The Verizon iPhone doesn't have LTE? Fuck that, then. What is the point then? The Thunderbolt and several others came out 6 months before the new iPhone, and still get LTE.

No iphone has LTE yet.

AT&T has HSPA+ which is what most people call 3.5G. It's nowhere near as fast as LTE, but it's a shitload faster than Verizon's CDMA 3G network.

So on Verizon, it's retarded to get an iphone right now unless you must have apple products.

I went from getting 2mbps to averaging around 20mbps with my 4G phone. My wife's iphone 4s is still averaging 2mbps and that came out 2 months ago....

Mine isnt till august. I may be able to upgrade early. I may just buy a used 4g phone off craigslist. Ive been looking at either the charge or thunderbolt to get me there. I think I'm done with motorola for awhile...

[Archren]

Trip, what is your coverage like with Verizon? I've considered switching from AT&T, but although HSPA+ isn't fast, I seem to get pretty decent coverage here in Texas. Being as my job often has us training in somewhat remote areas, I like to at least have a signal, even if it is only a couple bars on Edge. I know I've heard a lot of complaints with the Government Blackberries, because apparently T-mobile coverage is poor (or nonexistent) once you leave metro areas.

[Sixxxxer]

T-Mobile is the Worst out of the Big 4 IMO...My friend has it and it takes him FOREVER to receive my texts. And when we talk on the phone he cuts in and out all the time. And it's NEVER on my end.

I have the Iphone, On verizon...It doesnt really bother me not having LTE...the 3g coverage is really quite sufficient...and half the time Im using a wifi spot somewhere getting faster speeds



True 4g will probably never be achieved the speeds for it are over 100megs, actually more IIRC. I use my laptop more than my phone though so thats another reason why I dont really care about "how fast" my phone service is.

And not that I dont believe you trip but noone i know with verizon 4g phones have gotten anywhere close to 20megs...The verizon average is somewhere around 6.

Verizon has the best coverage bar none in most areas, there are only a few areas they lag behind AT&T in. I would compare the two online coverage maps for each company for your area to see who is better. Verizon in this area simply does not have any competitor for rural coverage. 4G coverage is limited to big cities right now though. 3G coverage is pretty excellent in rural areas, but is slower than HSPA+ and even HSPA.

I have heard a lot of bad things about the stock thunderbolt, but I hear it is a fantastic phone if you go beyond stock. The Rezound battery is suppose to be a replacement for the thunderbolt battery and make the thunderbolt have awesome battery life. There is apparently a rom if you root the phone that is suppose to make it silky smooth and fast. A lot of devs really like this phone after they do this, a lot of them were wanting to get nexus until they worked out the kinks on it.

I might have to poll some of my local friends and see what they're experiencing too. I'd hate to break the contract with AT&T to switch to Verizon and then get no signal when I'm out at Camp Swift (or Fort Hood, should this mobilization to Afghanistan actually happen next year).

http://gigaom.com/2010/11/04/what-is-4g/

Good read on the topic at hand.

That's old, they revised the speeds needed for 4G. That's why HSPA+ claims 4G now. All 4G stands for is fourth generation. Technically, LTE is the fourth generation of cellular networking.

First Gen: First standard Analog networks.

Second Gen: Digital upgrade to CDMA and GSM.

Third Gen: HSPA (which got upgraded to HSPA+) for GSM and EVDO for CDMA

Fourth Gen: LTE for GSM (Verizon and Sprint both switching their new networks to GSM for future upgrades) and WiMax for CDMA (Sprint has recently dumped WiMax, so this will disappear)

Engineers argue if the generation should refer to speeds obtained by the networks or the actual evolution of technology. I fall into the actual evolution of the technology group. They can put controls on speeds, so you don't get bandwidth, but that doesn't mean the technology hasn't progressed a generation.

[Trip]

I had the incredible and it's a bad ass phone if you root it and stick MIUI on it. Very stable and fast. Incredible was loved by devs. If it had 4G, I would still be using it.

I'll talk to her about that. She doesnt use phones to go that crazy into it, she just wanted something to surf the web/text/facebook blah blah blah...Her phone has MAJOR battery issues. She leaves for work with a full charge and by lunch it's in the yellow and she hasnt even touched it. It's nuts, and it locks up on her ALOT to the point where she has to take the battery out to get the damn thing to restart because it doesnt respond to anything she does.

[Trip]

battery issues could be OS related. Rooting it, wiping the snot out of it, and putting MIUI on it will help her. Think of MIUI as iphone meets android. It has a very iphone look to it with all the cool widgets and shit of android.

Use unrevoked to root and you can get MIUI at miui.us

[Homeslice]

AT&T sucks IMO. Dropped calls up the kazoo. The funny thing is, if my phone has been sitting around for awhile, and I pick it up and make a call, the first try often drops without even ringing the other guy. Even if there are 4 bars. I have to try again before it will start ringing.

Maybe a difference in measurement methodology. I'm basing it off the connection software they gave me, not a speed website.

[dubbs]

A big difference is MB vs mb

MB = megabytes - this typically represents how big a file is.
mb = megabits (8 bits to a byte) so this number is 8 times higher than MB/s

example - my home internet has a 50+ mb bandwidth - I'm able to download at 7+ MB/s

Unless we are all using the commonly accepted method of measuring data transfer....

Megabits, not all data transfer comes in neat little 8 bit packages, so everyone just uses bits when speaking of data transfer.

The new flagship Android superphone stumbles out of the gate

While there are several smartphone manufacturers that use Google's Android operating system, the Nexus line is often considered the cream of the crop. The Nexus line is the only series of handsets designed with the help of Google, and therefore the phone are always the first to get updates to the OS. The new Samsung Galaxy Nexus debuted on December 17, and almost immediately customers began to report issues with some of the phone's key features.

Signal strength
The most widespread problem deals with the phone's less-than-impressive signal strength. Numerous customers are reporting that their shiny new smartphones simply can't get a decent 3G or 4G connection. The outcry has become so broad that Verizon issued a statement letting new Nexus owners know that a fix is on the way, though no date has been revealed for when the update will go live.

Finicky Face Unlock
But it's not just signal strength that has new Nexus owners up in arms: it appears that Face Unlock — a marquee feature of the brand new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system — isn't exactly perfect. In fact, our own testing confirmed that the new facial recognition technology, which unlocks your phone without so much as a tap, was only accurate about 50% of the time. The feature requires almost perfect lighting and a direct view of your face to even have a chance of unlocking your phone. If the device is even slightly askew, it tends to default to the secondary security function.

Touchy touchscreen
A lesser-reported issue — and one that we weren't able to produce on our own Galaxy Nexus — has to do with a faulty touchscreen. Several users report that their device's massive 4.65" multi-touch display fails to detect tactile input in some apps and games. Certain apps appear to be affected more than others: the games Heavy Gunner 3D, Pew Pew 2, ShadowGun and Gun Bros. are confirmed as having the bug. The issue can usually be corrected by exiting the offending app and then locking and unlocking the device; however, re-opening an app that has the bug will cause the problem to resurface.

Needless to say, some customers aren't entirely pleased with their new purchase, and while the majority — if not all — of these problems can likely be solved through a free, over-the-air software update, Android early adopters are feeling the sting. If you're one of the unlucky few experiencing a less-than-satisfactory introduction to your new Galaxy Nexus, you can either wait until a fix appears, exchange it via your carrier's return policy (most are 30-day), or jump ship entirely — though the latter option will definitely cost you.

My Nexus does get crazy hot on the top back portion of the phone, but only when I'm downloading/updating a lot of apps using 4G.

[Trip]

Signal strength hasn't been an issue with me, but this is something Apple went through before and is doing the same thing Verizon is going to do, LIE. Apparently people feel better if they have more bars on the screen instead of seeing what their signal looks like accurately. They don't really notice the ups and downs of the network if they don't see it.

Here's an article about it.

It's not every day that smartphone users want to be lied to. But in the case of signal strength, we'll apparently make an exception. Verizon has told Computer World that in the case of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, the LTE signal is being received and reported accurately. Too accurately, actually. So accurately, in fact, that if you appear to have a worse signal and more 3G/4G bouncing with the Galaxy Nexus, it's probably because your other LTE phones weren't as accuate as the Galaxy Nexus.

So, as Verizon told Computer World, it will make the Galaxy Nexus report signal strength a little less accurately as to ease our minds and be more in line with its other LTE devices. And so long as the phone at least appears to have a better connection, we're apparently OK with it.

This isn't an unprecedented move -- Apple did pretty much the same thing with the iPhone 4. While we're not disputing that things have appeared to be a bit off -- our own Verizon review unit definitely has appeared to be more wonky than our other 4G devices -- there's probably a little bit of the internet microscope at work here, too. Verizon (and every other carrier) is always working on improving connection, even after a phone is released. It's why we see new radios in updates all the time.

Face unlock is a gimmick, I turned it on to play with it, turned it off for every day use.

Don't have the touchscreen issue some people are reporting, so I can't comment on that.

Mine doesn't get hot either, my main complaint is battery life. Big screen means juice devouring device.

Worse thing so far is Verizon had a nationwide 4G phone outage this morning. Pissed me off.

Would be nice if it were true, the fact is that there is a signal trouble, I am not a "Bar" watcher, I could care less. The truth is, while in Target, a store that I frequent, holding the Nexus next to a HTC Thunderbolt, the thunderbolt had two 4g bars and the Nexus had NO service. I frequently use the barcode scanner to compare prices. The Nexus was useless in the store. The other thing I notice, the Nexus appears to be in 3g often when compared to the HTC Thunderbolt, it is in 4g. Phones side by side. There is a signal problem and if you TRUST Verizon on this reply, you simply do not understand damage control.

I havent fucked around with the nexus yet, but we should all just throw our androids into the trash and everyone buy an iphone. I think it should be a crime and reuslt in jail time if you don't have an iphone.

Hell, lets all marry our gay boyfriends, ban all guns, vote Obama '12, adopt a couple hiv+ kids from thailand and africa, buy a house we cant afford and rely on the feds to bail us out, protest big banks for making money, make it mandatory to give up half our paycheck(after taxes that is) to underprivaliged people(aka to the ghetto)...if you all dont like these new laws, I think the fed gov should throw you in jail.
