I recently bought the Note 5 and decided I wanted to go back to the Iphone. Ive tried selling it but had not received any good offers. Then I decided to just trade it into Tmobile and their trade in value for it is $401 dollars. I got more than that for a year old Iphone 6 Plus. I won't be buying Samsung again. And don't get me started on Samsung Pay, why announce Chase as a partner and not have them ready for launch. BofA wants 12 bucks a month for an account with them and US Bank wants 6. I'm not paying a bank for the pleasure of holding my money.
Seriously? Really?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent statement were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Life is too short to measure up to trolls.
I can't tell if you're asking a question or making a statement with that title

I can honestly say that the phones are better at T-Mobile than AT&T.

Otherwise known as "The Billy Madison Award". That scene is the most brutal takedown in movie history.

A simple "wrong" would have sufficed.

Nobody is applauding you. In fact it is the opposite and calling you an idiot for your unnecessary waste of thread space. Nobody really cares that you want to go back to the iPhone because people buy phones first for its personal use and not necessarily its resale value 2 years from now.
Really, most Note 5 owners SHOULD be upset. The phone has not been out 2 months and retail prices have dropped several hundred dollars due to weak sales - international models especially.
Someone states their opinion and everyone jumps to personal attacks.. Nice. I'm happy to see the maturity in the forums.

I love love love my Note 5... Don't care about the non removal battery, don't care about SD cards... I do however miss my IR blaster and as far as selling your phone try https://swappa.com/
After using package disable pro and disabling junk. This is simply the best note I've owned since the note 2. Battery life is stellar and the note 5 tw is insanely fast.

Which is why leasing phones is the new way.

Sure, but when Samsung decides to drastically cut the price of the unlocked models, that drives down resale value for all versions. Take a look at Swappa or ebay - you've already lost 300$~ in the device your holding. Maybe not a huge deal to most, but personally, I was a little upset when I looked into selling my Note5 to swap over to a Nexus 6p.
