I've ihad left since September of last year and to be completely honest I would take a decent hspa network over it as long as it had the coverage. Sprints lte network is great when you get it but its spotty at best. I'm more than willing to wait for them to finish the roll out. But network vision is completed in my town and 3g is still very slow. Saying the lgog has a better camera is not very true they both are sub par at best

LOL any network is faster than sprints to be quite honest* but if you need the coverage that is an other story
Dont know why some people make a huge deal about some things. I my self need to ask my self this question like twice a month. Sprints network isnt the best but ive seen it improve a little i must admit

If network vision is complete in your town, then 3G wouldn't be slow and 4G wouldn't be spotty, you'd have the same coverage as 3G. I'm not sure you're talking about the same thing, network vision isn't complete anywhere.
As far as the nexus, tmobile has horrible coverage and all those pre paid services have really sketchy data usage terms for using att's network. Also I have to pay extra to keep my number. I've been extremely satisfied with sprints pricing, service, and unlimited data. While the data is slower than hell network vision has already started here and I'm willing to wait it out.

I'll agree with you on the camera. It's decent but 13mp was to me just a gimmick. After I added the camera tweaks from the dev section the camera quality greatly improved.

More MP =/= better camera. A 5MP DSLR will always take better pictures than a 13MP camera phone. If the camera on the LGOG was 8MP the pictures wouldn't look much worse.

Data speeds have been an issue in some areas since the beginning of the year.
It's a capacity issue.
They've been working on it and network vision will solve the issue.

omg i can't believe i did that. lol i know it's woes lol
I first got Sprint when evo dropped... returned it and cancelled because I couldn't even stream Pandora at my gym lol. Ended up getting it again with another device through work basically, still sucked. Moved to a new area, is better, but still sucks compared to data speeds offered by other carriers in same area. Right before iPhone hit, got way worse, I actually even began roaming some places, that's how bad it got. Lately, it has been even worse. Places I got decent download speeds I now get maybe 20-400kbps, while tmobile and att pull 2-7mbps all over town. And no, it isn't my device, same issues on evo, epic 4g, epic touch, nexus s, photon, arrive...
Point is, sprint in Colorado is getting worse by the month. We used to think they ere upgrading, but it has been too long. I know it is same case for Atlanta.
Why so I stay? Service is practically free. If it wasn't, I'd pay more just so that I wouldn't have to be on damn wifi to load Facebook even.

Not important to me. Neither is 3g for that matter. I spend 90% of the day within reach of wifi. And when I'm out and about, I don't mind the slow 3g speeds (500k). I don't do anything on my phone that is bandwidth intensive.

Actually the first month after the Epic's release date, Sprint store sales reps were telling customers the additional $10 was specifically for either using 4G or to bring 4G to your area within the next 6 months. That's the only reason I want 4G, the company allowed a huge amount of reps to sell the phone with that sales pitch. To try and quell the angst, Sprint implemented the charge across all "smart devices".
Closest 4G area is ~400mi away from me.
4G area is pointless in my area. I've rarely ever gotten it, and all it does is drain battery anyway. I'm curious to see how good LTE will be, and if it'll actually be in my area for once.

Wink wink. . . . nudge nudge. We all know the 10 dollars is for 4g no matter what Sprint calls it now. It ABSOLUTELY was for 4g service in the beginning before everyone complained and Sprint decided to just make everyone pay the fee, as the only phones that had to pay were 4g phones.
Ummm...cause it's fast. Being able to stream youtube, internet radio and HBO at my work desk is kind of awesome. Hope LTE is even better, and just as unlimited.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/t-mo...unlimited-data-plan-thats-actually-unlimited/
At a time when Verizon and AT&T are charging more for Data, T-Mobile comes to the rescue with unlimited Data for $30 for Classic Plans and $20 for Value Plans.
<3 I am excited! I was actually considering switching to Sprint for truly unlimited data, but now that my beloved T-Mobile is getting it, I am never leaving!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The unlimited data plan does not allow tethering. This is a quite reasonable limitation in my opinion but even so I am sure it will be bypassed on rooted phones by Sept. 7th.
Its almost TOO good to be true. But Tmo does take out the included HotSpot Tether (easy work around for us here tho ). This + the iPhone5/LTE (hopefully for Tmo's sake) + HEAVY marketing (including improved network toting & great prices) will bring new customers in droves. Tmo needs this combo punch for the holiday season.
Also, does anyone know how to only test the 1900 HSPA+ band on the GNex instead of AWS/1700 HSPA+? Tmo has been working on HSPA+ over their 1900 band for some months now, and I want to see if any towers in and around Seattle are enabled yet.
Have not been this excited about something from tmo in a long time. Still waiting for a catch, but damn this will be epic. I get unlimited through my dealer line anyway, but will be awesome for my wife.

I would not mind having 4G even if crappy.
Your Download speeds should always be almost double your Upload speeds, when they're not like in your screen shot usually means there's a glitch in your tower, if it's consistant I would **72786* it, happens to me sometimes when switching roms. It needs to re sync itself with the tower stuff. Just throwin that out there, hope it helps. Also my speeds on 3G have been all over the place because of the tower work going on in my area. One day I get 2.3 mps the next I'm crawling at less than 100 kps. But yes much more enjoy sending Sprint half the $$ Verizon wants!
