Actually, having been a T-Mo customer before switching to Verizon, I can verify this claim. Speeds are very comparable. Coverage is not.

Got it yesterday. Set it up…it flies. Now my wife has the #1 phone in our family.

*grumbles*

Even the in-call audio is superb…

Here’s hoping we get another Nexus soon that wipes the floor with it.

OK, thanks! I “live chatted” with a Verizon rep and she said I could just add another line, not pay full price, and keep my current data plan. Now I just have to decide which phone to get. Really loved my Razr, but the battry life was HORRIBLE, so I am tempted to get the Maxx. That said I also like the S3, just waiting to see how the battery life is.

Do you get keep you current contract (say, I dunno, unlimited data?) when you “uprgade”? Also, how much is insurance?

I was going to try and use the 14 day policy to swap out my razr maxx but that doesn’t seem to be the plan anymore

BlackBerry Tour -> DroidX -> HTC Trophy -> iPhone 4S -> Motorola Droid Razr -> Motorola Droid Razr Maxx

I had problems with every single one of them except the Trophy and my current one, the Maxx

I placed a pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. I cancelled the pre-order because of some apparent radio issues some of our European brethren are experiencing, as well as the locked boot loader (I have that now, plus insanely long talk time, why would I want to lose the talk time and keep the encrypted boot loader?).

I have one more subsidized “upgrade” available. I figure Verizon can keep it. I am staying off-contract from now on.

Spend “wad”? Is that prefaced by “Dick”?

I’m thinking Guest here goes to work everyday, and answers the phone with “Hello, thank you for calling Verizon Marketing, how may I assist you?”.

But of course what they really should say when they answer is “Hello, thank you for calling Verizon, how may I assist in pissing you off and ruining your day, please hold, press 1 for English, press 2 to have us hang up on you, press 3 to hear the same options again.”.

I ordered on 6/27, and still no phone. I will be more than annoyed if I get it a week after it becomes available in stores. Bright side is I locked in my unlimited data. Good luck with yours. If you can’t get the status online, I recommend calling and they will tell you.
