What speeds will a Lg Nexus 4 be getting ? I know not lte but hspa+ 42 or 21 top ?

+42 will average around 20mbps in areas with excellent coverage. Even then it can be up and down. In downtown Atlanta I can only pull around 7 or 8 but at my work 30 miles away I can pull 25 ish.

I love what t mobile has done and the progress they have made but I really wish they would focus on indoor coverage and building penetration because it keeps getting worse and worse. I used to just deal with it but it's got so bad I literally can't make calls or send texts indoors at all when I used to have zero problems indoors.

Outside though it's great.
 
Hey guys, checked with a few dealers in Miami and they all have the new phones, and a few of the dealers are offering the financing on the new phones as well! :D
 
The dealer near my house, actually emailed me their online application for the store...filled it out and I'm approved for up to $1300!

So this is still available guys! You just may have to go to an authorized dealer instead of corporate store...10% down and then same payment monthly to pay off the phone. I'm getting myself the GS4 oh yeaa! :D

That sounds epic
 
This looks like the appropriate place to put this, if you need your IMEI added and your local stores are hassling you, let me know, I can do it for a small charge, but you need to have your SIM card already activated, inbox me if you have any questions.
 
Ok guys..I'm now on GSM!!! Went to the store I mentioned yesterday and looked at the s4, but ended up getting the s3...personal reasons for it, 1. saving $160...2. both are lte and 16gb 2gb ram...3. i run custom roms so the airplay and IR in the s4 would be useless to me....it boiled down to 720p screen vs 1080p and dual vs quad...i'm not a heavy gamer on my phone, so I decided to save the dinero :)

From many responses L.A. has a great tmobile network, meaning any byod metro will be good. LTE is up and running so that is always a plus.
The LG F3 can be a good phone, it just depends on what you want/expect from your phone.
Screen size, battery life, gaming, etc. all of that factors into your choice of phones. what I like you may hate.:p

I got the motion right very good little device but as of late me and couple close people to me who have the motion have being seing that the phone is just losing that spark it had its getting slower and acts up but the battery is still good. Is their any new phones up incoming on metro because the f3 sounds like a good phone to me and could be a good trade off for the motion
 
Sounds good to me just that im debating if i should buy it becuz feel like it would be that purchase where you get something but if u waited something else comes out but jellybean and half an inch bigger same processor its like i would never leave the motio but metro is Rolling out with new phones very quick now
 
Need a favor from you guys, if any of you have one of the newer GSM phones, can you pull and send me a copy of the metro visual voicmail app...I forgot to back it up when I started flashing roms
 
The 2 local Auth dealers here are blowing my mind. And that's an accomplishment.

Both stores have some GSM phones but not ONE activated. When I asked the clerks if they have a new GSM phone activated they look at me like I asked them how many blades are on a General Electric J-79 jet engine. :rolleyes:

One store has TWO S4's. BOTH hooked up to freekin WiFi.

All four clerks had garbage low end CDMA phones I wouldn't make my 3 legged blind dog named Lucky carry.

I politely but firmly tried to get Metro's mind right backchannel on Faceplant. How the hell are they supposed to sell the new network when there stores won't activate one single damn phone with it to show it off? I gave them the stores locations and the name of the clown club that appears to own them.

Stupidity of galactic proportions...
