Which Carrier do you use..?

ATT looks so far is the majority of the members here.

I didn't do an early termination. I got the unlock code off ebay by giving my seller my IMEI.

That makes sense VanillaGorilla, but since so many seem so incredibly keen to unlock their phones despite being financially locked into a contract I though surely there must be more to it than roaming fees.

didn't even have to write a response.  x2

Im on AT&T as well. And it is super sad when you go into a corporate store and they have no clue that they even had that phone. I asked once to a rep if they had it (before I bought it) and they said it was just a rumor and that it wouldnt get released (something about too many bugs and too much $$$ to make). A week later i'm in there again (cuz my bro permanently locked his SIM) and the guy couldnt believe I had one. So that explains the low support and the lack of updates (i assume).

It reminds me of my experience with MetroPCS. The Reps were clueless about everything (except how to pay your bill). I find it strange that such a device isnt on their usual books. Its a powerful device.

FYI FOR AT&T USERS

AT&T upgrading their network - how it may affect you:

I had been having trouble connecting to 3G, staying connected to it, or getting much speed out it the last 2 days straight. Last night I finally lost all data connectivity, period. Could call and text, but zero data. After 4 HOURS of this, I finally got 2 bars of EDGE network, and did not get 3G speed back for another 6 HOURS.

I called AT&T about this - a bit upset - and after going through several people finally discovered they are quietly upgrading their network to handle the upcoming "3G+" data traffic (AT&T's version of Sprint's "4G" - 8-12 Mbps down/3-5 Mbps up).

The bad connection and temporary data blackout was because they are essentially taking towers down one by one and retrofitting them, and they finally got around to the towers near me. This will probably go mostly unnoticed in metro areas with lots of towers (if they haven't finished those areas already), but in more suburban or rural areas, you'll likely see the kind of issues I did.

Fortunately, it was only temporary. 4 hours dead & 6 hours EDGE from 10pm to 8am one night isn't too bad at all, unless you're obsessively checking your connection every 10 minutes (guilty).

If that's the price for moving up to the kind of data speeds our dragons were built for, I'm more than happy to pay it!

This is great, I want to make droid users cry.
