I had a T-Mobile G2 from launch and just about killed it. I had to get a phone out of necessity and got the Samsung Galaxy nexus as a temporary replacement.
I really do not like this phone lol. I miss sense and was holding out in hopes of T-Mo getting the HTC one x+ but that didn't happen.
So I pose the question of should I get the T-Mobile one s or get an unlocked one from expansys or just wait it out. I live in an area that was refarmed to 1900mhz so I could get the one x+ or even a droid DNA if I manage to get an unlocked one.
But with those last two choices I'd have to be able to live with 3g instead of HSDPA.
I think I could probably get a free upgrade since I bought this phone unlocked from Google but I can't make up my mind. I also can't stand aosp anymore though. I really want sense lol.
Thanks in advance.

Are there any flagship devices headed to AT&T anytime in the near future from Sony?
I've been mulling over the HTC One but the Sony Z impressed me and I was hoping to see a Sony device that may compete with the HTC One on AT&T.
hi people
I have had a htc one and i updated ages ago to kit kat on three network, but not so long ago i broke the phone replacing it with the htc mini which I'm very pleased with as i prefer the size. Only thing is i brought a girly blue mini as it was a good deal for £200 brand new, it was unlocked and updated when i got it. today i found a deal on a brand new silver white version which i do prefer and pleased i brought it, but it was locked to EE which i unlocked for £2.50 from ebay what a deal.
I been trying to get it updated but found out EE haven't even pushed it through yet, can i flash this phone with a uk three Rom??? is this available??
Are all the phones the same apart from the custom network firmware and rom????
cheers j
Hey guys,
I am looking into getting the Sony Xperia Z3. I just have one quick question.
A while back I purchased the Xperia Z (C6602) from sony directly and I used it on tmobiles network. After purchasing the phone I found out that tmobile sold the (C6603). These phones are similar, however they do have different specs.
My main question is, is there any difference between the Xperia Z3 that tmobile is selling compared to the Xperia Z3 that is sold directly by sony? (other than the available colors)
Thank you for your help!!!

Two things primarily: The T-Mobile model has 32 GB of RAM vs. 16 GB and its bootloader is locked.

Also the T-Mobile one has LTE Band 12 which no other model has.
You mean 32gb storage, it has 3gb of ram
Tmobile version has band 12 and wifi calling.
And the T-Mobile is only in black and carrier branding...no thanks!

Reason I would reccomend, TMO version is the 14 day replacement/exchange period. I went through 3 and on 4th and possibly final one. If you buy from Sony directly you will be stuck without a device for weeks if you send it in due to defects only to probably get a refurbished one.
The TMO emblem is pretty conspicuous unlike Verizon so that should not be an issue.

I think you mean to say "inconspicuous" . Anyways I agree, looking at it, it's also a much lighter shade of gray/white than the Xperia or Sony logo, so it actually blends in quite well. There's also no T-Mobile branding on the front, which is really nice.
Hardware differences:
32GB Storage
T-Mobile Branding on back
Band 12
Software:
Bloat: http://imgur.com/oXLCzjj
Bloat not removed: wifi hotspot needs hotspot on plan, Device Unlock
Bloat that needs PM BLOCK: CarrierIQ
No bootloader unlock
I believe only the T-Mobile version has wifi calling.
You can opt out of Carrier IQ, the bloat is not so bad actually fewer than most carriers and they can all be disabled. For the extra 16GB its worth it. Only thing for you to care about is the boot-loader unlock. WiFi calling is also a plus.
i've been rolling on the s4 and was about to upgrade to the s6 until i started reading about the limitations of the s6. is there an alternate phone which can be rooted and unlocked that is comparable to the s6 that is either available now or in the near future?
I'm definitely going to consider the new Moto X or a new Nexus.
