I left and went to AT&T, but kept old phones on the account to avoid paying the early termination. I’ll be canceling all lines once the contract is up this winter. Best decision I’ve made.

As far as I know there are no phones that support the DUAL band hspa+ required for those 42mbs speeds. or are there? maybe the htc onex? I do agree that verizon as a company cares nothing for it’s customers. But Until I can have unlimited or as close to my usage as possible for cheap and have coverage comparable to verizon in my area, oh and the same or better speeds… 25MB/s Down and 15-25MB/s Up (these can fluctuate, I’ve had like 31 down before) Then there are no options.

The government and its contractors have a prerequisite to what hardware has to have for the government and subsidiaries to use. Even down to being recycled, Apple products like the mac book and pro and other apple products are now banned for government use because they are not recyclable because of the dangerous chemicals in the battery or something can’t be recycled.

If I didn’t have unlimited data on Verizon I would try at&t again always had good service with them never had a problem with calls or data just like varizon I can pretty much get service everywhere I’m at did like being able to make phones calls and data at same time. The problem with Americas mobile system is to many different systems I would prefer to buy my phone outright without a contract with any phone company then if I’m not satisfied taking my phone and going to anther carrier without a penalty.

Verizon did the same thing when they released the DroidX blamed Motorola for it even tho later admitting they were the one wanting it locked. Grow up Verizon and stop the lying.

So does this unauthorized message come about with any app in particular? I mean what do we need to look out for? I’m planning on rooting mine will this prevent this from happening? I hope this isn’t for the FoxFi app.

wtf are you talking about? why would the government care whether or not a bootloader is encrypted? Stop spewing random words and get back to staring at the ups tracking page for your S3.

Wrong. Not ALL bootloaders are locked by default. See the Droid Charge, Fascinate, and Stratosphere if you don’t believe me.

Kinda sad considering some CyanogenMod devs work for/with Samsung.

Agreed. Went from ATT -> Tmobile -> VZ. Tmobile was nice but too many spotty areas in Denver. Still far better than ATT and their network was every bit as fast as Verizon’s in my area.
