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.

[Q] Contract up, Atrix or something else?

My contract with AT&T is up and ive been using a ****ty nokia since I broke my Tilt2 over the summer. I'm thinking about the Atrix but not sure especially if it cant be rooted. Wish the Samsung 4g was coming sooner... What do you think I should do? Want to hear people's thoughts and arguments, especially since I can change carriers if i want. I'm in NYC and I already know AT&T sucks, Verizon gives handjobs and puppy dogs, so lets hear it...

The decision is up to you, but if you are hell bent on Verizon and have Atrix on the brain id hold out for the Droid Bionic.

Nah im not hell bent on Verizon, it was just a preemptive response to all the flamers who were going trash ATT
It would be awesome to get that dual screen phone Sprint was touting...

Go to T-Mobile this weekend only for any smartphone for free.

Both the G2 and the MT4G are 4G.

Galaxy S II, I want that! The international version even has AT&T bands. Hope it comes here so I don't have to pay 600 for a phone.

New to Verizon/Thunderbolt.

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...

I want to give my rebate back to T-mobile to save them from AT&T

So I got my prepaid visa card in the mail today for my rebate when I bought my MT4G. I have to say, this whole T-mobile/AT&T business just makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm about to call them up and tell to keep the money and put it towards staying separate from AT&T.
Anyone else feel the same way?

I'm with you in spirit. Sadly, even if you could get all 34 million T-Mobile USA subscribers to turn in an unused $200 rebate card... you'd still need another 161 million people to donate $200 dollars out of their own pockets to match the 39 billion offered.
(Yes, I realize that's not 100% apples to apples... I just got caught up playing with numbers.)

In the long run it would probably be cheaper than AT&T and well worth it for the better customer service.

couldn't agree more. I would pay more for the contract monthly to stay where i'm at now

I agree. But sadly, not enough people would help us out, even if we were to explain that in the long run, it would be beneficial. Unless AT&T decides to move towards what T-Mobile has and takes away their tiered-data, as well as removing the restriction of side-loading apps, I MIGHT consider it. But as of now, Verizon and Sprint are lookin' more and more attractive by the minute.

Agreed. Verizon. Hate to do it. I'm gonna ride the train and see what happens. Just really want the HTC pyramid u know

AT&T Officially Drops $39 Billion Bid On T-Mobile

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sns-ap-us-tec-att-t-mobile,0,1859192.story?track=rss
Its officially not happening! No AT&T/T-Mobile merger in the near future

Thank God, this is a win for us consumers.

Might want to fix the title, it was actually 39 Billion, not Million

This is sad. This merger would have been so much better for everybody. There's always hope for the future, though. Maybe AT&T will have a better chance with a better president.

Great news...been celebrating since the announcement! And it's a big win for all the users who fought big corporate brother!!

OMG!!!...soo sad...

That was a long waste of a process. Verizon and AT&T control 75% of the market. Sprint and T-Mobile USA are too small to survive on their own. They cannot keep pace with the capital investments of the much larger Verizon and AT&T. Sprint is struggling to build a 4G LTE network, and T-Mobile does not even have any immediate plans for one. I am hoping that some big outside investors (Dish Network, Google, etc.) come in and buy out the small carriers and make the necessary cash infusions. As a consumer, I want affordable, nation-wide mobile broadband with high (or unlimited) data caps.

T mobile is fine. Sprint however is in trouble.

Everyone keeps saying T-Mobile needs the iPhone and LTE. I'd love to have those things on T-Mobile but not at the expense of low rates. I think most T-Mobile customers will agree with me.

Customers disagree because T-Mobile continues to bleed subscribers without the iPhone. It is why Sprint is paying so heavily to finally get the iPhone this quarter.

Absolutely...the iPhone is not needed for T-Mobile to get customers. the HTC Amaze and Samsung Galaxy S2 are more than sufficient and considerably better phones than the iPhone 4S...maybe 2 years ago, T-mobile needed the iPhone, but not today. I highly doubt the iphone will save sprint or bolster their marketshare.

t-mo usa isnt fine, their owner want out of us market, so someone has to buy them now at an good price or at an fire sale later.

Iphone and lte. The iphone is not a network saving device. A lot of people would still buy the iphone out right and stay on t-mobile network. Most people jump to conclusions assume the deal would go through and left t-mobile.
Lets assume T-mobile starts pushing out windows 8 phones next year and they are as intuitive and intergrated with the desktops.
That will bring in more consumers since its a device that works with already most of your home products.
Lte as of right now t-mobile does not need Lte. The technology has not caught enough to have Lte reliable. Most Lte phones don't last more than 5-8 hrs. You shouldn't have to disconnect from 4g service to get decent battery life. Lte has often seen outages as well.
Hspa+ as for now shows that Lte is not needed. Majority of users have wifi at home. Also ping on Lte networks are either low or extremely high. Compared to t-mobile network. Higher ping the longer it takes for the web page to load.
T-mobile needs a better market strategy. Most of their good devices never have a commercial or any type of advertisement. The best bet would be to sell t-mobile to a company with a lot of spectrum like dish.

And Sprint shareholders agree that the iPhone is bad for business. I'm one of them. It's been painful.

If AT&T bought out T-mobile wouldn't that cause some kind of monopoly? At&T would control all of the market. Not to mention the prices of t-mobile would probably raise. Keep in mind AT&T was saying they'd try and keep T-mobiles price rates which i don't see happening.
