|Bunghole| Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well, by no means do I live in as populous area as you do, but its still pretty urbanized in a lot of places around Cincinnati and I own a 300-plus horsepower car (Mustang GT) and I find ways to...creatively accelerate. I'm just teasing you anyway. Its a nice looking car and you obviously can get what you want. How long have you owned that Pontiac G6? IIRC you haven't had it that long...something wrong with it, or is it a lease or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khatmandude Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have Sprint, live in Cincinnati and have zero issues whatsoever with calls, texts or data on a Samsung Galaxy S2. I think Sprint is going to have many customers switch over to them when Verizon's unlimited data ends. My girlfriend pays $122 a month for her phone from Verizon. That's just ridiculous.

[/quote] yep, the response time is the biggest difference. i always had to advise against people wanting to use wifi aircards for gaming, etc. the latency is rough, but in the real world, 150ms and 30ms isnt something the consumer is going to notice what-so-ever. did the testyou read give the model of the devices used? the best test i ever saw compared aircards, they did a speed test but also downloaded the same file from the same sites and timed them, etc.. the real world results area always closer than the speedtest results. I know when i was a data specialist at tmobile(for like two months) i helped a business rep sell some blackberries and some aircards to a company needed to transfr/download big ass PDF files for orders and products. and we sold them based on speedtest.net speed test beating out ATT or someone. and they later bitched that the speeds slowed down, like the first 30-60 seconds it was download at like 200k(back then that was hot shit) but after that is slowed to about 90k for the remainder of the download. i doubt its that much of a change, but tmo was alll about selling data packages back then... sprint still offers unlimited 3g and 4g aircard plans and home/business data plans to corporate liable accounts. So there is probably a lot more active data users per tower. That doesnt change the fact that each user is potentially getting a slower service, but just a likely reason as to WHY they are. if you care enough about the 20-25% difference in data speeds, chances are you are using a fuckload of data and are going to destroy the caps the other companies have. and lastly, sprint made a dumb mistake trying to force the wimax service. there was really no way they were going to be able to fund it successful with clearwire. so they got a head start in something that was going to fail, now they are behind, once sprint has fully launched LTE, a comparison would be more realistic as well.. the next 15-18 months are balls to the wall decommissioning nextel and flipping the switch on LTE.. im very curious to see where that leaves it all.. sprint has already announced neither the iphone 5 nor the launch of LTE will effect the unlimited data plans, its the nitch they are going to stick with.. considering wireless devices are moving towards phones making calls via the data network as well, so eventually instead of a tower running CDMA, 3G, WiMax, and LTE, it would be strictly LTE.. that would be huge... but thats probably 6-7 years away... /rambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 depends on the gps chip in the SIII. the gps in the previous samsungs blows ass ever since the Moment which was early 2010, samsungs gps has been lame as hell... the device lookds great though.. tough call, but if the gps is solid, then id go Siii i think... htc is a CLOSE second though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
