QWIKSTRIKE

I saw this map, and I am anticipating the release However; I wont be getting a Phone until after the SGIII drops so I can Choose between that and the EVO LTE. Who ever has the best radio is going to get my hands wrapped around it. LOL The one tower that's near 95I am guessing is in the Parkchester area of the Bronx ware in January I received over 1mb up and down on 3G. Phonedog has a review of the SGIII that has my attention not withstanding the specs of 1.9 ff camera 2gigs of ram, and possiblr better radio on paper.....SGIII looks promising!

I am waiting too, but I was in the Throgsneck area and got a Wimax 15mbs down today....I can't wait to see what LTE offers

Who received the LTE message concerning roll out of the service in the primary 1st markets?

I hope you won't be disappointed, because if it works like the EVO 3D worked for me on launch day you will have paid for a lemon. I would have waited rather than to have paid for an update and not be happy. You could have waited to make sure there were no bugs, or any other issues rather than to pay to be an early adopter of a bug plagued device and possibly not be happy with it. Sprinted sent me an early update to buy the EVO 4G LTE, and I passed, for shits and giggles I tried to do that with the SGIII and it says my update isn't until July 1st, thjs is because I exchanged my EVO 3D for the Photon on that date. ROFL I wont buy anything now until at least august I think...what ever works, and is bug free I will buy. If I want a MM device I can settle for iProducts! lol

On paper who has better antenna signal frequency strength the EVO LTE or the SGIII

Best post yet....go hate elsewhere ROFL....this is what I like about this forum....more respectful meaningful post and no trolling!

Bought that junk Startac presidential flip phone 700.00 now its hard for them to let you have a phone no contract even if you buy full price,,,,what a joke I remember those phones especially the Q....remember Sony's phone rofl

Damn that's so right...not like it was when we were kids just pay the neighbor or a friend. I read somewhere a neghbor reported a neighbor for sitting for her friend of 20 years to the tax man.....now that's hate there rofl!

You are quite right That is a typo and should be 15 years...I joined the 1st month that they opened!. The main reason to be with them so long is their competitive pricing. As a phone used for business I was spending way more with AT&T and .10 a minute got me to join no hesitation even if I was able to write my bill off they were the best game in town price wise with coverage way better than AT&T then

I am faced with a decision to upgrade now or wait to the end of the year. This will be my last upgrade as a Premier 17 year customer. Since The end of the year may have "better" technology implemented it may not be a bad idea. I like both the EVO 4G LTE, and the SGIII, however radio signal of the best is the one I will buy regardless of user features. That said my Photon has great signal, but poor MFG software support. Antenna wise the EVO probably is better than the Samsung if past data is indicative of future data. lol One thing for sure is the EVO 3d early buy last year has killed my enthusiasm to buy any thing early since there is only 15 days to discover catastrophic flaws rendering the phone inoperable until a software fix is rendered. So I was thinking that maybe I should wait until years end to buy the most technologically advanced phone to last for 2 years. So far the EVO LTE has SVDO, and "HD voice" edges out the SGIII without "HD voice"

Did they turn on in Brooklyn yet

I wonder how the Antenna signal will be on this phone....loving the SVDO possibilities. It's about time Samsung got its launch act together....launching on all carriers at once should boost sales. I hope Google is learning from this with the Nexus launch. Will all carrier versions have SVDO

The context of my OP was about the many reported GPS issues, and connectivity that the Samsung variant phones seems to be plagued with; which can lead to dropped calls focusing on the connectivity to CDMA. However; I do agree about him not having any issues not being negated by the claims of issues. The Verizon link has complaints of dropped calls, and I could post many more links that reference that but I don't feel the need. The complaints are so wide spread that even if people report no issues the many complaints and admitted Carrier address fix's cloud the user experience from Samsung for pretty much every CDMA phone that they have sold I have found. If Samsung had great radios they probably rule smart phones no doubt! I agree about the challenge of deciding which phone and about him not having any issues being negated by the claims of issues, but I think I may go with the EVO, or try to hold for a Galaxy Nexus 3 "if" there are no connectivity issues! I'd like to see what Moto has to offer as well.

Wow....does the fact that You haven't had any issues take away from what has been reported by many thread's of complaints on tech sites. Not to mention many Tech sites reviews state that there is a reception issue with Samsung phones. Be realistic please....I posted a truthful factual occurrence, and if you research I think you will find I speak the truth. The 4.04 upgrade is suppose to fix these little bugs and, I am sure Sprint's connectivity issue is solved or in the works! http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-galaxy-nexus-receiving-important-update-connectivity-issues-begone-81201/ http://androidcommunity.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-significant-signal-issues-arise-20111216/ https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/756662 http://androidandme.com/2012/04/smartphones-2/sprints-galaxy-nexus-users-reporting-data-connectivity-issues-fix-already-in-the-works/

Why keep 4G Wiamx phones when 4GLTE phones are on the horizon this makes perfect sense

All of this may very well be true until you decide to make a phone call. There have been so many reported Galaxy/Samsung radio GPS problems that I say let the buyer beware. Look at that drama with Verizon, and Sprint radio issues. CDMA and Samsung don't mix well for some reason......looks good but dropped calls due to poor signal connectivity makes it just a multimedia device!

Time to let Apple know how much they suck! I will never buy iProducts LMAO.
