maybe they need to make room for the WHITE skyrocket.

YES, just saw this on engadget and ordered myself up a shiny new Skyrocket! It'll be a huge upgrade over my Nexus One. I'd been hoping for the Galaxy Nexus on AT&T, but that'll likely be $250-$300 on contract... too hard to pass up $0.01.
The deal works great for me since I've ported my number to google voice, I can easily add a new line and the new phone number doesn't matter since I just point GV to the new number. My current line is out of contract so I just cancel it when the skyrocket arrives and I should only be out the penny!

yup returning mine under BRE as soon as the amazon one comes in

That's one cent too much for what that phone's worth. Meaning if you can't use LTE why bother. Might as well get the regular S2.

I jumped on the penny deal from amazon to pick up an ATT one.
I didn't opt for the wireless tethering/hotspot hoping that I can root and get the Wireless Tether App running correctly.
*cross fingers*

Ordered mine last night. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast

I guess there's no trick to getting around the requirement that you be a new customer or add a new line?
I've been with AT&T for 10 years and have 3 lines with them. You'd think they'd reward loyalty more.

I need to get aquainted with this google voice. Ive been hearing about it for years now and never took the time to give it any attention, lol.
Anyway, I just ordered one today!!! They moved the shipping up to one day instead of 2 day for free I guess considering Thursday is Thanksgiving.
I'm coming from an iPhone 4 and I'm pretty excited to be coming back to Android (I haven't posted here for a while either, yikes. Good to be back).

This right here ^

Ordered mine yesterday. Will be here today. Only worried I keep hearing that samsung's in house SoC is better and this won't get much in ROM support.
The size, fact that I'll have a LTE phone when it's here & the price sold me though

Samsung's SoC is better but Qualcomm has a better radio. What's more important to you?

The radio, I live in a area that is quick to get network updates so I'm sure LTE will be here sooner than later

Ordered two of these a couple days ago! Bigger screen and faster processor than the standard S II! Just got them an hour ago, at the doc with my wife right now. Tried setting them up but data won't work, gotta take them to a store after the doc. They are fast! I won't miss my inspire haha

The UPS guy just dropped mine off an hour ago and I am already in love with it. The large screen is drop dead beautiful and it's incredibly fluid...despite comments that it's laggy (though, all phones get laggy at some point, I just think most of those came from people that were s2 processor snobs ).
I am coming from an iPhone 4 but I'm already pleased with this beast (still love my iPhone and iOS but that's another story but I've always loved both operating systems -Android/iOS-). Can't wait to fully enjoy it and set it up however I want/need.

Who says that you cannot use LTE? I live in the Bay area which does not have LTE (will be here next year) but I was in Chicago recently that had blazing LTE speeds. Yes, AT&Ts LTE network is thin right now but it would not be so by the end of 2012

Damn Amazon sent the phones late yesterday so me n wifey won't get our new phones until Monday... -_-

VZW Promotion thought Id share

hey guys, ive been here for over a year now and finally have decided to move on to another phone.
I read somewhere on the internet that VZW would let you downgrade your plan to 6gb a month and receive a subsidized priced phone. I inquired about this and was informed that this deal was only availble via the Edge program. I quickly said no thank you and moved on. Today I called back and explained why I didnt want the edge program and the rep agreed with me about my points about edge.
He was able to downgrade my plan to 6gb monthly for the same price. Ive never gone over 2gb and was wanting to keep my unlimited plan out of principle, not need.
So all in all I got my HTC one coming in sometime this week and Im really excited about it. I just thought Id share here

meh. it worked out for everyone IMO.

I'm going to buy an LG G2 today, it was nice being on the S3 but the lack of updates & no 4.2.2 touchwiz ROMS I have to get something up to date. The G2 is the best phone out besides the Galaxy Note 3, so I want that.

I'd probably consider doing the same if I didn't use my LTE to supplement my home internet at times. For some odd reason 12Mb down and 1Mb up isn't good enough for a decent Skype video call... It's horrendous. I find myself tethering my LTE for this. I don't go crazy overboard like some people, but I do go over 6GB.
Grats on getting the Max promo without participating in the stupid edge ripoff.

I'll be getting a galaxy note 3 in December as my Christmas present to myself I won't be dealing with Verizon's bull and I'll be keeping my unlimited. I use about 4 gig a month at work due to ****ty internet my boss refuses to get rid of despite customers and employees complaints.

They didn't really do you a favor. They are doing amazing things now to get people off unlimited. Glad it worked for you and if anything we can learn from this is that even Verizon is willing to negotiate... especially when you're giving up unlimited data

[Q] Tmobile & Nexus 5

So I currently have Verizon. I saw that T-Mobile has a way to get me out of my contract (pay my ETF). However, I've heard that T-Mobile isn't that good, so I've come here to ask anyone who has T-Mobile and the Nexus 5... How is their service? How is the phone? Is it worth switching to T-Mobile for the Nexus 5 vs keeping my Verizon Moto X.

if youre in a city, or around one, tmobile is awesome. if you live in the country, its a different story. service is great here in nyc, the fastest lte speeds from any provider here. its much less expensive than verizon, and completely unlimited high speed data speeds. oh, and the nexus 5 is awesome

T-Mobile is great in the city, but kind of sucks in the country.

Yeah, that makes sense.

You guys wouldn't happen to have any clue as to the trade-in credit would you? I have a VZW GS4 and a Moto X Dev to trade for T-Mobile for the "get out of my contract" thing, and I can most likely get $0 down on the Nexus', but I want to put forward atleast $200 on each phone in advance with the trade in credit. I mean these phones are not even a month old, and they are in mint condition so could anyone knowledgeable give me a rough estimate of what I should expect? it goes up to $300 apparently, and I should get that or over $200 for the Galaxy, but even if I only get 200 for the moto, I'd still be happy.

Ah okay because I've got a Galaxy S4 and a Moto X Dev Edition. They are in perfect condition (cases since day one), and I haven't even owned them for 30 days so hopefully I'll atleast get 200 each.
Honestly I'm just switching to Verizon because they don't have the Nexus 5. The monthly price decrease is just a perk.

You should know that tmoblie only offers the 16gb version. I have tmoblie and got my N5 from gplay cuz I want 32gb. I live in central va. I drive all over alllll over. In cities and urban areas like Richmond, Baltimore and DC I get LTE 30 plus. Surrounding suburbs are the same. In places like boweling green, south hill I get G and E. I also visit family in pasco Fl and the Boone's Vt. In FL it's 30 plus. In Vt , new Hampshire no service at all.
P.S all I needed down was 60 bucks

Well I live in Pasco so thats good xD I would buy it from GPlay, but unfortunately the terms of the switch plan for them to pay the ETF is to get a phone they have, thus I have to get the 16GB. but doesnt the Meenova SD card reader work with the N5?
I'm not one to complain about the size of the phone though either way because I only put a few albums and a few apps.

I get around 32 at Hudson beach area. At the island I was get around 16 but that's almost 3 miles off the coast.

Well as far as coverage goes it looks good. Also, you can get the phone's unlocked after 90 days of service as long as your in good standing and your device is paid in full right? I mean just in case, I would like to know. I couldn't find much info on their website about this, and I've gotten mixed answers from the local stores I've called. One guy said they are locked to tmobile, another said 90 days, and on google i found a site that said 40 days.

I just did exactly that.
T-mobile is hit and miss. It really depends on where you live.
It works GREAT where I live.As long as I stay out of the hills (i'm guessing, haven't had to go up there since I switched over) I'd say T-Mobile's coverage is actually better than VZW here.
We got $100 for each of our S3's (16GB) and like $46 for my daughter's like 4 month old iphone 4.
My store told me they'd unlock after 90 days of good payment history if you call and ask.
And BTW, they have an estimator on their website you can use.

Yeah but the estimator gives me some unwanted prices. I did talk to a rep and they said the price can go up depending on the condition but in any case, I'm going to get the Nexus 5. As far as the Nexus 5 being unlocked, is that true? I mean I could literally buy it from T-Mobile and if i dont like the service i can pay it off quick and just go to straight talk?

[Q] Who is upgrading to the S7 or S7 Edge?

Today was the big unveil of the 2 new Galaxy S7 devices - 5.1" S7 and 5.5" S7 Edge.
Visually, there isn't much change. But from the inside, quite a bit.
Will you be upgrading to one of the new Galaxy S7 devices?
I, for one, will be going to Best Buy on Tuesday to place my preorder.
I'm gonna go with the S7 Edge for its many improvements over my S6E:
-Better SD820 SOC
-4GB of RAM
-Bigger screen but still one-handeable (for me) with its 72 mm width & curved back
-Better camera with faster autofocus & low light performance
-Fast wireless charging
-3600 mah (!) battery
-microSD support
-IP68 water resistance
-Change of scenery with the silver titanium color
I'm eligible to renew a new 2-yr contract after paying a $250 early upgrade fee, which I'll recoup after selling my S6E.
Anyone else doing the upgrade?
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

I'll be upgrading after 4/1 when I am eligible to. Haven't decided which one yet, but probably the edge

LG or Nexus. Only way to get timely updates .

S7E may be sexy, but don't expect any Dev support. Smartphone-wise, I've been playing in these forums with the 6600, 6700, vogue, mogal, touch pro, touch pro 2, diamond, evo 4g, evo 3d, m7, S3, note2, m8, g3, s5, and s6 edge. All Sprint variants. It used to be normal to see 10-15 new ROMs each day on those phones. Now that smartphones are even more common than over a decade ago, I would expect activity to have blossomed significantly. Instead, developer interest and activity had been extraordinarily weak.
You can thank Samsung for most of that, and their wonderful Knox system, but also it seems that the Sprint forums don't have the stream they used to. Very disheartening.
So if you're eyeballing a new Samsung phone, you better like it plenty without root and without any customizations.

Only chance of getting custom roms and stuff is getting the full unlocked variant.

This thread alone is a good indicator of how much dev support/community interest there will be for the Sprint variant S7. G3 -> G4, M7 -> M8 threads would have had 100+ posts by now.
Luckily these phones are PRETTY GOOD stock-- I feel much better than some of those older phones, but not as good as they became after root. My biggest complaint is that I want AirAudio to work, and that requires root. Very frustrating. I still find it nuts that we don't get true administrative rights to our own phones. Could you imagine if you bought a laptop, and you weren't allowed to log in as Administrator or root? That wouldn't fly for a second!

The only reason I'm on Sprint is the unlimited data. As I understand it, I'll technically lose that when I sign a new lease, or whatever. I believe they are trying to get rid of grandfathered unlimited data people. Until then, I'll probably stick with 'em.

Nexus 6p will be my weapon of choice next time, switching to project fi as well, need the front facing speakers that I had with the m8 downside is lack of sd card but will get larger storage to make up for it

After 10 yrs of Loyal Sprint service they cancelled my service for to much "unlimited data" usage (I was at a 2 yr low when they did)!
Too much "unlimited data"? Yep, I later found out that they monitor anything over 20gb!
Basically they screwed me and I'll take any chance to bash their weak network!
Oh well, the network is crap and data speeds can't even compete with Tmo!
You'll be happy with the upgrade of phone and carrier!
How have you been btw?

Seems like you were abusing the network if you were consistently going over 20gb each month. Sounds like you were tethering. Anyhow, when you compare to the other carriers, Sprint still has the best data rates, and most lenient 'unlimited' plans.

just pre-ordered my v20 through t-mobile.

so exactly at 12 i called up t-mobile and pre-ordered my v20. the price of the phone is $769.99. i also took advantage of the free tablet offer. getting an LG G Pad X 8.0. looking forward to that. never really had a tablet. definitely going to root it and unlock it. in t-mobiles system they only had the titan color, which is what i wanted anyways. can't wait to finally have the phone in my hand....

X 8.0 is a decent tablet and you will love it.
It's rootable with dz and LGUP.
I will pay off and trade in my V10 for it.

Hmm.. I'm a bit too tired to call T-Mobile, but their website shows nothing thus far.
I'm still very hesitant.. I don't mind waiting a bit to see if LG will allow an official bootloader unlocker for the H915. But T-Mobile phones have been unlockable in the past. I don't know which one will see more developer action

If you log into MyT-Mobile you can order it. I actually ordered mine 10 minutes before Midnight PST

I ordered through the website this morning. I'm sort of curious since the website doesn't have it as pre-order and it's showing a ship date of 10-17 to 10-24 and the phone as in stock. So I'm cautiously optimistic that I could have this thing in hand this week.

Going to walk into the local dealer and order at 10am. Figure I've bugged them long enough that I should. Also going to take advantage of the phone trade-in. I see online that there are two tablets available. Is the one you listed the better of the two?

Ordered mine through T-Mobile as well!! It's expected to ship as early as today; can't wait. I didn't do the tablet because the customer service said you had to keep the data plan open for 2 years, which makes it a not free tablet since the plan is $10 per month. I'll get the headphones whenever the phone gets in, though, so that's a plus! Definitely looking forward to getting this now that my Note 7 is gone and I'm back to my Note Edge that has a bunch of dead pixels
Just a note on this, I ordered through the web then called the customer support because the shipping upgrade I did hadn't processed properly. The person on the phone said the phone is already backordered as of just a few minutes after I ordered and that any new orders from this point forward likely won't ship until early November.
Now I just need to find a solid case and buy the stylus!!

Ordered mine through T-Mobile as well!! It's expected to ship as early as today; can't wait. I didn't do the tablet because the customer service said you had to keep the data plan open for 2 years, which makes it a not free tablet since the plan is $10 per month. I'll get the headphones whenever the phone gets in, though, so that's a plus! Definitely looking forward to getting this now that my Note 7 is gone and I'm back to my Note Edge that has a bunch of dead pixels
Just a note on this, I ordered through the web then called the customer support because the shipping upgrade I did hadn't processed properly.

So much for the tablet. I don't use much of the tethering I already have. I don't need another data plan.
And that's not cool that they're already sold out. I was going to trade in my N6 and use my cracked Note 3 until this got here but I'm not willing to use the Note 3 that long. LG has made us wait long enough. They really should have had more stock in country than this.

Still worth a shot! You may order at the same time that someone else cancels an order! Plus, the phone customer service person seemed to have thought that it had been on backorder for several hours already, so maybe they sell from a different pot of phones than the web does. Look at buying on the web as that's what I did and got a ship out date of this week. Definitely worth it, IMO. I'm sitting on a Galaxy Note Edge that has several green lines running down the screen until I get this one, lol

Just realized my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a 4G phone that I can trade in. And hoping you're right about separate pots but that's not usually the case.

I wonder if they have additional stock coming in that is not accounted for.

Unaccounted for? Probably not. Sounds like the next ones don't hit the country until well into November. Someone said they were quoted 11/15-12/15. I've yet to order mine. Heading to the store here in a little bit to do it. LG really keeps dropping the ball on this one. They better hope rumors of something really awesome don't hit before the V20 ships.

T-Mobile stores will have them in stock on release day. The ones being shipped to you through pre-orders will not cut into the stores stock.
For those of you being quoted a November ship date, just walk into a T-Mobile store on release day.

So it looks like you do have to be careful about which 4G phone you try to trade in. They just use a database and if your phone isn't in it, too bad. My Galaxy Nexus didn't make the cut so I'll have to send them my Nexus 6 instead. And just to note, they only apply the actual trade in value. (In my case $60) You have to fill out some promotion that I can't seem to find and they (LG?) send you a check for the rest of the amount. So for me, that would be the other $140.

Curious as to when that is?
Reason I ask, call me a conspiracy theorist if you must. T-Mobile is facing a potential customer dip due to the Note 7 fiasco. What better way to avert potential customer base loss (device lease fees etc.)by getting the V20 out as quickly as possible, primarily before the Google Pixel hits the streets... Do they actually have them in stock, or are they baiting customers? Seems odd to completely skip the "preorder" phase and go straight to "In-Stock" and shipping 17-24 October...
I am actually one of those folks, preordered the Pixel XL on October 4th which should be here this week. However, now with the V20 available I still have time to cancel my Google order and pick up the LG.
So now I have both on order and "technically" should have both by the end of the week. As outlined though, I doubt the V20 ships to anyone this week... Of course I could be way off base, but think the V20 thing is a tad more than coincidental...

I think the backorder situation on both phones is driven by the Note 7 fiasco. People are grabbing for the next best phones available.
Other than the battery issue, I think both phones are a step down from the Note 7.
I too was told early to mid November for delivery while my order acknowledgement says this week. I guess it'll be here when it gets here.

I just spoke with T-Mobile help on twitter. They checked my order and confirmed the 10-17 to 10-24 shipping date was correct. They're probably trying to get these out as quick as possible due to the Note 7 recall and the massive iPhone 7 back-order. I paid for overnight shipping, so I'm hoping that it really does ship today. I'll update in this thread as soon as I get a tracking number.

I just orderer mine via phone. Shipping date 10/17 to 10/24. He did not give me overnight shipping, i dont know if it will be cause of any delay. I'll update u guys as soon as i get any.

I'm wondering if we can have it added afterwards. Regular shipping is ground shipping, 7 days. Which means it is possible you might not get the phone until after it hits stores if it ships towards the end of the window.
