Seriously thinking about making the purchase for the unlocked HSPA + nexus and for service just shove a prepaid AT&T card in it. Of course I am leery of getting another nexus, even a GSM version because of the issues I am having with my verizon model. Floppy signal mainly where it will cycle from no data to 4g while sitting in the same spot.
I am also starting to wonder if verizon just, basically, sucks in my area. I started to think this when I ran a speed test on my moms galaxy note (HSPA+) and my nexus on 4g, same server, same time and the note destroyed my nexus in speed. I got about 2+gbps and she got like 8+. No way! The note also held a signal better in my work and even did respectable inside where I work.
The nexus only done worse.
So, this left me to think perhaps it could be my location could just suck for verizon. That and the erratic signal my Nexus has while out and about.
I did read the GSM version had a little signal snafu that was patched after the 4.0.4 update.
How is the call quality on the GSM / HSPA+ version? Signal strength?
