Next rumored "Superphone"?

So that's why I couldn't take my current phone, galaxy nexus, to prepaid on Verizon? Because it's LTE capable?

Verizon won't let you use the galaxy nexus on prepaid. Nor the droid DNA, Galaxy s3 or note 2. You can only use what they offer when you sign up for a particular prepaid service. They'll show you all what ever phone is permitted on prepaid.

VZW specifically?

because you can get 4 or 5 Gigs for $30 on Tmob prepaid 4G (hspa+ 42), after that it's 3G. Just can't remember the exact amount of consumption right now.

That's $30 and includes unlimited txt and 100 voice minutes. :D:D

So could I port my number to Google Voice and use that on the prepaid Tmob plan? 100 voice minutes isn't much, but that's enough data for my voice and data needs.

Of course, now that I have my network extender, we're just going to stay with Verizon.
 
So, any fresh rumors on the latest and greatest coming down the pike in the next 5 or 6 months(May or June) timeframe for Verizon??
 
Since it's Motorola, I would say that this rumored "X" phone will make its way to Verizon at some point. How far we are from this idk. I've also heard rumors of a droid razr m hd as well.

grooveip for voip (xmpp) calls using your google voice phone number.

You can't port numbers to/from prepaid in most cases, but that's the beauty of GV. You can't get MMS on GV, just plain SMS. Someone is going to figure out the gaps at some point.
 
I would love to see the Motorola X on Verizon... but after the Nexus fiasco and Moto's penchant for locking their bootloaders, I'm on the fence about it. As long as there is a toolkit to unlock, root & ROM that puppy, count me in.

I've been setting aside money every month so that I can buy a new phone at full retail every 2 years or so... that way I won't lose my unlimited data. And while the Nexus 5 would be a worthy successor to my Galaxy Nexus, I just can't see Verizon carrying another Nexus phone :(

But the next superphone? With Key Lime Pie? BRING IT :D
 
Awwww just wait til VZW changes it unlimited data plan policy. But 10 bucks a month should be sufficient to pay for a full retail price phone every couple of years.

I wouldn't count on a tool for unlocking the bootloader, based on what Motorola has been doing with this current generation of Verizon phones. I do expect them to have a developer edition similar to what they have for the Razr M and Razr HD. Why they don't have a developer edition for the Maxx HD, I'll never know :confused:
 
I kinda want the DNA, but checking the forums I don't see a ton of developer support like I do for the GNex. Granted, it is a brand new device, and I didn't get a GNex til it had already been out for six months. I just love the support that exists for the nexus devices.
I'm not due for an upgrade til March, and I might hold off on that.

One thing that I don't get is these top end devices only having 16 GB storage and no expandable memory. I'd dump Verizon and get a Nexus 4 if it had 32 GB. The Droid DNA, 16 GB.

Conspiracy theory - force people off unlimited data. Cut storage options for phones. Profit.

It's not a theory, it's the truth. It isn't coincidence that the international version of the DNA, the butterfly J, has a sd card slot and it was reported that Verizon specifically requested that HTC remove it for their variant.
 
I got a SGS3 while I like it I really wanted a Note. I got the SGS3 before I knew the note was coming. Also my girl has a DNA, really REALLY like that phone. Also the DNA seems to have a lot better reception then my SGS3.

Guess Ill wait to see if Moto does a 5inch 1080p phone. Id like that as long as it had capacitive buttons.
 
I want a phone that doesn't require a backpack to haul around.:rolleyes:

I remember the days when I could put my phone in my pocket :smokingsomb:
 
Moto actually changed the boot loader on the last official droid X update preventing owners from going back to previous versions. So I'll think twice about ever getting another Moto phone. :mad:
 
I desire.... Nexus 4 w/LTE and 32 GB or HTC Droid DNA with 32 GB.....
What's that you say? Neither of those exist?
Well I'll just hang on to my GNex another year.
