Somebody asked in another thread for those of us that have the Verizon model to make a separate thread so here you go.
Phone arrived yesterday morning. It came half charged, before turning it on I charge the rest of it which took about an hour.
I tried to activate it (porting number) and it didn't go smooth, had to go to Verizon and have them do it, but 20 min later good to go.
This thing is fast no doubt.
I spent the day getting things setup and downloaded. I had 4g on, blutooth, GPS and NFC, the phone lasted 5 hours (sounds bad but I think that's good). I spent all the 5 hours with the screen on, and those radios and downloading and streaming music.
I ran speed test and got 17k (I think that's a bit high but still 4g is fast).
I ran quadrant standard and got 4500. So lower than the quad for sure, but I tell you it's fast.
Reception is great I have 5 bars in my house, 4g is solid not cutting out or anything.
I don't like the notifications that come with it, so I'm looking for new sounds.
Bloatware? Yeah it has some. Non deletable.
Not sure what else you guys might want to know?
Day 2 updates ( A more typical day)
I unplugged the phone at 8 am, I used GPS, 4g, wifi (when available) and blutooth all day. The phone was at 5% at 10pm. I would say that's a pretty strong battery life. This includes normal emailing (around 100), light internet browsing, S voice, 20 txt messages, 26 phone calls, downloading some apps.
Overall I'm happy with the battery life. I think it would serve the average user well.
Cell reception here in Charlotte, NC has been great 5 bars mostly.
4g reception tested a few times again over 17,000 kbps. I don't know if it's really that fast but it's fast. It is faster than my wi fi.
I reran quadrant standard and got a 4950.
Is there any lag? Maybe a touch here or there, but that's me nit picking.
Things I don't like? The stock calendar sucks, replaced it with Business cal. The stock email client is ok, but could be better, not sure what to replace that with. I took the keyboard back to the 2.3 keyboard which I like better. But it's a bit of a stretch to use in landscape because the phone is pretty big.
It's so light and thin it can feel a bit cheap yet not if that makes sense.
Overall, i'm really just nitpicking I'm happy with it and I think most people would be too.
