Just wondering if anyone else still has their continuum in service through Verizon still or am I the only one still using it as my everyday mobile phone?

I have an upgrade avaliable but honestly I don't even know what phone to get next I really like my continuum so I have been hanging on to it.

My upgrade is coming up on black friday, and I think I may be ditching my continuum after all I've gone through with it.
Idk, maybe I'll stick with it for a little bit after that, but I'll probably be going to a galaxy nexus or a stratosphere.
Don't get strat. No ril released. My fiance had one and I started theming for it.
It is a good mid grade phone, though, just upset she broke it before I could play with it lol

Daily driver here too.. I like it because of its size.. I dont need a mini flat screen tv in my pocket.. I just wish cell phone manufacturers would stop making phones bigger and bigger. Its like cell phones are de-evolving..
Cellphones are getting bigger again... Next thing you know, TV's are gonna get smaller! Then computers are gonna be the size of a room again
This was not a good realization.
Still my one and only. It's size was the leading reason for me getting also. I don't like apples either.

Honestly I never came close to 2gb I think the most I have ever used is like 800mb the only way you really hit 2gb is if you stream music or watch movies using your 3g, when I do that I always connect to wifi. Whenever wifi is available I connect to it I though 3g was really slow so i never used it unless I had to.

My mom also had a continuum and I upgraded her phone today we ordered it offline and it came I upgraded it and the rep that did it didnt take away unlimited data so she still has it, so I guess is depends on who activates the phone for you.
If you buy a subsidized phone you have to upgrade, otherwise you still can keep unlimited data for now but I have heard even that will be going away soon to where everyone will have to upgrade.

I might be going to ATT pretty soon, if I do, I have a choice to make. They have a new phone coming out soon called the inspire, essentially the evo for ATT.
So I can wait until it comes out and give it a shot, or I can go with the Iphone since I've always wanted to try it out

I give you 14 days after you switch and you will come back to the darkside lol. From what I've heard from friends who all went to AT&T because of the iphone is that their service is absolutely terrible. Wished that they had never switched. But to each is own. Good luck with your future endeavors.
If you plan on going on at&t get the iphone. The iphone is great for hacking and you'll have less trouble breaking it when you do. I mean, once you jailbreak it, you're pretty much set on the idea of it getting bricked. I had a jailbroken ipod touch, and it was great. Never had a problem at all.
And reverting back is so simple; you just have to update it on itunes!

I would not get the iPhone 4 at this point. The iPhone is due for an update this summer, so you might as well wait for the iPhone "5" then. IMO, Odin is as easy to restore as iTunes is, just a little more complicated at first glance. Also, if you are in to jailbreaking(rooting essentially)/unlocking your iPhone when you get it, you will have to be very knowledgable with terminology, like "tethered, baseband unlock (if you want that), SHSH, etc." iTunes makes it *very* easy to update your phones firmware, which can be a bad thing if you are into jailbreaking. An accidental update may keep you un-jailbroken/carrier-locked until a new exploit/tool is released.
I suggest educating yourself with the estimated release of the iPhone 5, and everything to do with jailbreaking/unlocking. Enjoy.

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic
Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.
There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

They can tell by the packet data, and as far as I know, there's no way for you to stop them from tracing it and finding out.
I would have thought that using a vpn would do the trick but Im not to sure, when I renewed mine I saw a few for about $40-$60 a year. I would say try tor but that might cause more problems then its worth
And as for them knowing how your doing it, the only way they would know is by packet sniffing(I think), but as android has the full internet I really don't no how they are able to tell the difference between you tethering and you using the browser on your phone.
how much data did you use?
I use and average of about 20-30gb a month... that's the reason I wont get a tethering plan cuz they cap it at 4gb a month. If it was unlimited I would have no problem giving them the extra 15 a month for the tethering
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Most I ever used was 72gb a month... I guess that's the reason my account got red flagged I guess lol...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The softcap for even unlimited accounts is 5gb,
you used over a year's worth of data in 1 month, i'm surprised they didnt immediately cut you off without notice as that's what ISPs use to justify having caps in the first place (though the whole unlimited = 5gb thing is a load to begin with)
It's boarderline physically impossible for a phone/tab to consume that much data without the user being physically present the entire time.
You COULD hit it by nonstop streaming netflix for an entire month but that's much less likely then using tethering it and doing non web browsing/gaming/anything heavy bandwidth that a phone/tab cant do itself
More or less they wont bother looking for tetherers that stay below their soft caps, but once you exceed the cap by like 100% it doesnt matter if it's tethering or not they'll still be mad
