iPhone 4 can be used fully functional on MetroPCS

You just need to get the International iPhone. I've seen the iPhone work completely on MetroPCS, both voice and data.

Saw two people with these units, but didn't bother asking how to acquire them.
 
the voice will work fully but you'll be stuck on metro's horrendous EVdo network at best for data.

better to flash it to a carrier that has a better "3G" network.
 
iphones are not 4G LTE capable.

were they streaming videos without buffer or quickly loading webpages that contained a lot of flash content?
 
I saw a youtube video a little while ago where this dude flashed a droid x over to metro and it got 3g. Looked pretty fast in the video. This was back when metro supposedly didn't even have 3g, So I don't know.
 
highest someone here has reported EVdo is 1mbps down.

i can load up webpages where im at on EVdo but streaming video, forgettaboutit.
 
about a month ago i picked up my ipod touch and wanted to play with it so i turned it on and after about 30 seconds i turned it back off and havent touched it since. its slow at best, and the screen is half the size of my esteem... if the iphone had a bigger screen i could see wanting it but it still is a VERY locked down device. even jailbroken. ill stick to my android from here on out.

Yes I did.

I'll have to take what I have said back because i was indeed able to stream video without buffer on EVDO.
