Pre-Ordered my HD7

Just pre-ordered my HD7 at MobileCityOnline dot com for $699(unlocked). Not sure if I like T-Mobile and hence I have AT&T, I will stick with AT&T.
However, once they have HD7 in stock, I will get an email and have 24hr to cancel.
Anyone else with lower price that you would like to share?

That sounds like a reasonable price for the phone.

Yikes, that's a fair bit more than I was hoping to pay. I was hoping for around $100 less, if not moreso. I spoke to someone at T-Mobile regarding the phone and while she wasn't sure of the exact pricing she said according to what she's heard it'll sell for around $500 full price, though naturally it'll be locked to T-Mobile. I hope that's the price it winds up being, though I wouldn't mind paying a bit more.

I’ve been considering doing the same thing. I’ve been a hard-keyboard/Tilt guy for a long time, but from what I’ve read, I think I’m now willing to trade the hard keyboard for the large display. But this represents compromise. I don’t understand why I can’t have both.
I’m sure you’ve done your research and confirmed that the device will work on the AT&T network.
Have you made your decision because you feel that the HD7 will not come to AT&T? With a price difference of $500, does the Samsung Focus with the super AMOLCD display not become a contender?
I’m going to have to hold off for a bit and see what happens.

Doesn't that mean you'll only get EDGE speeds, though? I did that with the Nexus One. Bought it when it was first released and only had 3G for T-Mobile, but I was on AT&T.
Eventually I made the switch to T-Mobile, though. Much better prices and unlimited data!

I believe they (AT&T v Tmob) both have unlimited domestic data. Unfortunately, I missed-out on AT&T's unlimited international data. Now neither offers this.
I would switch in a second if anyone offered unlimited international data. This is an issue of increasing importance as the new OS appears to me to be more WWW centric as opposed to relying on device-based memory. (disclaimer: this is a personal opinion of one who has never used the new device)
Tethering is also fairly important to me, but my gut is that we will see this feature relatively soon.

I'm positive AT&T only offers an "Unlimited" plan that caps at 2GB. After 2GB is used, you're charged 10 dollars per GB used.

I made my decision based on the hardware, and I don't think I like Samsung writing in the front and the back of my phone. HTC(3 letters: minimum) looks better on my phone. I would love to have super AMOLCD on my HTC, but larger screen is more important for me because I like to watch movies and surf the net.

Wow, I was hoping to purchase one directly from T-Mobile and they usually retail their high-end devices at $499. Hopefully that is the case.

i've seen it as low as $529.99 for pre-order

I am torn now.
After some research, I ended up liking Samsung Focus better than HD7. I guess I'll cancel my order and wait until one of this baby (unlocked or AT&T)

Part of it because HTC is having doubts about Windows Phone 7 OS, and is making their cheap ass phones. I am sorry but they just lost my business.

[Q] Which Note to buy, Unlocked or AT&T?

I have seen some of the threads with tech comparisons between them, but I wanted to get a feel from forum members as to what the better purchase is. I currently have a grandfathered unlimited smartphone data+text plan from AT&T, and I am ready to jump ship from my trusty Nexus One. My question is, aside from the obvious price difference, what is the better purchase in terms of user experience and potential ease of upgradeabilty? I will be using it mainly for voice, texting, light browsing, and some note-taking. My hope would be to try to keep the same plan I currently have.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Would you like performance or data speed? Do you have the money to spend or do you want to buy subsidized with a contract?

Keep in mind if you buy an unlocked international version you won't have warranty on it in the US, unless you purchase an aftermarket one. Also, 3G near me sucks, so LTE would be great since I figure those airwaves are pretty uncongested for now. With that said, I have the unlocked version and love it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I own both and have been comparing them side by side. On the plus side the at&t version has lte (and boy is it fast), a much better speakerphone (much louder and clearer), and feels very smooth when moving around home screen. On minus side the at&t is a disaster on video playback IMHO. I ran the same video side by side and the at&t is skipping frames. On MX Video you cannot leave it in hardware mode, have to put it in fast sw mode. Total opposite of the international. Google earth loads in about half the time on the international. I find it very strange that its so different. The mail app is better O. The at&t but definitely runs slower.
I have a buyer for my international but I'm thinking I may just return the at&t .

Performance over data speed. I have the money to spend (amazon points!) And ICS sooner rather than later would be nice.
I assume these answers favor the international/unlocked. Right? My follow-up question would then be if I need to change my current plan to get the most out of the unlocked Note. Or can I just keep my current one? Are all of the unloked versions created equal? Or should I be looking for a particular one? Are all of the ones sold at amazon w/o US warranty? And what exactly is an after-market one? Sorry about all of the questions. I just want to make sure I make the right decision.
Thank you again.

if ATT doesn't have your IMEI in their database, they can't detect your phone model. So just call in say you drop your smart phone in the toilet and you have to roll back to a dumb phone now, and you want the dumb phone data plan. It's 15 bucks a month alone, and 10 with unlimited family messaging ( 30 total for the package). I am getting 4mb~7mb down and 1m up with the data plan.
But of course, there is risk involve, and there were people got caught with doing this and most of them were nexus user since at one point at&t got a batch imei numbers into their database. Worst case is at&t will auto bump you to the 3gb/month data plan. and of course, if they start to monitor your traffic, it wouldn't be hard to tell you are accessing stuff on a smart phone.

Samsung CSR's have already said they will deny a warranty claim if you are from the US. There is an Amazon listing that says "US warranty" but I would not trust that to be true. But, I would definitely purchase one that is either shipped by or sold by Amazon themselves, because of their "no hassle" return policy incase you get a defective one. Good luck.
There are 3rd party vendors who will sell you warranties and insurance e.g. Squaretrade. They typically run around 100 for a 2 year warranty and roughly 50-100 deductible.

AT&T LTE just means you can hit the stupid AT&T caps sooner and spend even MORE money. Just get the international.

Wind/Mobilicity Speed Tests

I know there are a number of speed test threads for the Nexus 4 but I want this one to be specifically for mobilicity and wind customers.
I have mobilicity's fake 4g premium data.. network type is set to lte/gsm/CDMA auto
Here are 7 test results with a peak of 10mbps down anyone on wind or Mobilicity will know that the speeds are unheard of.
These tests show an average speed of around 8 Mb but typical speeds are generally much closer to the 3.5 to 4 MB range.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Where in Mississauga did you take these speeds? I'm so thrilled.

Near heartland and about 1 km away from a newly erected tower (Terry fox and eglinton).
Keep in mind these were taken on a Saturday morning between 10-1130 (minimal congestion)

Wind doesn't have a great network, but when you pay $29 a month for unlimited everything you don't expect lightning quick download speeds. I was with them for awhile but I had to switch back to Rogers for reliability purposes. Still, those are good speeds for wind. Hopefully they continue to improve their network.

i dont know if they changed it, but when i had my galaxy nexus before nov 13, i was on basic data and i couldnt get more than 2 mbps, but i did get around 800kbps upload,

I wouldn't feel sorry for me. As stated above, I pay $24.25/month for my BTS plan with unlimited local calling, unlimited text and unlimited data.
Can you find me a comparable plan in the States?

Wind here on HMP (no premium data) $45 Unlimited everything taxes in
3MBPS is my max DL. Home and office have towers within 1km> radius. Good enough to stream Netflix and I can watch Walking Dead with no pixelation. I exceed 5GB of data per month and would love to have 10MBPS but for extra $10 no way. The speed now is good enough for me. It's bearable.

I'm on mobilicity on the BTS (BACK TO SCHOOL PLAN), and I always get at least 1.5 - 2Mbps, (On my lg optimus one), the data's not that great but I love having unlimited everything. Can't wait to get a nexus 4.

Let's not forget the coverage is pretty limited and the network is largely hit or miss.
To the OP, I think you are one of the first people I've seen with actual HSPA+ speeds on Mobi with their premium add-on. On the other hand, having to pay an extra $20 for that add-on kinda ruins the low-price idea of Mobi in my opinion.

To address multiple posts keep in mind that mobile is city is no contract. There is no denying that coverage is shoddy but at 40/month with no lock in and unlimited everything I'm not complaining.
To the previous poster: I actually only pay 40 dollars a month including the premium. I was actually on the friends and family plan for 35 dollars and in order to get the premium data I had to switch to 1 of the new plans which pissed me off.
I got in touch with Stewart Lyons and he personally saw to it that I got what I wanted. Ended up getting the new 50 percent off plans with everything I currently have plus extra roaming minutes and premium data for 5 dollars more than what I was previously paying.
All that said though the speeds are not consistent and I would really love to have 20 + MB/s... not willing to switch to one if the big 3 on a three year contract for that.

If you don't travel much then it doesn't matter.

the most i got was 8mbs, what is the best setting for hspa+, right now i keep it as cdma/gsm auto, to the OP you put lte/cdma/gsm, when LTE isnt supported whats the point

Yea I pretty much can't argue with that.
To previous post there really is no point I just do it on the off chance that it picks up layaway frequency and boosts my dbm.
The fact that I have an LTE microsim just makes it intuitive for me to want to keep it on that setting you never know what impact it may or may not have.

It's really frustrating when Mobilicity caps my $600 Note 2 at 2 mbps. $25 is a great deal though.

Sprint did good - Non-HTC Related

I just called Sprint because my mom uses an LG Optimus S™
She consumes about 5-6 mb of data per month, but since it's a "smartphone" she has to get charged the $10 fee.
Well, I called in after having been with the phone for a couple of months and asked (Not told) if I had to pay for the fee since she only consumes about 5-6mb of data and doesn't really utilize the phone to its capabilities.
After putting me on hold of a min or two, she came back and told me that they evaluated her account and data consumption and will issue a $10 credit monthly to cover that.
I was reminded a couple of times that I should be paying for it because of the type of phone. Also, once I switch to a new phone the discount will be voided.
Still, their customer service really helped out. That's a $120+(taxes) yearly savings.

Try talking to them now and mention the fact that they can trace the line the previous months to see the data pattern.
Since my mom doesn't even text, she can see this feature is lost on her.
I guess that's why they did it. I also have a business account with 6 lines, so that could have factored in to their decision.

I just called customer service today and they moved my upgrade up two weeks. So both my fiance and I got to upgrade our phones today. I was really impressed for how willing they were to satisfy us.

Yeah, they told me that. I'm bidding on one as a back up.

Originally the 10 dollars a month was a WiMAX surcharge, only charged to people with WiMAX phones... A couple months to a year later they renamed it to "premium data" and started charging all smart phones, which is a joke because they barely have any phones that aren't considered a "smart phone" anymore.

I have been with Sprint for 14 years and believe me I have had my share of ups and downs with their Customer Service Department. I have a fairly large account with them (8 phones) and have always managed to resolve issues. Sometimes I didn't get everything I was asking for, but was satisfied in the end.
Basically it's their plan pricing that keeps me a customer. As many have stated, their service in my area is not the greatest but having compared plans with other carriers I simply couldn't afford them.

Straight Talk Sued in Court

So it finally happened. Here is a summary:
http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/29/59757.htm
So, if I get my whole $1.10 from this class action lawsuit and Straight Talk either goes away or starts charging a lot more (just hypothetically), what MVNO is everyone on Straight Talk going to with their Nexus 4 while still staying with AT&T (I need their good phone coverage). Unfortunately it costs $15 more, but I guess I would have to sign up with gophone, as it has good reviews. AIO is not available in my area yet.

If they go under, you will have to file your own class action law suit to get the remaining value of your 6 month refill back! In all seriousness, I have seen posts where they shut people off for the remaining length of their refill for breaking the so-called TOS.

I'm currently on GoPhone and it's a pretty good service. I would probably recommend it to a friend. I just checked again to see if AIO was available in my area and it looks like it is so I might switch to that next month to try it out. There really isn't much difference, I would save $5/mo (except I have to pay for the SIM card for $10), and I would get throttled after 2Gb instead of being charged per Mb after that cap. Still, I am prepaid so I like exploring my options.
I just wish I had T-Mobile service in my area. I'd switch to that in a heartbeat, at least to try it.

Wait...people cant call you once you pass 100 minutes? Or are you just cheap and unwilling to put extra money in your account?

I just put an extra 10 bucks on my account in case I go over. Screen incoming calls, text whenever possible, of course.
The other thing that may help some of y'all is to go into a TMo store and ask the most techy looking person in there to remove your voicemail service. They will look at you strange, but they can do it.
Then just use GV.
I'm also hoping that all this rumor and posturing surrounding TMo's strategy is going to produce some pretty nice options in the future for LTE google phones.

People can't call after I go over 100 minutes...the only way to put more minutes is to do a full refill, $30, and it only gives you 100 more minutes....so its cheaper to just keep 2 minutes on the account and never answer it and then return calls with GrooveIP or Vonage..

just buy the refill cards. They come in many denominations. just get a 10 dollar one and add it to your account. After you go over your 100 minutes it will just charge you 10 cents a minute until your pre-pay account is empty.

yeah i went over this month because i am dealing with a lot of phone calls due to being in a car accident on my bicycle...so that refill idea is definitely a good option

If they go under I'll just switch to GoPhone. Last I checked it was $60 for unlimited minutes, texting and 2gb of LTE (HSPA+ for my Nexus). T Mobile is junk in my area. The only place where you even really stand a chance of solid 4G is Detroit. Most of the state is 2G.
