I wonder if the Google Edition ROM will be an easy swap into the regular version once you're rooted.

That seems to be the case with the both GS4 and HTC One GPE phone's.

Guys, the official training video from LG sent out to sprint store employees spends a bit of time talking about it being triband. I really wouldn't worry.   Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4

Very limited time with it today. Obviously the device is not activated so I can't do to much as far as band selection and such. Also I don't have the MSL. Nothing in the quick start guide about

My wife and I ordered two last night form Best Buy (pretty hard to pass up $100 and $50 gift card).

 

We didn't have line items stating that there was a gift card on our purchase (we bought separately to ensure we both got gift cards).

Can anyone else confirm that their online purchases didn't have a gift card line item?

There was no mention of the gift card in the order confirmation for me. I just keep checking my email to see if it comes.

I'm guessing you won't get the gift card code until the product ships.

I read the fine print of the deal, it said within 14 business days.  

 

Now that could mean 14 business days after it ships.

But is that within 14 days of payment, which I believe occurs just before it ships? I haven't read it myself. But it would be nice if they did give the gift card before the device ships.

Unfortunately, Best Buy doesn't seem to have an accessories available for the G2, so the gift card is of small concern for me. I am more pleased with paying the same as someone activating a new line with Sprint. It has always bothered me having to pay double the price for an upgrade compared to someone coming off the street.

Best Buy charged me as soon as I placed my order on Friday.

Did they fully charge you or just put a hold for the amount of the order? The transaction still shows as Pending on my Chase credit card, for example.

It's showing as pending for me as well, but with the holiday yesterday, I am not surprised by that.

I bought out my Sprint contract for early upgrade eligibility, then used my Best Buy Reward Zone Premier Silver certificates to go with the klan of white G2 pre orders.  White power!

You do not question the "purity" of the Grand Dragon.

Are you gonna swap back and forth between your previous handset? Or will you just be ONE OF US with the G2?

The Grand Dragon is also the Grand Wizard. You do not question -- unless you are one if those who supports phone miscegenation.

The authorization will fall off until they actually ship the item.  Best Buy put an auth through on my card when I pre-ordered the xbox one for the full amount, but it dropped off after a few days.

I did not question your skills Master AJ-WWAN, I do not discriminate against phone co-mingling.

However, once you go black you come running back (finger prints).

I bought that same case for my wife's G2. She likes the Commuter that she has had on her 3D. I just don't trust the level of protection compared to the Defender that I have on mine.

I don't like the defenders because the rubber shell starts to gets loose and not fit around the hard piece all the way. Also the parts that cover the ports start to tear up also.

      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 priced 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....
