I think you'd be happier with the GSM Nexus 4. Definitely faster on T-Mobile than with VM USA. My speeds on VM were no where near the speeds I get now. No bloatware, OS updates before anyone else, can take the phone with you and change carriers if you're not happy with your current.

Is that HSPA+ 42 or does your city not have it yet? I'm getting that speed on WiMax on average and as high as:

Last I knew, Petrah had a Galaxy Nexus which only has HSPA+ 21. As pointed out, Petrah also has the advantage of getting those speeds without having to worry about whether to turn on the 4G antenna and how much it might drain the battery.

That's why I'm going with the N⁴. Everyone makes a big deal about it not having LTE, but frankly, I'd rather have HSPA+ 42. Speeds are plenty fast and easier on the battery. I'll do some speed tests once I get it.

What Mog said.

Honestly, I don't require fast speeds on my phone really because the majority of my online time is spent on my PC. My connection only matters when I'm out and about, which isn't that often. As long as I can price compare, look up an address, phone number, or open/closing times when I'm out of the house, I'm happy. I couldn't do that with VM USA because there towards the end the signal just went totally out or just wasn't strong enough inside of a store.

I like the idea of the S2 coming to VM USA but it's true why not get a Nexus 4 and get it on prepaid for the same amount.

What I don't like is T-Mobile only gives ya 5GBs of 4G Data and I like to surf the web and watch YouTube a lot. (No laptop. It died. And to poor to get a new one atm) So I don't think it would be right for me.
None the less I say it's a improvement over the EVO V 4G.

Anyone else that bought the reverb upset about this?

I bought the Evo and I'm not upset. You have to accept that fact that the phone you purchase will always be replaced by something better (or something that you want) within a month or two.

Still for $369 you can get a Nexus 4. I'm not sure the S2 is worth it.

If you want to leave VM and if you want to go with TM or ATT (or one of the many resellers) and if you can find a plan that works for you, then that's something for those people to think about. For the rest of us who are happy with VM, the N4 isn't worth worrying about.

I'd never buy the N4 because its limited to only 16GB of memory with no capability for expansion. I don't care how much the N4 costs, that's not enough memory for me and the N4 isn't worth it at any price.

Meh, the s2 is a bit faster but i just got this phone and would pointless to switch.

pickleheadguy · Nov 8, 2012

Music is a hobby. Gaming is a hobby. Both of these take up a lot of memory if you're really into it.

It's nice to have an expandable memory just in case you want to put more data on your phone. Apple makes 64gb iPhones, if they didn't sell, they would have stopped producing them.
