  • So AT&T alters the search in the SGS3 within a week or two of it becoming an issue? So why the hell does it take so long to send out other updates?

    Or is it just easier to remove code rather than write it? This would be my guess.

    • wow…so it’s $5 dollars cheaper then Verizon at the lowest price for 1GB, then next it’s the same as Verizon at the 4GB plan, then each plan after that is actually MORE expensive then Verizon…CRAZY

  • So T-Mobile will get the Galaxy Note around the same time the Galaxy Note 2 is announced….. sounds about right.

    • They’re so slow with everything. I caved and just got the ATT version, unlocked it and applied that HSPA patch from XDA. Works like a dream on T-Mobile.

  • Been waiting along time for ICS to hit my EVO 3D. Feels late considering Jelly Bean is out but whatever.

  • “but will have no LTE radio, only T-Mo’s HSPA+”
    Can we stop pretending this happens already?
    I’ll eat my hat, a filthy unwashed Puma cap incidentally, if this thing doesn’t have an LTE radio in it.

    • Exhibit A) Galaxy Nexus the GSM and LTE versions of the phone actually have different form factors and internal layouts due to the LTE radio size. It actually happens

    • I’d start seasoning your hat…seeing as T-Mobile doesn’t have LTE, nor any immediate plans to roll out an LTE network.

      • It doesn’t matter whether they so or not. Generally when a Phone is sold on different carriers with the same chip, the cellular equipm is untouched. Theyll deactivate it, but that’s about it.

  • anyone else like the idea of shaired data. if the price is correct its not a bad idea. nothing is better then unlimited but at a fair price shaired data could realy work for some folks.

    • For most verizon customers it saves money. Average users don’t use enough data to even justify 2 gigs them selves and the more people on the account the more money people end up saving

      • And you may be able to get away saying that now, but data usage across all users is growing exponentially. Therefore it will cost more. Why else would Verizon position themselves in front of this trend?

        Side note: if this does indeed save most people money, that means Verizon is losing money, really doubt that was their play.

    • I love the “idea” of it. It could have been great if Verizon hadn’t majorly screwed up the execution. The first tier should have been 2gb for $30 shared, not 1gb for $50.

      Regardless of use, when people see they are paying the same (or more) for less, they balk. A real world example, we never eat peanut butter. We’ve had the same jar of peanut butter in our pantry for a couple years and there’s probably only a quarter of it missing. We will throw it away due to the expiration before we ever finish it. Peanut butter is our “unlimited data”. But when the time comes to get more peanut butter (upgrade if you will), I’ll be mad because either the jar will be smaller, the price will be higher, or more than likely, both will have occurred.

    • android life doesn’t get enough traffic so they don’t update it anymore and put it here instead…which i like better

      • I wish Kellex would just redirect the AL domain to DL. Maybe filter out the “Android other” material from DL but have it all appear on AL (like Engadget standard versus Engadget Mobile)

    • It’s actually pretty important to have SOME IDEA of what is going on in the mobile world. The decisions carriers make affect other carriers. The VZW shared data and now AT&T is a perfect example of that. If you don’t want to know what anyone else is doing, then skip the “Android Other” posts…
