I was on lunch today at tmobile checking out their plan prices. One of the reps came up and asked what service you on? I said Sprint and she immediately went on this rant on how sprint is slow, ouch

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

Are u using signal 2 to verify that?

 

no... I just see the signal strength change multiple times from -67 to -106 to having 3G to not having 3G and so on. It's my assumption I guess. Since this area has so many towers.

That's strange because I have a ton of towers too and my sig strength doesn't do that too much. Turn off LTE

I had exact same issue but after nv upgrades near by, I have stable 75-80

Looks like a new tower just went online somewhere in Rego Park. I got the signal all the way in Elmhurst at Junction and Corona. It should be visible on sensorly soon.

So far so good awesome phone...screen is great and build quality is amazing. As long as you can live with 32gb, and no removable battery your golden..

 

I already live with 16GB and a smaller non removable battery. I think it'll be fine!

32gb is enough for most people. Why did u choose the one over the s4?

Build quality, better screen and the speakers on this thing are crazy! The only thing i am weary about is the battery life since i had an extended 4000mAH battery on GS3

The build quality I agree with u. Aren't the s4 and one both 1080p?

The one thing I hate about using the iPhone is the non removable battery. I always carry a portable charger with me

Yes that is a big minus, but i am really banking on signal strength finally stabilizing and improving battery life on a day to day basis

Because anyone who doesn't care about battery or expandable memory is getting "One". Most reviewers claim that it is better than the GS4, and that Samsung is starting to go the Apple route. I've even heard it being called the best 1080p smartphone for 2013.

Yeah the galaxy is overrated just like the iPhone was. Htc is trying to get back into the leader. All in all, it's a good thing. More competition, better phones from apple and Samsung.

 

I could assure u, that if Samsung and htc were not around, the iPhone 5 would not have LTE and a bigger screen

Unfortunately most people barely realize HTC exist, that was pretty evident this morning when i went to grab the phone, it was a ghost town..and according to the person that took care of me they are expecting a huge showing for the GS4.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're price for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
