At my apt, I pretty much never see above 3 Mbps anymore, and 75% of the time see below 2 Mbps. Not much better anywhere else in the city, minus a select few spots. Just tested at 1.7/4

Yeah, LTE first arrived here well over a year ago. There's only one tower left to be upgraded on the map (one farthest south in Laf.) that will ease the strain on the tower I ran those tests on, so when that happens, hopefully things will improve. None of those towers are marked on the map for 800 voice, but they are broadcasting (so at least some of them should be green). My phone switches to band 10 when I drop down into my basement IT office at work.

- Tears of sadness or tears of laughter, I don't know. This is what I see most of the time near my apt now. This sector can't handle anymore. lol

Went to Joliet for the NASCAR race on Sunday. Last year there was only a sniff of LTE in one corner of the track. This year, I had a very strong signal everywhere, but as soon as the place got busy, it became *completely* unusable. It took a solid 10 minutes to load a weather map. I gave up trying to check Facebook, Twitter, etc and didn't even bother with a speedtest. It was painful...and very disappointing.

Yes, that'll be nice when there are enough devices on the market and enough users migrated to them to see the benefits.

LTE in Lafayette, IN has slowed down drastically lately. At my apartment, I used to routinely see over 12 Mb down (no, I don't use it as my primary internet). For the last couple weeks, though, it's probably averaging 4-5, often times below 3 Mbps. I guess I sorta expected a drop, but not quite that severe.

I have a basement office (IT), and i'm close enough to a tower that my GS3 could still grab a very weak 4G signal (pulled a max of around 2 meg down). The One seems to have no trouble grabbing a decent 3G signal, but haven't coaxed 4G out of it down here like I could with the GS3. Of course, the GS3 spent most of it's time on 3G, but if I cycled airplane mode and held it up a bit higher I could grab LTE most of the time.

Point noted, however, just tack the word "data" or "EVDO" on the end of my post, unless they've begun deploying 800 for EVDO? I didn't figure anyone would be using the term "3G" by itself in reference to voice coverage here. My bad
-
800 mhz is CDMA/voice only, no 3G.

Yep, that's why Anandtech has been one of my favorite tech news & reviews site for years.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/03/21/htc-one-release-date-details-emerge-for-u-s/ Here's some news. Who knows how reliable of a source they have. Mid-April is about what I was expecting though.

It's all polycabronate, no aluminum.

Slightly taller? From the specs I've seen, it's the exact same height (136.6mm). GS3: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm GS4: 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm

Unibody is a plus for me, and the absence of a microSD slot (or removable battery) doesn't bother me.

Yeah I agree. Really surprised they fit that screen in a smaller phone. I'm still leaning towards the One, but i'm not ruling out the S4.
