I agree I've already gotten my moneys worth of this phone. I'm still not getting rid of my cable tv though. I like to play with my phone during the commercials.

Come to Texas. We have too many of them in some area's. There's people here with land that will pay you per pig if you kill them, just to keep them from tearing up their land and crops. They are mighty tasty too!

I'm from TEXAS! I was raised in San Antonio! How in the crap did I miss a huge farking pig with monster fangs and bully intuition? X.x Perhaps there weren't as many back when I lived there. I haven't been there in oh say..7 years or more.

Interesting coincidence! I'm originally from Texas too and spent my formative years on a ranch in San Antonio.
I never saw a javalina until I moved to South Texas. They're such cute little critters. LMAO!!! 
PS...to get back on topic!
After having the Ascend for nearly 4 months now I love it more and more. It's one of the best investments I have ever made!
I was gonna click on 4 stars but chose "Better than the reviews I read about it" since I read that it had bad call quality, a grainy lookin display, and a few other things. Not being one to care much about what a journalist says, I checked a few forums, made sure that there was a root exploit available for this model, and drove to my local Metro store that afternoon after work. You can return your phone within x number of days as long as it has less than an hour of talk time on it, so first thing I did was call someone, asked how I sounded, and once I was satisfied with that I tried texting. This was all still in the parking lot btw Then I took it home wanting to connect it to my wireless network, thought to myself "aw crap, I sure hope this thing supports WPA2 and AES." Yep, much to my surprise, my $149 out-the-door phone was able to authenticate and connect to my router using the most advanced encryption it has!! Well actually, my router didn't come with AES but... a reflash with Tomato fixed that. Second day of ownership I had the phone rooted and after cleaning up some of the crapware, decided that for the money I spent it's an awesome little device!! Sure, not as good as the high dollar ones, but then again, I didn't even spend $200 on the little gem. Great buy, and hell it's more than I expected

After that I traveled like mad. I went to Alaska, Then Canada, Then Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Now Florida. LOL So those big ole critters are more in the southern region huh? I'm about to do the Icarus mod Jazz. Someone said they've got Metro and it's working. If worse comes to worse I'll just have to go to my backup. Wish me luck!

Good luck with ICARUS! You're gonna love it!
Main thing....good preparation! Read every step first. Be sure to especially pay attention to the CWM part of it. Take your time...there's no rush. Don't miss any steps and you simply can't fail.

Well, She sent me a picture of one last night. She put cute purple hearts all over it and made it her wallpaper. She's so adorable, Even if I don't think her critters are. LOL.

I had an MMS issue at first but, It was fixed this afternoon. Everything is running smooth. It's fast as all get out. My battery is doing much better as well. I really love the start up droid and the unlock/volume style (Plus the speed!). Those are quite cool if I must say so myself. Are you running stock?
