Jump ship when I have the first phone with 4g? although my phone has never seen 4g and probably never will. Too bad it can not run on LTE. Verizon has their networks up before their phones are release, Sprint went kind of backwards on this one for some.

I have no problems with Sprint service, and Im on a great affordable plan. Im sure sprint will get some new flagship phones over the summer.

No. I currently have the best plans on the market, so I don't see the logic in spending more for less with another provider. Besides, I have a feeling Sprint is gonna surprise us in a good way, come June.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

Nope no reason to replace my EVO....
I dumped my iPhone 4 for the EVO!!! Sprints network is better than AT&T for my area anyway. I just can't wait for them to roll out 4G service in AZ. I do wish the EVO had better battery life though......
Plus if you do a service plan comparison Sprint has the better plans.......

I won't be leaving sprint anytime soon, and if i do it will be because of coverage more than a particular phone.
If in a year or two Sprint doesn't switch to LTE or at least get some better spectrum for wimax, I'll probably leave.
Verizon and I believe ATT will be using some of the 700Mhz spectrum for LTE and that is the only game changer for me...but their plans are expensive and I don't think their customer service is as good as Sprint.

I saw a recent review in a magazine at the doctors office that pointed out that AT&T had the worst reviews for customer service and cell service.
On the other hand it Sprint has been recognized for their strides in providing better service and better signal.
I had Verizon for a short period of time this year. I don't expect that much has changed with their customer service or their rate plans. They are very ineffective at customer service and seem to just not care about it. With out making this post a novel, Let's just say they couldn't even show me my bill in a store.
I have had Sprint's flagship since June when it was released ... with their rate plans for the Evo and other 4G phones there is no way that I would consider leaving then as a customer.

You should try the myns Rom and some kernels to change that battery life.. mine is like excellent.. way better than ever and I'm not exaggeration.. and I'm a heavy user.

Leaving a network just for a phone is silly, since every network will get a better phone than the one you have sooner or later. Leaving because of costs/coverage? That at least makes sense.

ack, another mynion

lol cant help it.. anyways yea man verizon wanted a $500 deposit for my line.. i had no credit.. and att wanted $400..
sprint didnt ask for anything =) lol..

Why would I jump ship, I'm not easily swayed by everything that glitters. Plus I get good service and plan.
To sum it up, HELL TO THE NO.....

Label it whatever you want, silly, traitor, etc. but that new monster Motorola Atrix phone shown at CES this year seriously has my nipples fully erect. that thing is just a beast. i really hate all the other cell providers(various fees, caps, coverage, etc) but damn, thats an awesome phone!

I'm leaving Sprint and the EVO... but only because I'm moving someplace with no Sprint... blah

Im gonna sit out this contract not because of money, but because the next big thing is dual cores. Till I see an awesome dual core im not jumping anywhere.

Nope! I left Verizon for a reason. Their prices are ridiculously high for less! My Evo will have a very good shelf life, sprint should be rolling something out of their sleeve soon anyways.

Best reply of the post.
No... I have the best priced plan with one of the top available phones and get full 4g at work constantly for tethering when needed sparingly on my laptop. Bought my EVO of craigslist, by contract expires after June 27th and still will stick with Sprint after that.

I have a contract from when I bought my hero, paid out of pocket for my evo and had it replace my hero, I will gladly pay out of pocket again for the evo 2, I like sprint, I like my 4.3 inch screen, if I can keep those 2 with an upgrade I will, but dangle whatever phone you want to in front of me and unless it's sprint with 4.3 or bigger I won't care the least

no phone can tempt me for the 100 a month we are saving (vs verizon)

Will you get the HTC EVO lte?? :)

Hi guys!!!!! I've missed my EVO!!! Since then I've go.e through like 8 smart phones but I miss this one the most, the development for this phone was insane, so with the new EVO coming out, will a lot of you devs that made the of EVO get it? I was considering getting the one x from at&t but after at&t tampered with it......yea its horrible
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Go to the General section of this forum. There's like four threads devoted to this topic. Some good information on what devs are going to the new EVO too.

I'm definitely getting it. I hope miui makes it an official device.

I would if I was still with sprint and there internet actually worked. Lte will probably not be in my area for another year or two so I switched to Verizon that has had it almost a year. Sprint is the only major carrier that doesn't have 4g in my area....... Even metro POS has it ( because they use verizons LTE but still)

Depends on Sprint and their network roll out. I'm not upgrade eligible until Nov/Dec, if the network hasn't done anything I'm just gonna keep flashing my Evo out of contract until they get my area up and running.

this is my plan exactly

ehh probably not
It kills me to see they brought the kick stand back but then pulled the rug from underneath by not having a removable battery. I mean come on, I love the fact that I can just swap the battery out and be back at 100 percent in just a few minutes. Having to be plugged in for a charge totally blows, especially when you are always on the move.

Just returned my evo with hopes of getting my preorder gs3

Returned evo lte due to data dropouts and crap reception for the photon with hopes of getting the gs3. Will the gs3 have similar data issues due to the new 4g radios in these new sprint phones? So far the photon reception is insane.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

I think most people would agree that the Photon is well known among Sprint phones to be the champion when it comes to reception. If you're hoping for reception like it had in the GS3, I wouldn't hold your breath. I had the EVO LTE before the GS3 & the reception was about the same between the two. Samsung did do us a service in improving the radio slightly in the GS3 over the GS2 though. I get approximately 2-3 dBm better reception with my GS3 over my GS2 in the same spots. YMMV.

As far as cdma Motorola has a patent that allows them superior radio quality. Does anyone know one that patent will expire? Lol

Should I stick it out with the photon and skip on the gs3?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

Dude, the SGS3 is the pinnacle of smartphone hardware you can own in the WORLD, regardless of network, right now. It is an amazing piece of technology. Like I said, if you expect to see reception like you do with the Photon, that's probably going to be a pipe dream. But I think you'd be crazy not to at least try it out. Am I biased? Yeah, mostly!

Great time for a return. Verizon SGSIII should be out shortly, return that Photon, pick up that SGSIII should receive equal to +/- reception and you'll be in excellent condition. I couldn't do the EVO LTE, looking forward to Verizon, again :good:.

Just got off the phone with best buy and according to them, I should get the gs3 right away since I preordered which should be in my 30 day return policy with best buy. Ill give it a shot and if I see the same poor reception as the evo lte, Ill go back to the photon. As far as going back to verizon, not happening, I just did an assumption of liability with some one on xda an gave up my unlimited. Couldn't justify spending 150 a month for three lines with only one smartphone, 700 minutes, and only 200 text per line. Now I'm spending about 165 for all three lines two of which are iphones for my wife an mother in law. On the 1500 data unlimited. Sprint in my area is fine for service and will only improve as they make network upgrades plus I should be grandfathered in my current plan if they ever decide to change policy. Again this is all speculation, not fact. Here's to hoping the gs3 doesn't drop data the way the beautifully designed evo lte did.

I agree, Sprint ftw! Also, the EVO LTE is beautiful, but once you have the GS3 in hand I doubt you'll be disappointed from a design perspective. It's gorgeous & also more comfortable to hold IMHO. Hopefully the signal strength will be better for you, too! Good luck in your endeavor.

I don't know maybe it was a fluke thing with being defective, like I said if the gs3 fails in that dept ill be back to the photon. This sucks!

I have the evo lte currently and was thinking of getting the sgs3 also. I went into t-mobile store today to play with one and I wasn't exactly blown away by it. device looks odd because of the really rounded corners. I compared screen sizes and could barely see the difference. I still can't decide

I think both phones are excellent phones and the which one is better, is a silly argument. Ultimately both phones will tackle just about any task you throw at it and any performance differences will be minimal.

Reason why I switch wasn't much cause I didn't like my Evo but more because sprint service really not good most of the time, I had to let it go but the GS3 is a really great device tho

I had the evo lte and returned it due to poor reception and other issues. I've had much better results with the gs3. I also owned the photon before and while the gs3 is not quite as good as the photon, I'd say in 90% of areas I am in, there is no noticeable difference in reception.

Dav, you get what you pay for... I'm with Sprint and I put a pre-orders for 2 S3 with Verizon. I cant even load Google maps while on the train here in LI NY. IMO after Sprint went with the iPhone my speed went from awesome to pure garbage, yes, you get unlimited but what good does it make if you can't even stream a song without skip.
If you want to check how Sprint is doing where you live try check here network.sprint.com

on LI too! Ditched sprint all together, cant justify spending $225 for service thats barely there. Giving t mobile a shot and if that doesnt work, im going back to a pager and some pocket change for a payphone! Im still in my 14 day return period with sprint and was able to port my numbers over, got three lines with 1000 minutes unlimited text, 2gb high speed data with the unlimited slow 3g thing. went with the one s for myself and two nokia lumia 710's for my wife and mother in law at $145 a month. Anything above $150 is pushing it with theses greedy cell companies. Att wanted $200 for something similar to sprint and verizon is about $190. I know a few people with t mobile on LI that say service is fine.

Really? The one s is nice but after using galaxy nexus and evo my eyes would actually get tired after reading for while, that's why I changed and also some apps don't look as updated as the evo ones, like the mail and contacts, when you swype the bottom part in the contacts apps you don't get the cool animation, and the email app wouldn't display some stuff correctly, nice phone tho, really thin device

Ugh I hope I can get a decent deal when I have my upgrade in about a year LOL

Just an update:
$99 offer is for new accounts only. $199 for upgrades/new lines.
With that in mind I ordered yesterday.... and won't see them until Jan. 31st due to the back order. Couldn't pass it up, especially since I was going to have to make the jump to Sprint next year anyhow. I'll eat a $100 ETF but think the missus will be happier if LTE is all they say it can/will be.

I know everone wants to jump on that phone and I LOVE IT. I played with my friend's phone and IT IS AWESOME. But I just can't buy an LTE-enabled device without any plans to get LTE in most of the areas. And of course with Sprint reaching the lowest service ever (in my region) I don't think I'm sticking with them any more. I was one of the happy customers for a long time but now I'm dropping calls and getting 16-22 Kbps in a lot of the areas that I go to. I know they will get better eventually and I know that the unlimited prices are great but I don't know what to do. I was thinking of getting a cheap phone and jump the no contract Simply Talk or Solavie or something, then I'll wait and see. If they actually get better I'll come back. What do you think?
Edit: May be they are getting better already. I just did a speed test and it came so good
I used to get 750-950 Kbps and the past couple of weeks it came down to 150-300 Kbps. No it is 1650-2100 Kbps on both phones.
May be I'll continue using Sprint and use my unlimited plan ...

For me I'm honestly switching because:
1) Was going to likely be pushed into Sprint if/when KDDI Mobile closes up. I suspect it will when the deal closes, KDDI won't give any details but don't see Softbank letting a competitor stay when they could push their own label as an MVNO.
2) With #1 in mind, I'm not going to pass up a chance to change models if a good deal comes around. Had to pay full price for the E4GT because they had me locked in an Optimus S... and that doesn't work for me.
3) Want to help support the GN2 community a lot more than I can now. We've seen what it can be like if no one supports - I want to remedy that.
4) It's a cool phone! At $100!
Worst case I eat the ETFs and I'm out only a little bit, considering buying these at full price would still have been double - and couldn't use them on the current MVNO.

You are absolutely right. But my friend got it on T-Mobile for $100 (after rebate, of course) and he's on a value plan (or something like that) with unlimited everything. He pays less than me (for two lines) but he's getting blazing fast speeds. That's why I was thinking of going to T-Mobile or one of it's MNVOs. On the other hand, my other friend whipped his iPhone when we were together and did a speed test on AT&T LTE and he got 50 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up. Another friend with Nexus 4 on T-Mobile is getting 18-25 Mbps everywhere we go on HSPA+. That's not fair, right?
Anyway, I still have a bit less than a year in my contract. I can't pay the ETF. It's going to be $450. So, again, I'll have to wait and see...

For those of you on SERO, this doesnt work. I spent 25 minutes on the phone with them today. Escalated it 2x, they wont budge to price match Bestbuys price. They just keep saying there is nothing we can do...

goodbye cruel world (i mean crappy sprint service) !!!

after much debate and 12 yrs of sprint cell service it is time to move on. i always knew sprint didnt have the best coverage but until i started playing ingress, i didnt really realize how bad it actually is. over the past few months, there have been many, many times when i have had full 3g data coverage but data is unusable. this is mainly true for the larger cities and towns around these parts. it is extremely sad that i have to use my girlfriends hotspot to use the data. i saddens me to say (not really) but i have switched to verizon and the service is 10000x better in this area. believe it or not, it is also cheaper with her on my account with a shared plan. i think i saved over $30 a month.
so, i say, good bye to my sprint family, i bid you farewell !!!
ohh and, anyone want to buy a virtually new note 2 with multiple cases and batteries?

We have suffered a great loss.
You da man t3.
But I agree.
Sprint is actually the worst phone service to ever be in business.
I wish I could switch.
I will probably pay the etf and get t mobile.

Tmobile dude faster 3g service than our lte. No caps like us. Around same price of not cheaper. Gsm goodieness. Better battery life because of Gsm. Wifi calling for free. Once your done paint for the phone your bill drops.
The only reason why we haven't switched it simply because they don't offer us a discount and that is why sprint is the cheaper option for us personally.

of course, because you are playing in sprint's front yard. and after looking at my data usage of the past 2 yrs, i have never used over 2gb so im not too particularly worried about capped data. besides i stay on wifi 75% of the time anyway.

the unsubsidized phone kills it for me. i buy a phone every year. since i have 9 lines with sprint total, they break me off great deals on my main line upgrade. in the last 4 years i have had the touchpro 2, the epic 4g, the evo 3d, the epic 4g touch and the note 2. the note 2 was the only one i paid for, and i got it for 149 1 month after launch.
why would i want to go back to the dark ages of paying full price for my phone?
even if i did want to do the tmoblile payment option, it wouldnt save me any money. i juust checked the note 2 on tmo. they want 149 down plus 20 per month for 24 months.my bill wouldnt go donw at 24 months. i would be wanting a new phone. there for reupping the payment plan. theyve found a way to to keep you in a contract with out the actual contract and making you buy your own phone. good god damned they are some good hustlers

I've been with sprint for awhile now I had to pay for samsung moment 179.99 and took them ages finally admitting it was a pos. Then gave me an upgrade had to pay for htc Evo shift. Traded for Epic 4g before 30 days. Paid 299.99 for Note 2. ****ty service all the way since from North Carolina to Texas. My buddy pays less than I do for 3 lines on Tmobile and had better service were ever we go.

You might want to read that. Even Dan Heese is against subsidized phones. It's only a matter of time..

after much debate and 12 yrs of sprint cell service it is time to move on. i always knew sprint didnt have the best coverage but until i started playing ingress, i didnt really realize how bad it actually is. over the past few months, there have been many, many times when i have had full 3g data coverage but data is unusable. this is mainly true for the larger cities and towns around these parts. it is extremely sad that i have to use my girlfriends hotspot to use the data. i saddens me to say (not really) but i have switched to verizon and the service is 10000x better in this area. believe it or not, it is also cheaper with her on my account with a shared plan. i think i saved over $30 a month.
so, i say, good bye to my sprint family, i bid you farewell !!!
ohh and, anyone want to buy a virtually new note 2 with multiple cases and batteries?

So I guess this means that Project ROM will no longer be supported by you? Still rocking 2.6 over here :good:

lucky i got the radio shack employee plan $33 a month including 4glte and all...

I live by detroit and every week I find a new place that had really bad 3g now have lte....I have used in this billing cycle aka 17 days 5.08 gigs of data.

You will be missed. Luckily I get good lte and in my bill cycle I pull in easily 25gb just on my phone and about 5-10gb on my three others.
Best of luck :beer::thumbup:

I switched from Sprint to Verizon about 2 years ago and 4 months ago Sprint GOT LTE in my area so I came back. Happy as ever now. Last month used 65 gbs of data. I average about 20-30 down and 6 up.

I've considered leaving a few times. But I get a 25% discount and have a 6 line family plan. Call quality is awesome, but data is so-so. We're getting more and more lte coverage though. So it is improving.

I'm not switching any time soon. My bill would be through the roof. Last month, I broke 100GB of data transfer. Since I swtich the GN2 from the Evo4G, I was usually in the 50-65GB; preGH2 it was around 30-35GB.
I don't know any internet at work, so I use the phone. I watch a lot of sports and movies. I have around 6 to 7 hours of dead time to fill.
