Hello all! could someone with virgin who had previously used metropcs please give me a quick comparison? how are the phones? Service? Plans? Fyi I'm in atlanta if that helps with a service comparison. Thanks in advance
Well metro pcs doesn't hv faster 3G so watching videos n downloadin apps will take a long time but da fones are nice I recommend gettin da lg optimus m to start its every nice n faster even wen u don't overclock but go wit virgin mobile its way faster nice fones n dey hv da lg optimus v which is basiclly da same
Also da coverage isn't very good on metro.
Well my choices are either the Motorola Triumph with Virgin Mobile or getting the not released yet LG Esteem 4G phone for MetroPCS.
Also sucks that the Opitmus V doesn't have Flash...
I think I'm going to wait and get the Esteem for Metro..
Flash is a waste of resources. I can't wait until it is gone from the web.Also sucks that the Opitmus V doesn't have Flash...

You don't want the Triumph. That phone has issues (check the specific forums for that phone, and read reviews. You'll change your mind.). The Optimus V is by far a superior phone due to it's fantastic stability. It's the best phone that Virgin Mobile offers right now. I'll even go as far as to say that the OpV is awesome enough to stand on it's own without root/roming.
No way is the OV superior to the MT I have had all 3 phone and the Triumph is with out a doubt the best phone on VM.
lol its awesome enough to stand on its own until you run out of internal memory and have to delete apps because it's taking up too much space.

The reviews on the VM site between the two phones state otherwise.
Common sense dictates that if you put more apps on the phone than it can handle then it will run out of space. So, if you are running out of space on a perfectly good phone with stable running apps, then it's obviously operator headspace.
Google navigation sucks on the triumph, but mapquest and waze work just fine, and it's not like I am in any shortage of spaceThe Radios are,the MT in terms of specs are better,but for the reason most use a phone the V is better with GPS and phone signal,being better.
Since my 3G is fast at my school I don't use my 4G sometimes. 1.50-1.00 is the average I see in my city, for metro Is 0.20-0.28....worst speeds ever how can people be on metro :/
Yeah I hear Metro has crap speeds. But the SGS3 makes me want to drop VM for Metro. Though IDK how fast Metro would be were I live.
^ Yeah That.
