Metro's galaxy s3 it's an lte device tmobile is hspa but I also believe it has an lte chip as well either way I like metro's prices so therefore metro for me

Metro. You don't get throttle after a certain amount of gb useage unlike T-mobile

Now my question is... would metro's version be comparable with T-Mobile's version . I believe well get the dual 1.5ghz snapdragon if I'm not mistaken ...

It's supposed to be the same specs as other carriers

Only different version is the international version...

Well i respect your opinion but metro will never announced it like others do unless you just want to leave metro that's another story there are several excellent sources that have already said the s3 will be out later October or so

 

[HereticSins]

Yeah plus tmobile sucks, what's gonna happen when you wanna upgrade, there phones kinda suck.

 

[yahhboy]

I understand that metro handles phone realeses differently, but what I was trying to say is that you can get the s3 on tmob right now, while on metro you have to wait till around q3. And that's not even for sure because like you said metro is "different with their releases. I could have been clearer
And tmobules phone selection isn't very good but is metros? The connect is metros highest specd phone and its just under tmobile's 4th or 5th best phone
And yes I know we are talking pre vs post but the monthly prices aren't that radically different

isnt the s3 QUAD core 1.4 ghz? also id say the tmobile version would be better because the tmobile network speeds are light speeds ahead of mpcs. also i suspect mpcs version may be tuned down specs.....otherwise why not launch now?

considering that they're gonna sell it for at least $500 it would be dumb for them to water it down. its already at a high price and if its dumbed down no one will buy it. they'd be wasting samsung's time, their own time, and the consumers time by getting the phone on metro at all.

its just as possible that they could be adding things to it. BTW the quad core is international version only. no us companies got that.



assuming they'll have similar specs, go with the network that works best for you.

Who's 4g is faster? Price is about the same. Both have good service I'm in south Florida. Its down to the 4g?

If you have a 42 hspa device then almost always tmobile

Sorry. What's a 42 hspa device?

 

[yahhboy]

Sorry. What's a 42 hspa device?

It's the modem inside the phone, I meant a 42mbps hspa+ device, which the galaxy s3 is

 

[jtw1216]

It all depends on the area you live in, & who has the better signal. I'm in Dallas & Metro has a strong signal all over here, & the dl speeds are constantly around 3-4Mbps.

Metro. You don't get throttle after a certain amount of gb useage unlike T-mobile

after you hit your LTE quota you get throttled back to unlimited 3G

 

[THE W]

after you hit your LTE quota you get throttled back to unlimited 3G

if you get the $70 plan there's no throttling on metro. the most you can get with tmobile is 5GB.

metro's "3g" is garbage.

 

[DrizzyVik]

how do you know that the s3 is coming out for metro for sure? do you have a reliable source?

 

[super squirrel]

Uhh...it's everywhere if you haven't noticed, there's like 3 or 4 threads about it.

There's more but I don't want to spend more time looking for the other sources. These sources are consistently reliable.
