Antutu Benchmark score was 3229, and while I cannot seem to get full 4G signal I did score 2770kbps with poor signal.

Thank you
I really would of expected a lil higher on the benchmark. But Im sure after root, removing some bloatware, and a few tweaks, it may get to near 4000. But still, 3200 out the box is pretty good. I almost bought the Evo yesterday until the Boost sales guy said here in Milwaukee, we got pretty crappy 4G reception, and should probally wait til after summer to go 4G, when the towers get upgraded. Im sure after the Prevail, that thing has to seem like its Smokin!One other question, how are the front and rear cameras?

Besides the faster speeds. How is the phone overall? User friendly? Pros, cons, etc?

Yes the SIM card slot is still there along with the IMEI #.
The phone needs a little use to getting to since the home and menu key are in reverse, and no root method but it looks like someone just rooted theirs so there's that. Other than that it seems good so far especially the high resolution on the 4" inch screen. Flash player suppported which is one of the reasons I got it for.

Hi Dest1ny! I didn't notice it was you untill I quoted you. I used your referral code twice!
Anyway. The question I wanted to ask is not directed to you but to anyone who knows... Anyone got any information on discount handsets? I mean the sticker price is $300 but I'm sure there's discounts available...
As for the SIM solt. Can you put a SIM into it (AT&T or TMobile) and use it that way? Possible?
I wouldn't expect any discounts to happen for at least a month or two. Right now they are flying offa the shelves.

Amazon will probably be one of the first places you'll be able to find them at a lower price. I found lower prices there for the Warp and Marquee several weeks after they were released.
