Kaiser, T-Mobile or Vodafone? (in the UK)

Ok, I'm out of contract with T-Mobile and have been for about 3 months now waiting and waiting for the Kaiser, but still no sign...
I call them on an almost weekly basis but still no release data, and by what you here on all the forums the date just keeps getting pushed back, well, I've just got off the phone to a very knowledgeable and friendly chap at Vodafone and he informs me that they have a release date of the 17th Sep, he said this may change (as always), but its a lot more than I'm getting from T-Mo. He also said that on the tariff I was looking at he could do me a deal and get me the handset for FREE
So... what to do, T-Mobile or Vodafone?
I know voda only have a 120meg limit but looking at my usage that should be ok.
What are the pros and cons of each?
Also if I get my PAC code from T-Mo now and dont use it, it might effect my bargaining power if/when they release the Vario III.
please discuss:

T-mobile G2X release date

I have heard from 2 diffent sources that T-Mobile will release the G2X on April 6th. Has anyone else heard this?

I've only heard April 20th.
I really wonder how much they will charge US off contract. I am currently on contract with them and i will be upgrading as soon as the phone comes out and would like to know just how much i will have to put out upfront.

Im with you on that.. Im hoping that with the OPTIMUS 3D coming out real soon it will help the 2X stay at a reasonable price.. I bought the HD2 off contract for $449.. I wouldnt spend more than that for this phone..
I believe this phone off contract will probably be around $500.
The way i look at it, i will just renew my contract with tmobile and NOT pay the full price and hopefully if AT&T buys them then i can cancel my contract and hopefully NOT pay and penalty
where did u hear apr 6?
If it is April 6th, great. If not, I may wait for the HTC Pyramid or the SGS2.
Ive only heard Apr 20! I want to know where he heard April 6th!! If so that'd be great

My boss was having problems with one if his phones. The CSR offered him an upgrade and said wait until the 6th. She said there are 3 phone going to be released that day and the g2x is one of them. I read there is a nokia to be released that day, maybe the other is the sidekick?
The second source was someone else who also was told by a CSR rep.
I doubt we see this phone on 4/6. If we do then somebody in T Mobile USA marketing dropped the ball.

The Nokia Astound was announced for April 6th. The CSR is confused about the g2x. No way it would come out in a week when there has been no advertising, nor a price.

She did say 3 phones were going to be released on the same day.
Astound, Sidekick and G2X? Would they even release 2 high end phones on the same day?
April 6 would be great..Sidekick and G2x would make a big sales date!
hey guys i heard april 20th from pocketnow.com
Isnt april 6 next week already? And still no major ads and advertisements and price? So i doubt it. But i wish t-mo would release it early.
that CSR is wrong as of right now the G2X is set for April 20th check out Tmonews. On April 20th 3 things are set to come out as of right now. The Sidekick 4G, G2X, and the G-Slate. I am a RSA and T-Mobile would of let the stores known if it was April 6th. We already have the new Nokia phone at my store for April 6th. So that CSR must of been thinking about the 20th when he was telling you what he told u.
I heard the phones were shown off by lg reps in the store, is this true?

I would not bank on that with this device, as it will work on AT&T - no out here.
Other devices, like MT4G will no work on #G/Hspa+ if they drop TMo bands - that would be a contract out.
I heard it'll be from $450-500

What! I thought sprint is getting the Galaxy Note too?

So sprint didn't get the contract?

The rumor is that it would be announced alongside the new nexus...ces officially starts tomorrow i believe.

I would very much doubt it. Because carriers have to redevelop phones with CDMA radios for US carriers, and those phones are usable in so few markets, it is much more expensive per unit to build and market a CDMA device than to create a GSM variant and allow customers all over the world to buy it and pop in a SIM. I'm actually surprised AT&T and Samsung bothered to develop an AT&T version of the note when the global version seems to be working so well. I guess kudos to AT&T for giving people a subsidized version with a US warranty.
That said, I would love the Note on Sprint, whether it's WiMax or eventually LTE. If they released it I would wait in line to get one.
AT&T could have gotten an exclusive for the initial release of the Note. So after it's released on AT&T we can hopefully expect it on Sprint. OR Sprint wanted CES to be about LTE and The Note will end up being Wimax...who knows
It wasn't even confirmed, it was a wild rumor. That said, it may appear sometime down the line.

Is this correct? March 15 for US launch? (link)

read this today:
"The One by HTC will be sold from 3 major US carriers: T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint. This means that Verizon has been left out as it will remain with the 2012 HTC flagship device, the Droid DNA. HTC One will be available starting with 15th of March 2013 and its pricing shouldn’t go over $600. This price tag will only apply to the US market, as for others you can expect this to be very different."

Is this true? I was under the impression that the carriers were going to announce their own release dates? and when was general pricing confirmed?
Well the international launch is march 15. US carriers will be around the same launch frame in march

It would be sweet if it did launch everywhere at once, but not even Samsung could pull that off with the SGS3. I still expect the US launch to be at least a month or so after the International launch.

If those US carriers stop loading their stupid bloatware, they can easily make the same launch date.
HTC, stop letting carriers load their **** onto your nice phone!

Too Little Too Late Sprint

Finally Sprint has released Pie! I layed down for a nap today (needed one especially after the Holidays), get up and notice my phone stating there is an OS update. I am now running Pie but what's funny is my wife and I switched to Verizon today, we're waiting for our new phones to be shipped to us before we quit Sprint.
I loved my V40 but it was both LG and Sprint that made us switch. The update service is total garbage. I would get monthly security updates once every 2-3 months and not getting Pie on a flagship phone only until like a year later is garbage. My wife and I literally have no service on Sprint in our new area and rely on wifi for everything on our phones. Now I wait a few days to get my new Galaxy S10+. No more LG and no more Sprint.
Welp it's time to say goodbye to the LG V40 forums and hello to S10+. Got my new S10+ today and switched to Verizon.
I'm enjoying the new Android 10 OS ?
