My new play Nexus running on Straight Talk - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Man after being under Sprints thumb for 2 years I am free. I live in a rual area and had to have an airave just to get phone calls. I have full bars now and 5mb dl speed. I know thats slower than some are getting and I bet it's faster closer to town. All I can say is I love it. Anybody thinking about it should make the switch. Plus pure Google is pure awesome.

Good to hear. I am in the process of making the jump to T-mob Monthly 4G from Sprint. Their data service has become so slow (45 kb/s) in my area, that paying "Premium Data" charges is ridiculous. I really like the prepaid business model versus subsidizing the device.

Congrats! I left horrible Verizon for Straight Talk with GSM Nexus. I actually get better service on ST Att than I was getting with Verizon.

I also came from sprint which couldn't even steam pandora.

Best thing I have found with google now if you open it and say S*&T it takes you to the Sprint stocks page. Best laugh I have had in a long time.

Anyone interested in going to Prepaid should checkout the HUGE Prepaid thread here.

I did the same thing. I have had my Nexus for about 2 weeks now using it with Straight Talk sim and I love it. Came from the Rezound.
Called and complained to Verizon twice in 1st 6 months about my service and they let me out without ETF.
Had 3 lines ~$230.00 month for Rezound, iPhone and another dumb phone. Now paying $150.00 for 2 Smart Phones "Nexus and Galaxy Y for my son" and 1 dumb phone "iPhone" for my wife.

Uses Verizon towers for voice & 3G... after 800mb of data he will get a letter from Sprint saying goodbye.. sometimes it can take a few months to receive the letter.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus is Releasing Next Week As Per Store REP

Hello folks,
I had gone to Verizon store to get a new sim card for my Razr. As the rep was trying to swap my sim, i asked the rep if the nexus is available. She said not this week, but i should be able to get this next week. I asked her how much it will cost me on contract, she said 299.99$.
I asked if she had a demo that i can play with, she said yes and gave me one from the back counter.
So folks here it is, next week we are getting the galaxy nexus..yaaay..
im at a loss trying to figure out how you have been thanked 21 times.

I can confirm this. Went into radio shack and they had a galaxy Nexus that they let me play with. They said I could not turn it on but I verified it had Verizon branding and everything! They said it was supposed to be released today but was delayed because of Verizon's 4g outage! !!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Lmao. Thanks for the heads up. This adds another confirmation about next week. There is a thread that pretty much states that they are releasing it on pretty much everyday starting tomorrow. On average there is a over whelming number of people hearing the 15th.

lol they can definitely turn it on. I played with one for about 10 minutes in the Verizon store today, on 4G.
Wow. Gullible as hell. It will be sold when it will be sold. They don't know **** at these stores. I'm still laughing about the 4g outage comment. Thank you for the laugh.

didn't you guys hear?.. I spoke to a hermit crab earlier that told me Verizon's discontinueing the Nexus to focus solely on Motorola phones.
Had called Verizon to reserve one on Monday, when we all thought they were releasing them today... Store rep. called me today, said it will available on the 15th to pick up.

Rezound is $649.99 at Verizon retail stores. Same with the RAZR.

$799 is what Best Buy charges for full retail, Verizon stores will be charging $649.99 like the RAZR & Rezound.

Got an HTC Sensation with ICS on it. Only thing thats slacking the front camera but it feels like im holding a One S. Just glad to be off Sprints uber-slow network and I'm only paying $30 a month using VoIP and Google Voice.

Again as always these are my opinions not those of Sprints

Ok i gotta add my two cents. Are you a freaking idiot? I came from tmobile to sprint 9 months ago. and sprint is byfar sooooooooooooooooo Superior to Tmobile in every aspect. I hope you enjoy there "4G Network" which is really just 3G on drugs. And also enjoy there data throttling after 2GB of use. And Also enjoy the Slow...sation. With its 768mb of RAM and its Qualcomm S3 Processor and lackluster GPU. You my friend are one smart cookie. Enjoy your downgraded device as well. Lmfao.

john!
i had to press down on the brakes to get my truck to stop!
he is on their prepaid plan which is 5GB data (2g afterwards), unlimited text, and 100 voice minutes.
you cant assume tmobile sucks everywhere, its actually good in some places. such as in chicago. my cousin averages 5-10mbps.
though sprint sucks in chicago (at least most places i go to. average 50-750kbps). wimax is decent but connection isnt reliable and kills the battery.
im actually doing the same thing. im contemplating in switching to their prepaid plan (but still with a sgs2, possibly a note if it comes out). just makes sense for me. much cheaper but i still get faster data speeds. id never go over 5gb as im usually on wifi but when im out and about, i need some sort of good connection.
dont use voice too much and voip might me a solution (gonna try it out for a month before i cancel sprint)
no need to hate on the guy, it is somewhat relevant as he switched from e4gt to another phone.

Free Sprint Airave

Lastweek when I got my Siii - I called Sprint customer service line and just ask if they would send me an Airave. I did not threaten to cancel or anything as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192.
The rep checked availability and shipped
In checking the the tracking number looks like it's sitting on my porch.
The rep said no charge, no changes to my service plan, no lease or anything. If I cancel my service I must send the device back. But while a customer I can use it free of charge.
:good:
I didn't even call they are giving them away like hotcakes now. I just used the sprint chat on their website.

I'm thinking of switching to Verizon or at&t. I've grown tired of this terrible coverage I have in my area.

I have 2 Airrave's on my account. 1 was free from Sprint. The other I bought off Ebay for like $60. Both are life savers. Wish Sprint would get it together already...

Just upgraded! Paid for next day shipping as well. Not sure about the memory size but I'm guessing it's the 16GB. I didn't see another option. Can't wait!
BTW, it sais that it's not available but I'm guessing it's because the system isn't fully updated yet.

You need to be a registered prepaid user. Unregistered/new users will always have the plan services shoved to them.
I'm on pre-paid already - $30/mo 5GB and registered. I want to order the phone and pay full price for it yet the system can't complete my order.
I'm getting the same thing now. I don't realize I wasn't signed in lol. But still getting error.
$649 No contract.
Ordered my T-Mobile upgrade from WireFly this morning for $279.99 with no rebate. Now to wait impatiently for it to show up!
OH NOOO
T-mobile Online Store is OUT OF STOCK!!!
Just ordered mine from tmobile over the phone. Unfortunately it's already back ordered. It's scheduled to ship on the 26th. I think I may run to the store here in a little bit and just get one there if they have one though.

Got the order in at 5am eastern time, i just woke up and got a notification it is backordered. Checked the website and its out of stock already.

Need your opinions...

So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

Wow lucky person lol. I'd stick with the gs3 but I'm biased. My wife's old evo ruined HTC for me.
Sent from Pluto.
The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint
