$649 for the 16GB off contract. Ouch. It's $399 (after rebate) with a two-year contract with 2GB of data at $39.99. It appears only to come in white. VZW's 16GB is $529 on contract but it's LTE and 2GB of data in $10 less. The $399 seems aggressive but you'll end up paying $960 for data over two years. Getting a UK 3G and using it on AT&T still works out much cheaper.
They did a good job on the micro-site.

do you have an ODIN ROM that you would recommend? CWM seems to work fine but I need the T-Mobile stock Kernel back. So if someone with a t-mobile 10.1 tab could install CWM... make a nandroid backup... and send it to me... that would help me out a LOT.

I'm looking to check out and probably pick up one of the T-Mobile units later today. I'm wondering what root method to use as the ones I've seen have all indicated they're for the wifi units.
I've rooted all but one of my phones so point me in the right direction and I can probably provide you with a nandroid backup if you don't have one by the time I'm up and running.
Thanks.

I just bought a verizon galaxy tab and I'm wondering if I should have gone with a different carrier. I was given the money for one as a gift and I just went to the verizon store and picked one up without doing any research. I don't really care about the quality of the service as I will only be using wifi. My question is are there advantages/disadvantages to going with a certain carrier? Are some easier to root and flash? Which version has more choices as far as roms are concerned? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The best two models are the Tmobile or AT&T. Reason being is that both offer 16 GB of internal memory plus another 32 GB with the addition of external memory card. Verizon and Sprint only have 2gb internal memory. Additionally if you are into using a custom firmware there are quite a few for Tmobile and AT&T. Not so much for Verizon or Sprint.

Also forgot to mention that Verizon crippled the bluetooth on the Tab. I don't believe anyone has been able to get a bluetooth keyboard or mouse to work. I have a apple keyboard paired up with mine AT&T Tab.

Great post cbb77
I agree if money isn't a concern go with the Att version ($650) since you can hack it to get 3g along with voice calling. You can also turn it into a full computer experience by using a bluetooth keyboard with it just like its a laptop
If you don't care about using voice calling with the Tablet I'd go with the T-mobile version.
Of course... I would REALLY wait until the next gen tablets come out in a month or two
Well this blows. I knew I should have done some research first. I just got it today so I have 14 days to return it but they're going to charge me a $70 restocking fee. I would really like to enable voice calling and I already have cell phone service through att so I think i'll return it and go get an att version. I wonder if I can complain about the blue tooth and get the $70 waived?

Is the software upgrade only supporting the 4g connectivity? I was under the impression it was a general upgrade and would include support for things like SD cards.
Also, while I am not on the Verizon plan, I still want hw/sw upgrade so my device is current. This statement from that forum mod seems to indicate that if you aren't paying Verizon, Motorola isn't going to upgrade you:
All Motorola XOOM tablets on the Verizon Wireless network are eligible to receive an upgrade to support 4G LTE.

I have from a very good source, anyone who purchased a 3G "Verizon" Xoom is eligible for the 4G upgrade since they technically paid for it with the price of the device. Rooted or not you will get the upgrade, and data plan or not you will get the upgrade.
You don't have to have a Verizon plan.

Ill probably never even activate the radio. How often is there an emergency for "on-the-go" data, really? But since I did pay for the upgrade I guess ill have to send it in. Ahh! They just better send it back to same exact condition it was in. Im very anal about my electronics and if I see one little nick, or mess up my screen protector, they're gonna here it from me. Lol!

I would take pictures before you send it in. so when you get it back and if its damaged you can prove it. Take the pictures of right before you tape the box to send it in. So that they cant say the picture is from 2 weeks before you sent it in or something. Doubt they will damage it but if you want to be really cautious.

I preordered the AT&T version but thinking about changing to this. Will the AT&T version get roms (like CM10) or will it be too difficult for devs? Also, does the AT&T version have any AT&T branding on it!?

It's also not 10am EST yet. May have something to do with whether or not it shows up in their system.
I'm going with this one because of the great price(64gb) and unlocked bootloader.
I cancelled my preorder with handtec, worth the extra 1 week wait.
I wish I could get this in Canada
Does anyone know about the international warranty status of the Dev Edition?
Anything different from regular warranty?
I'm really on the fence here. I love the idea of owning a limited edition dev phone from HTC, but I don't really need 64GB of storage and the price just seems unreasonable right now since there's the $100 trade in offer and free accessories form AT&T and T-Mobile when you pre-order through them.
I really need someone to clarify this for me. Does Dev phone will get HSPA+/4g and LTE or it will only get 2g and LTE in some area?

That's right. Depends on if the area you're in has been refarmed for 1900mHz
how does the preorder work? do they charge your card for the full amount or preauthorize a small amount and then charge the rest when it ships?
So where are they? They just added the sprint and Tmobile versions to the HTC US Sales site. No dev.

Hi,
I am planning to buy an AT&T S4 and then terminate the contract early by paying of the fee.
Once the device is unlocked will I be able to run it on T-Mobile as well ? I know one of the HSPA+ bands is not available on the AT&T device, so will only the HSPA+ speeds be affected or will I still be able to use the phone on LTE/EDGE ?
Also, from what I read in the forums, there is a bootloader lock on the device, is that easily bypassed ? cause I want to run the Google play edition ROM/Slimbean /CM ROM on this phone.
Thanks
What do you mean, break the contract?

I mean by paying off the 325 early termination fee.
Let me give you some advice. Instead of trying to "break contract" with AT&T, why don't you just buy a T-Mobile s4 which already comes with an unlocked bootloader out of the box. I know it may cost a little more for the T-mo s4 but believe me, it's going to cost you a lot more later in life if you decide to go the route of stealing, I mean breaking contact from AT&T.

Guys, there's nothing wrong with doing this. It's all legal, and aboveboard. It's what the early termination fee is there for.
That said, I wouldn't do it myself. Using this route, the cost would be $200 for the phone + $36 activation fee + $325 early termination fee = $561 total. The outright cost for a T-Mobile S4 is $580. That's a hell of a lot of trouble to go to to save $19. Especially since you end up with a locked bootloader.

That's what I have been trying to explain before the lynching . I am no trying to do anything illegal here.
Phone is $100 currently That's $461 compared to the TMobile $670 (580 phone + 40 Tax + 50 first month service)
Anyway, please ignore all the above. I'll just stick to the technical questions
It would be helpful if someone could let me know if currently there is anyway past the locked bootloader ?
How are people able to load custom ROMs ? and is it possible to activate AWS band on it ?
Thanks

Don't forget to add in a month of service with AT&T - Voice and Data - they want their 2 lbs of flesh as well.
As for your other questions - did you read any of the threads in the forums? The ones about loading ROMS or activating Tmo bands?
But as others have said, if you want to run on TMO, it may be worth the cost to not have a locked boot loader. The exploit being used may be patched, and some have created quite the issue trying to unlock and such. If your time is not worth money, then save some $$$$ - but I would spend the extra and go for official unlocked. Maybe even the google version since you are basically buying it outright.
The information you ask for is all here at the top of this forum and the general forum.

The bootloader lock is fairly easy to baypass right now. But, that could change in the future, with a software update.

Thank you that's informative.
However, I'm wondering, once custom kernels and ROMs are loaded, doesn't AT&T lose all control. I mean if you don't want the stock update from AT&T and you already have everything enabled, how will they be able to disable the bypass?

I have a few follow-up questions in regards to the topic of using an AT&T S4 on T-Mobile. Aside from having to bypass the locked bootloader, are there any other disadvantages to using an AT&T S4 on T-Mobile that can't be overcome? I know that you can unlock the AWS bands, so does that mean that an AT&T S4 can end up functionally exactly the same as a T-Mobile S4?
Nexus 4 16GB is about $250 from Google Play. Everywhere else without a contract it is more than $300? Am I missing something? Does the one bought from Google Play work at all the major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and the small places like MetroPCS, etc?)
The price drop is recent and T-Mobile at least was trying to gain capital by over pricing the phone. The Play Store version is the exact same as the T-Mobile minus some coding that makes it be seen as a T-Mobile device. It is already unlocked. The one I have was bought from a guy that got it from a store. It works with any SIM I put in. By yours from the Play Store, don't get ripped off!

There is zero difference between the T-Mobile Nexus 4 and Play Store Nexus 4. The software and hardware is exactly the same.
Yup just got one from the Google website Cut down the SIM card, put it in and everything work.
Tmobile still want about $435 fire one.
☞Sent from here☜
Also until the price drop it wasn't that much more. $350 vs $428. That's a $78 difference. Or $3.25 a month to make 24 monthly payments on it instead of buying it out right.
Go to any rent to own store and you're paying almost 2x retail.
Now at $250 you would be silly to buy it from T-Mobile. Expect a price change soon, especially when the N5 comes close to launch.

The phone you are using doesn't matter. There were a large batch of sims a long time ago that had trouble activating with that plan online (and you are suppose to only be able to activate the plan online). But generally it is not an issue. Worst case is you have to spend time on the phone with T-Mobile CSR. Just make sure you get a SIM activation kit, not just a "SIM".
