Switching Carriers over some launch availability issues? Devices are out there now in pretty decent numveds , Best Buy is selling them over the counter today as well.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!

You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.

I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

I wouldn't switch.. far as I know ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) the T-Mobile version of the SGSIII does NOT have LTE !! To me, that would be a waste.

It has badass hspa+ (42mbps) though which can just as fast as lte depending on location. And it doesnt kill battery like lte, so id say the tmo version is a great option..

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

Galaxy nexus 4g lte for AT&T?

Hey guys, i currently have a htc one x from at&t and development on there is like dead..
So i'm thinking of switching to the galaxy nexus since i had a nexus S and it was sexy and dependable.
what im looking for the a white galaxy nexus,
So the question i'm asking is, does this device support the 4g lte of at&t? if so, what would the model number be?
i know it does support 4g, but i cant find anything on the lte info on google
thanks for the responses

No LTE on At&t's Gnex.

No, in order to use it on AT&T you need the unlocked GSM model (i9250), which is HSPA+ 21mbps, not LTE.
And the two LTE variants for Verizon and Sprint will not work on AT&T. Just how it is.

ugh sadface...
how are the speeds on hspa?

Depends on your area, anywhere from 3mbps to about 10mbps. Why don't you turn off LTE on your One X and see?

Not that this matters but I have a bit of advice unless you really like the gnex I suggest you wait because the next nexus will most likely be out mid November!

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.

Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.

T-Mobile will launch refreshed Galaxy S III with LTE support

Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/38...aunch-refreshed-galaxy-s-iii-with-lte-support
At a CES briefing today, T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray revealed to The Verge that the company will launch a refreshed version of Samsung's wildly popular Galaxy S III that features support for its upcoming LTE network — a network that has now been confirmed to launch commercially any week now. It's not yet known whether the phone will be marketed as a new, distinct model or as a silent and unadvertised swap on store shelves.
Though the Galaxy S III that's presently being offered by T-Mobile does not support LTE, the slightly newer Galaxy Note II does; Ray tells us that it'll require a "small" software update to enable it once it's available. No other LTE-capable phones have been announced by T-Mobile yet, but it's likely that we'll see some announcements as the first markets go live across the first and second quarter of the year.

T999L - We've been hearing bits and pieces about it (Mostly speculation) for a little while now. Nice to have some confirmation though.
Edit: And if the LTE happens to cover my area, you can bet that I'll sell my T999 and get a T999L

for what? lte consumes more power and isnt any faster than what youre already using. in fact, some would argue it is slower...

...and the Vibrant story repeats itself. T-mobile sure loves doing this. At least my unlocked T999 is ready to switch when I get the money to do so.

But seriously, that's why I said "If it happens to cover my area". I know it likely wont, but hey, who knows. I can already almost throw a rock and hit an HSPA+ 42 coverage area.

This is exactly what turns me off about the galaxy line in the US. I thought maybe they'd change with all the carriers having similar phones now, but no. Ill keep my s3 until its paid off then I'm probably going tontrybsomething else.

I dont think its that simple, I believe you need the hardware as well as the modem firmware, just flashing the modem could potentially brick your phone.

I get like 1.6 megs down already. It's more than fast enough.

I'm good with mine. I get almost 20 megs in the dallas metro plex. Tmobile could had the lte turned off like the note 2 and they turn it on when it was available. But they decided to make more money with a new release like the vibrant.

Sent from a galaxy far away!

I guess once this phone is released, there needs to be a detailed teardown (anandtech / ifixit) that compares the old T999 with the new T999L.
Hopefully there are no hardware differences, and everything is firmware/rom related.
If there are hardware differences, maybe we can start frankensteining a broken T999L (i.e. cracked screens etc) with a working T999 LOL

Supports these following LTE Bands: 1, 2, 4, 5, 17, 19, 25, 26 and 41
Sprint uses 25,26, and 41.
At the moment, among Sprint's phones, only the G2 has support for 25,26, and 41 (Tri-Band LTE). The next phone in Sprints lineup will be the Htc One Max.
