I can't wait to get my new iPhone tomorrow (pending credit check)! Who else is exited to get theirs?
 
And if tmobile plans to swindle me, off to the apple store for an unlocked iPhone!
 
Why not save $70 and just pay in full up front and have T-Mobile unlock it for you?

well if i have to go to the apple store, im getting the unlocked iphone 4, not 4s or 5, thats too much (remember my budget from the other thread).
 
Can't wait for next few days posts...

"Arrrhhhh, no LTE here!"

"Not as fast as I thought, not happy"

"Is t-mobile throttling me? %&^@#$"

"Still slower than the next door's guy phone, how can I beat him?"

I stopped into my local t-mobile and got the low down. I'm excited to get the new iphone! Mine is great but I hate being on edge when in my town. Looking forward to some decent speeds everywhere I go.

Haha, noobs!
 
Well after tomorrow Sprint will have to change their ads about being the only carrier with unlimited data on the iPhone. Wonder what they will advertise now.

Something like the slowest 3G speeds of any major US carrier :p
 
I don't consider Verizon 3G to be fast at all. I just did a speed test and got 1.62 Mbps down. Not fast at all where I use my phone.
I consistently get over 2.2Mbps down, peaking around 2.7Mbps which is close to the theoretical max of 3.2Mbps.
in 99% of places, that's simply not true at all. I have Sprint too. Day and night difference using Verizon's network.

All depends on the area my friend, I am in a fresh NV area so my speeds are fantastic, have yet to run into an area with slow speeds or bad coverage. I have done speed tests with other iPhones on Verizon and I always pull much better speeds, Verizon in my area is overloaded with customers and they do not have the backhaul to handle it.
