Sprint blows. They just happen to still have unlimited data and be cheaper. That's the only reason I'm with them.
It's either an iPhone or a Droid amongst my circles. Verizon really won a lot of mindshare with that monicker, likely to Sprint/AT&Ts chagrin.
If I'm not in a major city or explicitly on the highway Sprint's coverage sucks. Granted if I wasn't traveling around it wouldn't be an issue, but I do so it's a no go.
Main deal is I want something that works at the Family Lake House so that means like most "back roads" in GA you gotta have Verizon or AT&T. I'm on an ATT Family plan right now, but I could maybe see myself switching to Verizon at some point. Both honestly have similar LTE coverage down here from what I've seen.
I can't find the iOS thread and I figure there are plenty of iPhone owners in here.
Are the $20-30 iPhone 4 glass screens with digitizers and LCDs attached being sold on eBay the real deal IPS screens? any differences to OEM parts?
Later this year is going to be very interesting. When the iPhone 5 comes out, the iPhone 4 is going to become the "free" iPhone. If Joe and Jane Doe walk into a Verizon store looking to buy new phones for their kids, do you think they're going to choose the iPhone 4 or some LG Optimus phone?
3G speed depends on where you live.
The only constant seems to be that AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile are all terrible in the Loop.
He was talking about walking into a Verizon store. Android's not leading in Verizon sales.Depends on what they like. There's a reason Android is leading right now.
perhaps.It's because it's available on more carriers, has super cheap/free models, and is often pushed by the dudes in retail shops because they most likely get a better cut on the phones.

A free iPhone 4, $99 4S, and $199 New iPhone, starting in October. I don't see how this sales trend changes through next year.
Sprint sucks terribly in Detroit, but then again it is Detroit. I stick with them because I get unlimited everything for $50 and I get good speeds at my house. But at work, near the stadiums and downtown I don't get 3G.Sprint is great in the DC area. Their coverage is everywhere. Plus if you do roam, you pick up the Verizon network for free.

And deservedly so

that's ridiculous.

So you do think android will continue to outsell iphone? I'm confused.
Actually one problem is that the next iphone will have LTE. Some consumers may be a bit more conflicted than they normally would be about getting last year's model if it doesn't have 4G, which carriers love to market as a necessity. That could cave the sales of the low end models leaving android that niche, again.
The type of people you're talking about will try typing on a 3.5 inch phone vs a 4.3 inch phone and make their decision immediately.
Screen size is far more important than OS to most non-technosexual smartphones users that I know.
We're discussing US sales. AT&T is an American company. They just announced that 3/4 of it's smartphone sales were iPhone. A trend that I expect to continue next year.
They surely will make their decision. For iPhone, apparently, since 78% of people buying AT&T phones bought them.
ATT sucks so bad in NYC. Might jump ship to Verizon, but my unlimited data plan keeps me tied to ATT.
This is the first time the new iPhone has launched on 3 major carriers, and for the past 6 months at least, it is on top at AT&T and Verizon. They still only offer the free iPhone exclusively on AT&T, which may be why it has more iPhone sales than Verizon, even though Verizon is a larger carrier, but will likely offer a free iPhone on those 3 carriers later this year. iPhone just got added to 5 regional carriers this month (not a part of the quarterly results just announced). They will also possibly go to TMobile. How long will the wave last? If it is just every 6 months, that's still half the year where iPhone sales do better.Yes we are discussing US sales, Android has about 50% of the US smartphone market while iOS is around 30%.
I find it more believable that these sales go in waves rather than that Android actually reversed its overall momentum.
hey att president, the iphone accounts for 78% of your sales, what phone do you use?
ATT sucks so bad in NYC. Might jump ship to Verizon, but my unlimited data plan keeps me tied to ATT.
How much data do you people with unlimited plans actually end up using a month? Even with my limited data plan I still never really use more than a gig or two on the iPhone.
I have no idea why people are sticking with ATT and not switching to Sprint.

really? I get insane speeds in queens and brooklyn on my skyrocket.
