It’s really beat up. Having a toddler in the house will do that. Got a case for my Nexus 4 this time.

Plan for the worst. Plus I doubt anyone would actually want a Droid2Global running on 3g. Especially mine (pretty badly beat up)

If the coverage sucks, then I’ll switch over to ATT. And if it all sucks, then my Nexus 4 might be going on ebay and it’s back to my VZW plan!

But it’s a really good plan/price. I have unlimited data, plus got on a $20 discount promotion (every month) they were offering a couple years ago. My monthly bill is very close to the prepaid plans everyone is getting nowadays, so I’m going to hold onto the plan and ride out the rest of my contract in case Verizon ends up releasing a phone I really want. Honestly, I don’t think anyone can compete with their network. I just like the added freedom of GSM/HSPA.

I could probably have gone with the 8GB model, but I wanted to make sure I had enough space if I needed it.

Break even could be even sooner.

Everything after that is gravy.

You’ll save a ton of money going prepaid, and if you ever decide to leave T-Mobile and go to AT&T, Straight Talk, Solevei, etc. you can without issue. Very worth it to go unlocked.

Even on AT&T’s HSPA+21 I get a comparable experience to what I had on Verizon’s LTE. If you get strong T-Mo HSPA+42, you’re as good as the best Verizon will offer. Some of your speeds may be measurably slower, but you’ll never notice it for anything other than downloading large files (even then, won’t be a big difference).

Everyone’s jumping on the LTE bandwagon because it won the buzzword wars; like VHS over betamax (though LTE is truly as good or better than HSPA+; it just doesn’t matter for things like web surfing, HD video streaming, etc.).

I have a friend who lives in a populace part of town who gets zero Verizon coverage at their house. They’re in a bit of a gully and Verizon didn’t do a good job with their towers there. They get AT&T just fine, though. So, should he get Verizon since they’re obviously the best, or go Straight Talk AT&T and get far better coverage where he lives for far less money?

If so, you can sell it and make money instead of getting hit with the ETF. Even if it’s not unlimited, you can probably sell it or at least give it away with no ETF if it’s not a Share Everything plan.

I have yet to see any negative effect of having a 16GB N4. For some, they need the functionality of a 32GB phone with an SD slot and a removable battery. For them, this would be the wrong phone.

There has been no verification of their hypothesis.
