LG Esteem 4g -- Cost?

[Optimus_User]

I'm on a $45-plan for Metro right now, with my Optimus M, and when I decide to get the LG Esteem I'll want the 4G service. Will I have to pay extra for the 4G coverage or will my phone just pick it up?

Don't quote me on this because I really didn't do any legwork on it but my understanding is that Metro's 4G minimum plan is $50 so I believe you would end up paying $5 more a month.

I'm paying 45$ on the family plan and get unlimited 4g. When i upgraded i was switched to the 50$ plan so i went into a online chat with them qnd told them i lost my family plan price of 45$ and they put it back for me.

You do not get a subscription to rhapsody with this price but with 4g pandora works flawlessly

With 4g Pandora works flawlessly?

With 1x Pandora works just fine, just takes a min to load up at first. With 4g Music Video Gnome or the like should work flawlessly...

To tell you the truth everything has worked perfectly with this phone, only problem is the battery but i have an extended battery coming in the mail today.

With the 4g i feel like i am at home on my wifi, obviously 2-3 Mbps is much different then 12mbps when on my wifi but when doing normal browsing you cant notice a difference.

With Pandora and 1x, switching songs took forever. Sometimes it would stop in the middle of a song depending on the area that i was in(this would rarely happen but it did). with 4g it loads up right away. My optimus M was a great phone but this one is much better.

Where do you get the extended battery? How much life do you get out of it?
