Well... I did the dirty deed today and returned my Note 2 and restored my account to pre-upgrade. Although Sprint does have LTE here in Houston and I had no issues with signal at home, we went to our deer lease this weekend and 3g wasn't even always strong. I didn't have that issue with my Evo, so I'm guessing the weaker Samsung radios are a factor in that equation.
There was another guy on the ranch that had AT&T GS3 and his signal was strong. Sooo, because the phone is my deciding factor along with coverage, I felt like defecting was the right choice for me. It was SO hard to return the phone, but to be within the 14 days, I didn't want to push it and did it 2 days early.
Back to my Evo until Friday. Man this thing is tiny!!! Haha
Can I still visit in the Sprint section though? Gonna miss some of you.
