We have to admit, AT&T‘s current “4G” offering – which uses HSPA+ – has left us pretty much cold, with underwhelming speeds in comparison to Verizon’s LTE network. Happily AT&T also has LTE plans of its own, and the carrier has just announced the first five markets to get the speedier 4G access: Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta and San Antonio will all get some AT&T LTE-lovin’ as of this summer.

Good deal! thanks for the info
What are the odds of being able to keep your unlimited plan when switching to LTE? I put it close to zero.

Sadly, you're probably right.
"Hmm, let's give them phones that they'll want to do more on, give them higher speeds, and then give them stupid low caps!"
They either didn't think that through or are simply evil.
I wouldn't doubt that att would say they have to place a cap because of infrastructure limitations. But hopefully us grandfathered ones would keep holding on to the unlimited data. But if they don't I will demand they give me a huge ass sweet deal or I would leave lol. Hopefully it won't be the latter.
The only reason anybody on any planet would want LTE speeds, let alone hsupa speeds is to download large files. Its like giving us all ferrari's and sayin, "now you only get to drive it for 200miles a month and after that its gonna cost you". Too bad their the ones with the ferrari's... and it almost seems like a huge evil plan. I always get these texts with a "tip" that using wifi is free. Ok, so, you limit all your phones to 2gigs a month, charge the for going over, then HEY whada ya know, wifi is free! Bless us all were SAVED! OH, WAIT!! I dont have wifi, - then the rep tells me, well we can take care of that, you can get 6mbs for only $19.99 a month! Whoa wait, I thought wifi was free? Hmm... I wonder how many people got new internet service along with their iphone 4 or shortly after. I call shenanigans...
@ BAleR
I pay more per month for my two data packages w/ ATT than I do for my unlimited 25/5 Verizon Fios home interwebs. Somethins wrong w/ that piktar.
As with Sprint, will take a long time before they come to the hampton roads area
What I'd like to know will the current roms & kernels support lte or will they have to be redone to enable the lte technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PS AT&T just put two new towers in my area so I have HSPA+ about 90% of the time.

Because your stuck in a 2 year contract and maybe in those two years LTE will be in your area, so if you buy a non lte phone your screwed either way. Plus, never know, you may move to a LTE area...

I understand the point about being stuck in a contract. I would avoid the contract myself but on the other hand if he knows hes gonna stick with 1 carrier then why not.
Its kinda hard for me to judge this seeing how i have been on LTE for almost a year and it doesnt seem like a big deal to me.
One thing the topic creator should know is the i777 and skyrocket are pretty much different phones so if hes into flashing roms that may make a difference in his decision.
Don't, just stick with what you got. Wait till something comes out don't jump on a phone now. In 6 months time you will find something else better and won't be able to get it. Just my opinion.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
If you're within the return period and you think there's a high likelihood of LTE coming to your city in the next two years, then I would switch (this is what I did).
Otherwise, the i777 is just as good as or better than the Skyrocket (unless you really gotta have that extra 0.2' screen real estate). Other than LTE, the only thing that I liked better about the Skyrocket is that the screen wakes up faster when you press the power button. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same. You should wait until until the Skyrocket HD, Sony Ion, or any other new phone coming out this year.
Just do it!
I've had both and they're pretty much the same phone. Some people say exynos processor and all that other junk....real usage they are the same.
If you think you'll get LTE in the next two years get an LTE phone.
Also..buy it off the market place or Craigslist, screw signing a contract.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I started with the 777 and swapped to the 727 25 days into the contract when I heard that LTE was coming to KC.
Both are great handsets, but glad to have LTE-- which is rolling out quickly, so if you are in a metro area there is a good chance you will have it in the next year or so.
If you can switch for not much cost I would say do it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
What phone to go with is going to depend a LOT on where you are. My wife as the 777 and I have the skyrocket. Outside of network they feel like the same phone just mine is a little bigger . In Chicago outside of LTE att's data network is beyond slow it takes about a minute to load a webpage on utms or hspa during rush hour. On lte it's just as fast as when I'm on wifi.
Keep your S2 if you don't have LTE, trust me it's a better phone, imo I prefer the 4'3 size, the square body,it's lighter too, the processor is definately better I used to have a S2 and switched to skyrocket only cause LTE and I notice the difference a lot but I guess I was willing to trade performance over internet speeds.
Simple if no LTE S2 better, if LTE Skyrocket only if you like speeds, if you ok with H+ speeds (3-6mbps) the the S2 still a better choice.
And at the end of the year it won't matter anyways Iphone5 or S3 will be out.
I made the switch from i777 to i727. I would say it is an even trade.
LTE is amazing. If you can get it, it is as good as everyone says. Pings in the 60ms on the average. I've seen up to around 50mbps down. Even when you have weak LTE, you are still getting more than 10mbps. Because of the low pings, it truly feels like wifi. bigger screen is just a tiny bit nicer. But processor is slow. Xvid playback is choppy. 3D games don't run as smooth. Just buttery smoothness you won't get that you got with i777.
I say the i777 is one of the best phones ever made. But lacking LTE. Even though the screen is tiny bit smaller, the i777 is a bit sleeker, more elegant.
Elegant

I have the GS2, the Skyrocket, and the Vivid and I don't live in a LTE market and I highly doubt I will get it any time soon. I find that the LTE phones get better service in my area Compared to the HSPA+ phones.
Stay with i777, much better device. No screen or speed issues. That phones gets many more things.
Huh?? u guys r all crazy lol. I'm watching 1080p h264 on my phone with no lag or anything, the rendered your app was using must have sucked. Yes exynos is a superior chipset when compared to snapdragon s3, but that's only at the same frequency. In benchmarks its been proven that the higher clock speed of 1.5 more than makes up for the lack of architecture. Don't just spout off nonsense from other reviewers without doing your own homework
Whose LTE network will be crippled the most with an LTE iPhone AT&T or Verizon? The reason I ask this is, even though it is an Android forum, a large number of members have LTE phones and will be affected by this. I would like to hear peoples' professional responses, not AT&T/Verizon sucks. Please talk about the technology and how the increased number of LTE phones will affect their networks.
As a whole Verizon will probably not be affected much. Individual towers in densely populated areas....may. I know in my area a year and a half ago...when vzw was having 4g outages every week that I was pulling down 30+ and about 15 on the up with a rezound. I have went thru a bionic, RAZR, nexus, and have an siii on the way and over the course of the year and a half my speeds have gone down to about 10 to 12 down and 3 up. Tells me either vzw figured out the throttling thing where they say you won't really notice it ( more like capped speeds) or that many more have gotten LTE on vzw in the north Chicago neighborhoods.
Can't answer about at&t as I don't have their service.

Hopefully the networks have been planning for this and are well prepared. They absolutely ought to be, considering that the iPhone 4S could have had LTE and they've had essentially an extra year to prepare. I know accommodating the record setting number of users will be tough, but I think they'll manage.

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.

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.

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.

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.
