My Droid X 3G is on par with my friend’s 4G iPhone 5 on Sprint with unlimited data. How’s that taste?

Option 4 (and probably the best): Look up the aluminum covers that are on sale now.

Just pre-ordered mine a couple of days ago because unlike some people in this forum I don’t care about whether the Note II has VZW branding on the home button I only care about whether it will serve me well for the next two years!

Verizon made it very clear. If I wanted to upgrade from Droid X (Unlimited Data)… to Note II. I will have to Give up Unlimited Data and “upgrade” to their share Everything Plan. FU Big Red! (I had no choice… Good Bye Unlimited Data)

Yeah I know they are and I know it’ll probably be locked but I didn’t want to say it will have one since people would say something.

I want to keep my unlimited data just like the rest of us, but I also am thinking I can use one of my families upgrades.So I have 2 idea on how to do this..

A) My dad is on a 4GB plan (from the double data Promotion), so I could move my upgrade to his line, get the phone, activate it on his line, and move it back to my line. But he would loose his 4GB data and get pushed to a 2GB plan..
OR

B) “upgrade” my mom or sister to a smartphone and get the N2, and then move them back down to their feature phone.. I know I would have to pay for 1 month of data..

Can anyone say with 100% certainty that one of these would work?

You must be new here. Verizon’s update release timetable doesn’t recognize silly concepts like logic, and instead rolls a six sided die, multiplies the result by 10 days, then begins “testing” whatever firmware the OEM has submitted for approval at that time. Once the moon aligns itself properly relative to Earth and Orion’s Belt, then they add in their own software (which they fail to test), and push it out to subscribers.

Home button is a deal breaker for me. Sorry, VZW, but I used to be your biggest advocate. You’ve pretty much lost me. It may seem like a small thing, but combined with the loss of unlimited data, changing return periods to 14 days, encrypting bootloaders on everything, the G-Nex radio fiasco that took them almost a year to resolve…I’ve about had enough.

i dont know about anyone else, but as a GS3 owner on Verizon, I am really happy to see this coming with Jelly Bean. There should not be too much of a difference in builds besides the Exynos…shouldnt be too long for the GS3 owners.

Exactly. If I had that kind of commute, I would do just what you did and buy at full retail over switching to a crappy network w unlimited data. In essence all you get is unlimited crappiness…

Exactly. It’s too bad Samsung wouldn’t play hardball on the confidence there are lots like you and force VZW into more desperate position so that the Sammy device on VZW were more as Samsung would like them to be. Apple it seems is just more confident and independent behind the scenes with such deal is what it boils down to I think. Samsung could threaten to only market devices for VZW themselves and goto the FCC and such as a last resort if their confidence didn’t work as well as they would like to get stuff as they want and officially supported with subsidy and such. We’d still get the device and be able to stay on VZW, but would all just have to free ourselves from the subsidy less for more con.
