Probably a stoopid thread, but I can honestly say that this thing rocks!
Every smarty phone I've had to date had multiple things that made me go ARGGGGGHH.
my SIII has done everything I've asked of it. Bluetooth, data reception, wifi, phone reception etc has all been spot on.
Usually at some point on my previous phones I'd go.....wtf !?! But honestly, I have not said that yet. I've found that if it was unfamiliar or different than my previous phones, I usually like it once I figure it out.
Now Tmo's reception......not so good.
But I like Tmo though. After many bad experiences with other carriers, they've been a pleasure, over all, to deal with.
Positive rant over........
True. This phone is excellent. A joy to use and even after I have all my apps and settings loaded it is still lightning fast. Oh and the camera is great.

Well that s4 proceessor handles a lot of that too. Qualcomm deserves some credit.

A different experience compared to our G2x's isn't it? Loving mine so far. You're in Texas so you may like this. I found a nice case at the T-Mobile store that is silver. Combined with the blue phone it looks great and is Dallas Cowboys colors!

Well, mine won't do wifi tethering, FM radio, toggle LTE, or several other things. But that's all thanks to AT&T, not the phone itself

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.
doesn't ebay take part of your money?
bump...
..........
price? I already pm you.
Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."
ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.
I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?
not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested
hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.
I currently have an unlocked Touch Diamond on AT&T that I tether to my laptop and use very often for an internet connection since I live in an area where I cannot get anything other than dial-up over a line. I've seen that the international Hero has software from HTC for tethering in Windows, but I'm thinking that this is probably not the case with the branded phones here in the US, which is unfortunate since I'm no longer under contract and Verizon has better coverage in my hometown and surrounding area. Do people know of any tethering possibilities with the Eris?

Wow, it's not that I don't believe you, but this does almost seem to good and simple to be true. Are there a couple others with experience with this program that might be able to advise of potential pitfalls, or is this really as perfect for what I need as it looks?

Yes, I found PDAnet after hours of searching for a tethering solution and tried it. Works like a champ. I have had no issues to date using it. It also let me put my iPhone loving friend in his place.
So a CNN new report says that a Sprint Spokes Woman indicated that Sprint is looking to expand their network using this Technology.
"Sprint is talking to Alcatel Lucent about this technology and we will be working with them to test and evaluate it," a Sprint spokeswoman said. "We have been aggressive in smaller factor cell sites to help us support the growth in data traffic."
Full Article http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/21/technology/light_radio/index.htm
This seems like a very solid move for Sprint if all works out with this new technology, Cheaper to operate, faster data transmissions, and better signal all round.
Sprints all mixed up Hesses not sleeping well due to the merger news yesterday
Lucent was always forward thinking as a company when they were Bell Labs. Somehow, it's not surprising to me that this idea is coming from Alcatel Lucent's shop.
And that Sprint is thinking about using these devices shows one, that they know they need to upgrade their 'net, and two, they expect to offer unlimited data into the foreseeable future, especially if these towers-in-a-box prove as deployable as they appear.
Good move, Sprint!!

Best analysis I've heard yet.
Sprint is all over the place with news and speculation. I love it!
I'm actually very nervous about the ATT-T-Mobile move. If this move goes down, Sprint is guaranteed to remain the smallest of the major service providers. If this happens, does Sprint lose their wind, or does this kick them in the pants?

Its a mad scramble for a few.
I'm sure Google will soon have their wallet open inviting Heese over for dinner before apple does
Anybody notice that Box resembles the one in 'HellRaiser' ?
Dan better be careful lol
I dont know this has failure written all over it.
If they would just slap a few of these on the towers their problems would be solved

I hope to hell it doesn't go through. It would be bad for everyone including folks on Sprint, not to mention the people gobbled up from tmobile by ATT. There are still lawsuits going from when ATT and Cingular merged because of how ATT did the people that had Cingular. I just think prices would get higher and with less competition big red and ATT would nickel and dime everything even more than they do now and sprint wouldn't be able to hold out very long against 2 companies that would have 3 to 4 times the customers.

Wasn't it the other way around? Cingular bought out AT&T, AT&T disappeared then Cingular decided that AT&T was a more recognized name and changed their name to AT&T. If I'm wrong then sorry but it has been years.
I as well hope it doesn't go through it would sucks for tons of people

AT&T managers are a waste of human space. They treat their own employees like crap and do worse to their customers. A cap on usage? really!? yeah AT&T, go suck it. lol.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that this isn't in anyone's best interest, this deal is probably going to go through. Big business owns the US government. So, what Big Business wants, Big Business gets.
I especially like the idea AT&T is pushing, that this will provide improved use of spectrum. This from the company that is already failing to make full use of the spectrum they already have access to. They have also done a miserable job of network expansion, even though network congestion has been a thorn in their side for years. I wonder what makes the executives at AT&T think that having a larger, more neglected network will be good for them or us?

Don't feel bad. Mine isn't always much better. I am normally on wifi when I need to do web surfing or anything major. I see you are in Dallas which I guess I could understand the speeds because of major usage. I live in a small city and still get somewhat pathetic times, usually just a little bit faster than dialup.

Ouch. I have WiFi too, but it's also an unreliable POS because it drops out every ten minutes. I'm thinking of switching, but the only other carrier that has a decent signal is Verizon, but 5GBs of data is a killer. I often pass 6GBs on my EVO.

Is the wifi a hotspot problem or a phone problem? If it is a hotspot problem then I would flash an updated firmware for it. I had a linksys with that problem and the firmware fixed it. You could also try changing the wireless channel in the routers configuration.
It's a Sprint problem.
