Hi just read the news at&t going lte on summer
(http://attinnovationspace.com/s/edi...k=&blogTopic=7619587&date=May 25 2011 9:30AM)
Does it means our Samsung Infuse 4g will be outdated that quick?
What are we going to do with this phone?!

Until the battery drain issues that plague LTE phones are solved I think I'll be using and loving might I add my Infuse...

No I don't think the infuse has a LTE chip in it. LTE is a completely separate chip and it eats batteries like CRAZY!!!!!
I get about 8mbs down in my work area and 6MB at home.... I am pretty satisfied with those speeds.... Stream movies no problem on it.

Really not true. Lte is great. The thunderbolt just has a tiny battery. Those claiming they don't want it haven't used it.
I get 4-5 times your download speed with lower ping for the same price. Upload is probably way more. And 6mb on att is hardly consistent.

Well we have battery issue in Infuse 4g too even without LTE and [email protected] remove the option to turn off 4g, when you charge your infuse, try to turn off data network to turn off 4g,you will notice charging will cut in almost half the time even with wifi on, so 4g on the infuse is always turned on, is the main cause battery is poor not the big screen.

No different than 3G.
Display is the number one battery drain (depending on use). Followed by the radio(s).

Yeah, i have no idea what that says. I tried to read it 3 times.
I'm assuming it was a rebuttal. HSPA+ isn't a significant difference from 3g. Disagree completely with it draining much faster.
I wouldn't want LTE ability even if it was available for the Infuse. I see what it does to my friends Thunderbolt and the battery life is atrocious

The only reason why you get good download speeds right now is because Verizon is new to the 4G game and 90% of their users are on 3G so you have the advantage right now wait til you hit Att problem that IPHONE hoggers take up all the bandwith then you can comment.

htc always has bad battery life. have you ever seen an evo? even the inspire users i see complain.
Not interested myself....
LTE or WiMax devices all have putrid battery life and everyone I know that have an evo or thunderbolt keep their 4g off or else they wouldn't make it through HALF a day....plus 4g reception is spotty at best...
No thanks...
HSPA+ is every where you have a 3g connection....and uses no more battery then being on regular HSPA...

I also thought that HSDPA is capable of upto 21 MBPS. I get 6-7 megs down now. what do we really need. I can stream just fine with that and most places I go have wifi.
i used to think highly of lte and lowly of hspa+ as 4g. wimax, lte, and hspa+ are actually all rehashes of 3g technology modified enough to be considered 4g. the problem i have with lte is that the phones are very thick and the battery life is horrible. it makes a better phone when you actually turn 4g off, and thats not good on verizon since their 3g maxes out at 1.5mbit if your lucky. lte is the future of cell phone tech but its seems its not ready right now. ill wait for a good 4g phone.
i do have to say i find verizons diversity of lte phones quite peculiar. the htc thunderbolt, samsung charge, and lg revolution all have 4.3" wvga screens, 1.3mp front cameras, 8mp 720p rear cameras, 1ghz snapdragon processors, all very thick and have bad battery life. no smaller screens or slide out keyboards or any real selections are to be found.

LOL... I had an inspire and went back to iPhone after 2 weeks. I HATED the battery. I'd charge it, go to bed, and wake up and it'd have auto powered off, WTF?!!?
I returned it. I just bought an Infuse 4G... haven't set it up yet, hopefully it's nice on batter.
And FYI on LTE: Seriously? AT&T hasn't launched a single market on LTE... by the time they have the top 50 markets covered it'll be Summer 2012... get real, of course the Infuse doesn't have LTE, haha. If they launch LTE handsets by mid 2012 I'd be shocked. This is AT&T we're talking about.
My job decided to get me a company phone and start paying the bill, but only problem is, they use sprint. So, I had them get me the new evo 3d. I've always been a fan of t mobile and their network, but hey, I'm saving 100a month. Well, got my new phone setup, and must say, sprint is a lot slower than t mobile is, and the phone is kind of a let down. The 3d is cool, but I can't stand sense at all. Plus quadrant scores are lower.
I know we have been getting a lot of I hate my g2x, but I miss mine already. Plus, not a fan of a locked boot loader. Just wanted to share some g2x love.

Plus 1 on this. I got the sensation and although it was great at first, it slowly turned into a nightmare and I missed the g2x bad. So, back to the g2x and couldn't be happier..
Sorry you are missing it as the 3d is basically the sensation.. I love my g2x and got another on the way for my girl..
DUDE!!! walk into your boss' office punch him in the face, demand they switch over to tmobile then tell em EXACTLY what your avi means and pose just like it!!!!
Hahaha. man, I wish I could. Only other network they use is att, but they suck too. sprint network speeds blow - plus 4g coverage is terrible. Ah, I hate sense. It's terrible. The phone is snappy, and the 3d pictures and movies is cool, but will probably get old. The g2x seems to handle video's better. Man, the grass is never greener. You guys should be happy you have a beast for a phone. If I had a choice, I'd be back in a heart beat. ...but, I basically got a100 a month raise, and a free phone, but I have to pay cancellation charges.

Dude if they use at&t then pick up a G2x and use it on at&t
Granted the data may be a little slower because frequencies are different but at least you'd have the real deal.

3G nor 4G will work on AT&T.. the phone's advertising was wrong. It does not support those bands for AT&T.
The g2x is great in terms of hardware. But LG just fails to provide good software support. Wasted hardware really.

I wish that was the case, but they pay the entire bill, unlimited everything, and for some reason, they use sprint. I can't stand Sprint download speeds. They are pitiful. Avg for me so far has been .5-2 mb/s, while my tmobile was about 3-7mb/s. That's quite the drastic drop.

Tell your boss that your looking for the best deal for the company and that switching to T-mobile you can save the company money while getting the phone and service you want. T-mobile business is UTTW for $44.99 per line.

There were multiple threads when the phone first came out. People were angry that they wouldn't be able to use 3G/4G on AT&T with the phone.
I believe the incorrect advertising was on T-Mobile's end.

I was with T-Mobile for 8 years up until I switched to Sprint last fall as I got a job with them and free service. Hard, T-Mobile was always awesome with data and their hspa + upgrade in denver was amazing.I had nexus one at the time, which wasn't an hspa + device but I still pulled 5mbps on 70ping in many places. On Sprint, I couldn't even stream Pandora at my gym! Since then, I moved but issues were still there, from service disruptions to data drops, to speeds capping at 300kbps and 4g being pretty damn awful and a battery kill. Just now couldn't take it anymore and dropped to buy g2x with the online sale lol.

Calling 2G (Edge) a "little" slower than 3G or 4G is the understatement of the year

I can't wait for the Hercules. Its pretty much a Infuse with a dual core CPU. Nobody knows for sure which dual core it will be but I've seen speculation that it will be a Qualcomm. Then again, everyone speculated everyone's SGSII to look the same since we saw cases on a website but we all know that speculation was wrong since ATT'S is a slider. Hell, the Hercules might not eveb have a 4.5 inch screen at this point since everyone was totally wrong on saying ATT, Verizon and Sprints would be the same form factor as the European version.

I'm telling you, their 4g service is a joke. I can never find it, and if I do, I can never get above 2.5 mb. There 3g is a joke, and I have to use wifi. I absolutely hate their service, and their customer service sucks too. Only reason I'll stay with them, I'm getting a full free ride. I might see if I can eventually switch to att, since the big wigs at my company use them for their iphones. I'd never get an iphone, of course. Guys, you are lucky to have your download speeds. I called their customer service, and told them I was getting pour speeds compared to t mobile, and she asked me, what's the benefit of faster download speeds anyway! Seriously! I hung up.

Lol yea I know how it goes, its crazy down there and my buddy who lives in Georgia is on sprint as well, he's been having same issues as me for the past few months. During off hours I could get 2mbps down some places, while still not get any data downtown Denver.... 4g is always one bar Max, unless I am at my store, and it literally drops signal like no other, no point in even wasting my battery on keeping my wimax antenna on... even if I do get 2mbps its still way slow compared to T-Mobile, ping of 300 really does make it seem even slower as well.
I went to the gym tonight and got my buddy there to download speed test on his g2, was during peak hours. He got 6mbps down while I couldn't even open Facebook lol.

is this phone THAT MUCH better than the att and tmobile branded galaxy s2?
The SR is capable of flying on TMO's WCDMA bands.. However its not as perfect as a T989 would be, but very usable. Biggest issue i've had with using it on tmo was the random drops of data. (Nothing major, just every once in a while it'd tank and I'd have to go to airplane mode and back out to get it going again)
To directly answer your question: Yes the Skyrocket can be made to function on Tmobile 3g/4g (non lte obviously)
It will require an unlock code though.

No........this phone is not THAT MUCH BETTER than the S II. But you cannot get 4G with the S II. But many things about the S II are still very good or better than SkyR....starting from the processor - not its speed but its quality.

Although I AM a iphone hater , the iphone has always had the best reception compared to all the phones put together on AT&T's network. The reasons for this are obvious..........may not have the best tech features, but it still remains the best BUILT phone as far as hardware is concerned !!
So your wife will always be happier than you when she look at her signal strength !!!
EDIT: Furthermore, the Skyrocket was a hastily put together device to leverage the "new" 4G LTE network that AT&T was desperate to sell. So, this phone came out within months of the plain Galaxy S II, which is thus a better phone in build quality than the Skyrocket.

This, is wrong. The chipset is based off one of the best radios qualcomm has ever produced, and is one of, if not the only pentaband radio with LTE (multi band lte support I might add). You can use the phone with any gsm carrier world wide. As for reception, if you don't have 4g in ur area, use the t989 telus radio, it has much better 3g signal support in my opinion. As for build quality, well its pretty much identical to the s2 exterior wise, so... :-D
I am an ex iPhone user and can say that in my area, the skyrocket blows the iPhone away. This is in signal, call quality and data speeds. Hands down, the Skyrocket is far superior to the overblown iDevices. These statements are from comparing the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and the Skyrocket. Not to mention iPhones have yet to go above 512 RAM and cannot utilize LTE. They are skating on hype and brand recognition, not superior hardware.

I live in Omaha NE, and we still have yet to actually have 4g access. Anyone in an area without 4g have the Galaxy S III and still recommend it?
I sometimes go in spots where there is only 3g.Coming from my x2, even when only in 3g the s3 is faster and smoother then my old 3g phone, but everything is evidently gonna be 4g so you can't go wrong it's a nice phone.

This is sort of like asking if you should build a gaming PC even though you only have dial up.
Your connection is just one part of the experience. It's up to you how smooth and fast you want everything else to be.

When you say 4g, do you mean hspa+ or lte?
I live in an area with no lte, I get respectable hspa+ speeds. If you have no hspa or lte, then I find that surprising. I thought at&t set out to cover areas lacking hspa with LTE first. Thats why cities like Philadelphia just got LTE today.
Anyway i recommend getting the s3. Its the best LTE phone out by far and eventually at&t will cover you with LTE.

i bought me and my wife both the GS3 and live in a 3G only area only work occasionally in a poor 4G area. I came from a Nexus S and wouldn't look back at buying a different phone.

I live in Omaha NE, and we still have yet to actually have 4g access. Anyone in an area without 4g have the Galaxy S III and still recommend it?

As it has been stated above...4g or no 4g this is (imo) the best phone out there.
I live in a non-4g area and I love the phone. I figure that whatever phone I get is only gonna be 3g (most of the time) so why not buy the best.
Plus it's like a bonus treat when I travel to a city with 4g and I see the little 4g icon pop up...It's like a special gift form the city to me
This phone is a beast, 4G or not. The processor, RAM, screen, functionality, development choices, and style are just a few things that should sway you toward buying this. Wait for what? I doubt anything can be better than the GS3 for another year.

When you say 4g, do you mean hspa+ or lte?
I live in an area with no lte, I get respectable hspa+ speeds. If you have no hspa or lte, then I find that surprising. I thought at&t set out to cover areas lacking hspa with LTE first. Thats why cities like Philadelphia just got LTE today.
Anyway i recommend getting the s3. Its the best LTE phone out by far and eventually at&t will cover you with LTE.

LTE, I have verizon and was sold the iphone 4s thinking I'd have 4g but the only signal I ever pick up is 3g.

You need a better phone or go to other areas of Omaha, I get 4g almost everywhere. 4 bars at home, 5 at work!

Not sure what you're talking about. Omaha through Lincoln has great 4g service. At Eppley in Omaha last week, received 20 down and 10mps up on 4g using Speednet app.

Apple confused the hell out of everyone on the 4S. I frequently talk to people with the iPhoney that think they have 4G service. Also heard of an IPOD nano coming out that is labeled 5G? or something like that. I just wish they would continue to avoid 4G service and dread the day Apple users suck up all the 4G bandwidth.
SGS3 is an awesome phone, whether you are on 3G/4G-LTE it's going to kick your old phone to the curb. The phone is faster so I could possibly pull better speeds even on 3G than your current handset. If you travel at all you'll be 4G/LTE ready and when you finally get updated locally you'll see awesome immediately.
There is also huge support for the SGS3 because of the bootloader getting unlocked a few weeks back and of course because it's just such an awesome phone period.
