Might to be to finally move on...I average 15 to 30gb I would say, so maybe I'll included in that group but maybe not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I love how VZW will violate there own terms and conditions just to save some money. Two other companies are already offering unlimited data. Actually make that 3. I get 5gb of high speed data for $45 a month and if I want 5gb more it's only another $10. Verizon will definitely lose a lot of people because of this, not necessarily affecting there bottom line but people who have been customers for a very long time

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
They've invested in their network enough where unlimited data subscribers probably don't even make a dent... So the price hike to $50 and then this, they're just being pricks now. They can do what they want because of their network dependability.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I wouldn't worry. It's HTC, we'll likely get s-off options for sure. We should be able to have unlocked carrier and bootloader.

You'll probably be able to buy an unlocked version, get s-off, and flash a Verizon radio to enable CDMA. That's how the unlocked HTC 10 works, they all have the same internals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
In another thread I frequent a user says to stay far away from HTC devices. A lot of them apparently just heat up and nearly explode or catch fire. Apparently it's a common occurrence

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Really?

m9 had some issues with its processor heating up, but nothing to do with catching fire. I feel like that could theoretically happen to anything that's charging. I've heard reports of Samsung phones catching fire as well, and only HTC article I can find is on the one X.

Htc makes really good phones. And the developers behind unlocking them are pretty strong. If you're a Verizon customer they're still your best bet. The 10 can be s-off'd, unlocked, and rooted for $33. I'm going to hold out for a nexus to see which to get, but a choice of all 3 would be nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I don't disagree this however is a known issue. Pretty bad if I say so myself

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
Interesting.. I've known some phones had bad heating issues but didn't know that bad. LG G3 same thing recording at 4K can cause to over heat bad enough to shut itself down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Yea my N6 gets hot at times but never that hot. I'm always monitoring it though. It gets the hottest when it's being charged on the turbo charger

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Phones don't catch on fire when you use them, unless there's a battery failure where it's swelling uncontrollabl. They much more commonly occur while charging.

Found articles on S3, S4, HTC one x, iPhone, Nokia Lumia, blackberry, s6 edge+, OnePlus one...

Anyways this list could go on indefinitely, it's a problem that occurs sporadically across a wide range of manufacturers. Also there's no way to verify these actually occurred, people could falsify information for insurance purposes.

Couldn't find an LG one, looks like they're perfect :).

Also you guys are forgetting the Nexus 6 was sold in a Verizon store, and of course it has a Verizon logo. I doubt it will be absurdly obtrusive. It was bootloader unlockable, it was the exact same nexus being sold everywhere else. We have no way of knowing what the new nexus' will look like, but having it easily available at a subsidized price will be nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Yea the Nexus 6 may of been available via Verizon, by then I left them for good. But the device came out in 2014 and it took Verizon quite awhile to get the device. Branding on a device just isn't my thing. Both of my Nexus devices have no carrier anything on them and personally that's what I prefer. Subsidized means contract, never again with any carrier for me at least. I don't believe in paying for a phone over a period of time. You should only have to pay for service monthly. I've bought both nexus devices outright and I'll continue with that from now on.

I'll agree to disagree about phones melting and catching on fire because I'm sure it happens more than we know about

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
I could actually see exactly this happening again. They'll sell their own version with the only difference being the ugly Verizon logos all over it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Exactly, the same thing that happened with the Nexus 6, and it even received Google updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Well that's good. If the only bad thing about it the logos, it can be a pretty good thing for people that still want subsidized phones. Personally I don't think I'll upgrade again with Verizon, buying outright is better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I got a subsidized price for our kid's iPhone 6S, which only cost us a 2-year contract sign up. My Nexus 6 was bought from Motorola and the price for the iPhone was drastically lower.

Then again, I was willing to pay more for a Nexus and not so much for an Apple, honestly . . .

I don't get people sometimes, my gf wants a new device. She has had her VZW S5 for almost 2 years. I found a Moto X Pure Edition 32gb at best buy for $249.99 on sale and she says eh to it. She'd rather have an S7 for around $30 a month on a plan. I don't get it

quick question .. Sprint operates a nationwide network with CDMA technology in the PCS (1900 MHz) and ESMR (800 MHz) bands, which includes CDMA EVDO Rev. A for 3G data.

does this mean i can use a fone that has	GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies on sprint network. i know it wont use LTE 4G cuz the bands are different ..but 3G is fine

Part of me always wanted the 6P, but I just never tried it due to the size. I love the 5X and all, but I still always wonder how much better the 6P is with all that extra power. Hopefully sailfish and Marlin are both badass
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
The 6p is in a whole different class.

I hope they're good too, but it's an odd design.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I would hope so also. I know [MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION] won't like this comment but I've heard nothing but bad things regarding HTC devices. Someone i know works on phones and says the majority of Android devices are HTC branded and says it's all too common. I've grown to love the N6 and it's size. The 6P is a size down but looks just as good

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I still don't understand that statement.

Sure HTC has had issues, what phone manufacturer hasn't? The point is HTC is making the most well rounded phones lately. The 10 is a fantastic phone and has very positive reviews except for the fact that it's overpriced. It's the best phone I could find on Verizon's network.

I mean Samsung had been getting bashed much more lately. They just recalled snapdragon 820 for fire potential reasons. Isn't that worse than HTC? I think so.

The HTC ones are nightmares to repair, but I got my m8 to last almost 3 years with good performance. I was pretty happy with it, so I'm not too sure where these bad things are coming from. HTC hasn't been bad for years, and sure the m9 flopped, but they're making fantastic devices these days that nobody is taking a look at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
We will just agree to disagree. And as far as the best phone on the network maybe it's not the phone maybe it's just the network

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
But are we discussing how bad Verizon is or how bad HTC is?

Regardless, I really do think they nailed this phone, and I've read nothing but positive things to say about it. Plugged it in to my car today and the audio drivers really made a difference.

Just saying so far I'm really enjoying it and I'm looking forward for the development.
