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.

No, that phone will be absolutely horrible for development. Android is not designed for two screens.

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

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?

Ok, it's said that we are getting the Pyrimid, We are def getting the G2x and now it seems the LG 3d phone passed the fcc with tmo 3g bands and is the first dual core dual channel phone.. I really would like to get a phone that dual core when they are available but with this att deal it doesnt make sense to buy a new phone. From what I read ATT plans on using the TMO 3g frequencies for it's LTE network which means current tmo 3g phones will no longer work as 3g. Granted this is going to take a while to happen but does it really make sense to get a new device now or even in a few months when there is a possibility it wont fully work in a year? hmmm

I'd look at the HSPA+ bands. I think they are doing to be coming out with ATT and T-Mobile bands included. IF that is the case then jump on board.
Apparently the G2X will have ATT hspa+ bands as well

Lol so when this is all going down (if it does) I might migrate to the G2X..looks like solid hardware to me. I love my mt4g tho. I'm sad to see the big launch phone for their 4G advertising have its life span altered. Granted according to most the fact stands that we have a year before the deal even possibly gets approved and even then we're talking 2013-15 before tmo 1700 mhz is completely shut down.

I was planning to upgrading from MT4G to Pyramid as MT4G for me was never official upgrade as it was quick replacement due to my HD2 being stolen. Now don't confuse upgrade and replacement with plan and insurance BS as I do pay my phone direct and paid $750 for Leo1024 got it 4months before it came out in TMoUS officially and paid $450 for MT4G.
I for one will not support TMobile and pay for HTC Pyramid even when if its has quadband radio and will support on AT&T. If the POS panzy dutch mofo's are selling it I for one will do pure boycott and I do hope they lose so much money that AT&T don't buy TMo as it looks very unattractive. I know I am very angry ATM as I am screwed both ways click here for my #1 reason can you call that double penetration?
I dont care, the pyramid will be my upgrade when it comes up in three months the 4.3 size is just the right size for me

With or without contract? Make sure this is what you want as you will soon deal with DeathStar if you don't switch to someone else. I do miss the 4.3" and most device that does have it on GSM are SamSUX based or HTC based on CDMA so I was looking forward to this until the BS merge of at&Tmobile.
As the title states, its out in Canada tomorrow from what i can see/been told. Hopefully the phone was worth the wait =3.
Thinking about it. Anyone know if BestBuy will let you pay full out for one with no contract unlike the atrix
Will be getting one from either wirelesswave or Tbooth tomorrow off contract, and will then unlock and use on Rogers.

Called Best Buy, they said they had it and it was $549, I said you have it now? they said yep. I said it's $549? they said yep, I said okay, hold it for me I'll be right in, they said okay... I went and they said they couldn't sell it to me, the skew wasn't taking or something like that. I said I just called you... just a dumbfounded look on their part. I hate incompetence.
Anyways, I'm guessing their computer knows that the official release is tomorrow so it's not allowing the sale.

loving this fone since TMO launch, i highly recoommend it.
i just hope bell didnt swamp the fone with bloadware like TMO did :/
The TMO version of the phone supports both the AWS frequencies and the UMTS frequencies. Does anyone have any idea if this is the same with the one Bell is releasing? I'm looking to put this phone on WIND and would prefer to buy it within the country rather than from the outside.

you need the TMO or an unbranded for working on AWS, most others arent compatible
not to mention how easy it is to get a TMO S4G in canada, or just by driving across the border
Thinking of going out to my local best buy and futureshop to see if they will in fact sell one on no contract... Anyone have any luck doing this?
I just walked into the source and walked out with a bell sensation. Unlocking now for use on rogers. No issues no need to setup a bell account.

You got it off contract? Ugh this sucks. I got my Atrix through best buy with the PEP program and the wifi signal strength/call quality are horrible and I just got the phone May 26th, but since I got GingerBlur on the phone, I don't see how I'm gonna be able to exchange it without em noticing something...different with the phone.

I happen to work at Best Buy Mobile, and if you restore a stock rom and mess with around with a root explorer, you should be able to mess up the phone enough for them to exchange it with said PEP. The guys there don't EVER notice anything subtle, and I doubt you should have any problems
With it unlocked, will it get Rogers 3G? I'm assuming yes as HSPA+ bands are 850/1900 like Rogers.

So in other words, no information whatsoever. Lazy HTC listed quad band GSM but forgot to include the 3G bands in the specs.
We can probably assume it's UMTS 850/1900, possibly also 2100 for roaming. No AWS. The only Big 3 devices to include AWS have been the pentaband Nokias.

Get the money, the phone, sell the iphone 4 for 425-450. You end up with ~500. Inspire is 325 on craigslist.
Check online for iphone 4 prices, just to be sure. Last I had looked, it was 425.
No Brainer. Inspires sell for 250 on here so even if you want to stick with one you are a couple hundred ahead for your trouble.
Personally though I would make the deal, sell the iphone, and grab a bell htc sensation for an additional 100!

Yeah Bell Mobility uses the same WCDMA bands as AT&T, you just need to carrier unlock it if the one you buy isn't already unlocked. Other than that you'll need to put in some APN settings but it's all a pretty easy process.
Just make sure you get the 850/1900 model (Bell, some others) and not the 700/2100 model (T-Mobile)

If you buy the T-Mobile version, correct, no WCDMA data will work. That's why it's silly to buy the wrong model. Canadian carriers use the WCDMA bands that AT&T uses. Even better, the Bell HTC Sensation doesn't even have a carrier logo slapped on it like the T-Mobile version does.

Thats why I suggested adding 100 to the iPhone/inspire deal and you would wind up with a great phone for a small upgrade cost.
