Well yea inside of all of the buildings. But most of the time I'm in downtown Kent, stow, or Akron. And I pull about. .05-.45 mbs down depending on the time of day

Yeh, those speeds suck. I hope to see significant improvement in the coming months.

We can only hope we see Lte in the coming months, I got to school at KSU and I'm unable to use the network at all

Cant you use wifi on campus?

Apparently the q does have some bugs. My wife has been complaining that it just does things on its own. At first i thought it was just user error ... maybe not.

Jim, Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

Right, I gathered that from one of Robert's posts. He also mentioned buggy

 

Unfortunately, the current options for phones with keyboards are pretty limited

Are you saying the Q is as bad as the viper? My wife has the Q and i have the original photon. While mine seems to have a little better reception, the Q still seems like a decent phone. There are several others here with the Q. What say you guys? Is it as bad as the viper?

Lte hotspots might not need to "hand off" as much as a phone since they may not be moving as much when they are in use. Just saying ... maybe.

Well said aj.

Does anyone expect to get the moto dvx from republic wireless? It is supposed to be a cheaper version of the moto x.

Good luck robert.

i agree... i feel like android and iOS are the dominant OS's for a reason. i ment i think i would be cool to offer it... but NOT as a flagship phone...

I dont mind them using a flagship phone ... but dont call it a galaxy ... give it a new name.

Do not scratch that itch. Rest assured, it has to do with partisan politics.

Can't we go anywhere without politics?

Roaming -- or its absence.

 

AJ

Looks like roaming is in. Tethering maybe not.

I no longer hate Ohio!

 

What does ohio have to do with it?

Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

Sounds even better than ting. What is the downside?

Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

I have both photon's the 4g and the "q". The original 4g does seem to have better radios, larger usable screen and more built in memory than the q. Otherwise i like both phones.

Lilg, i agree with you. Most of us dont need a top of the line "bleeding" edge product. Tri-band support is something i could go for.

Really interesting blog post about where Ting customers come from:

30% Verizon

28% Sprint

21% AT&T

12% T-Mobile

9% Other

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I thought with the byod it would be a lot more from sprint than it is.

Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

I love that their reasoning is to better compete with Sprint. Cool to see they are now viewed as a threat.

Do you think dish will bid on this just to screw it up?

Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

But it got at least 1 software update

True

That explains why my hair keeps falling out

Is that what happened to mine? Lol

I think the average tower reaches approximately 797.624 miles. But, again, this is just an estimate. ; o )

I am pretty sure i read somewhere that it is actually 797.6238999. Just saying ...

I went to a AT&T store to play with the Moto X because I was curious about the phone. The screen itself is 4.7 inches but the Moto X uses onscreen buttons for home, back and multiwindow which take up some screen real estate. I took out my Moto Photon which is 4.3 inches and measured it up minus the onscreen button space and sure enough the true screen size of the Moto X is only 4.3 inches. I was pretty bummed out about that.

 

I wish Sprint would start giving out release dates already for the Moto X and LG G2. Verizon and AT&T are already selling the Moto X and we know the Moto X has already passed the FCC testing.

Eric, at least that is better than the photon q. The q has a smaller usable screen them our photon g's.

I haven't read through this but I stopped back at my work today and the moto guy was there so I got to play with the x uninterrupted.

I checked out the debug and diag screens and they do work on this phone. I also got to play around with all the features and what not and this phone is going to be awesome. How it integrates with all the Google Apps will make this a powerhouse for the casual to semi serious phone user.

Hope it has awesome reception like the photon g. Has anyone got any info on that?

Sent from my Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2

it would be nice to have 4 players but is that realistic considering the market?

3 is still much better then 2. tmo is going to have a hard time competing against new sprint + att and vzw.

The 4th player might end up as dish/tmo/lightsquared/ntelos ... lol
